The Cubs completed the 4 game sweep of the Pirates on Sunday afternoon at Wrigley. This coupled with the 2 game sweep of the Twins in Minnesota before coming back home, equals a six game winning streak. The Cubs still sit at 12 games under 500, 21 games out of first place, and just a cool 10.5 games out of the Wild Card with 24 games to go. I should still be happy about these wins; I am…
In kind of a continuance of my last blog about the Cubs, it’s pretty hard to get excited about it. Sure, I’m happy; I’d much rather see a Cubs win over a Cubs loss. But what does it all mean? It means nothing in the short term, 2021 World Series quest that existed earlier on this year. It means we’re actually giving ourselves a worse draft pick for next year. But it doesn’t matter, right? Because we’ve found our future with the guys leading this charge.
I saw a survey the other day: would you rather have KB and Rizzo Or Schwindel and Wisdom along with a couple free agents? I couldn’t believe how many people voted for the latter. How much stock are we really putting into Wisdom and Schwindel? Sure, Wisdom is going to break KB’s rookie home run record for the Cubs, but… how many were meaningless? Sure, Schwindel is one of the hottest hitters in baseball, but against who, and again, for what? Hey, I like those guys too, but I certainly wouldn’t choose any combination including them over our obliterated core if I had the choice. But I don’t have any say in that, and I certainly don’t think any of those guys are coming back after the offseason, so… these are THE guys?

Matt Duffy, who initially looked like he’d be a nice piece for this playoff team, now finds himself playing a leading role. And again, Frank Schwindel, who I thought we had traded for, but actually claimed off waivers from Oakland (?), has been lights out, hitting the 2nd GS today, the one that gave the Cubs the lead for good in the 7th. I actually watched the end of the other game where he slid into 1st base, avoiding the tag, completing the walk off infield single; that was a very good, exciting play; this guy has been getting used to exciting Cubs fans.
If anything, this latest streak has me watching Quick Pitch again. If anything, my extreme bitterness has been dialed back to just plain bitter. I’m enjoying baseball in general again, just in time for the start of football season. Maybe I’ll need a bit more baseball before I completely close the book. Maybe I’ll need it a little while longer, at least until the Bears put the best available player at the QB position. Maybe it’s not him, but Frank Schwindel that will pull me out of the gutter. If anything, he’s really trying… Go Cubs!
