What's good for the goose is good for the gander as the saying goes and the Cubs played a tight game against the Reds in game 39 of the season and Hendricks pitched a tight gem.
With Darvish on the mound for game 40, the Cubs also played a tight game but ultimately lost in extra frames.
What do we take from the first two games of the series? First the Central is a tough division and there is going to be no easy outs, no easy wins this year. If the Cubs are above .500 after playing the Central they have done well this year.
Secondly, I feel like sending Darvish out there is worse than a dice roll at this point. Its not that Darvish is pitching poorly but he just doesn't pitch. I feel like every fifth game is basically a loss but I don't know what the Cubs can do to correct this situation at this point.
Still, Cubs go for the rubber game tomorrow, go Cubs!
