There are two people in the 2019 season that have the power to derail any Cubs game. The first is Daniel Murphy (former Cub but I never rooted for him). Against the Cubs he is batting .529 with a 1.353 OPS. 9 hits, 5 RBIs, I could go on. Basically, whenever he plays the Cubs he produces and the Cubs often lose.
Brad Brach on the other hand is a Cub and came to the club in the offseason to help shore up the bullpen (ha!). His season-long ERA is 6.39, which is terrible, but even more terrible is his June ERA which is 48! When Brach is in the game the Cubs often lose.
So last night when Murphy AND Brach were in the same game, whoo boy that's a 10-3 loss. These two are playing sweet sweet music of Cubs L's and I am suffering no illusions on how the rest of this roadtrip is going to go.
Hamels is on the mound for the last Rockies game, great. Then 3 games in LA, great. Everything is great.
