Tonight, the Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs will host Jeff Hoffman and the surging Colorado Rockies, who’ve won eight in a row. As we discussed earlier today, the Rockies have been disproportionately bad on the road and Kyle Hendricks is coming off an excellent start, but it’s not always that easy.
Having said that, Hoffman has allowed more than his fair share of fly balls this season, so I’d like to see some of the Cubs sluggers really taking advantage (i.e. hitting some balls into the bleachers).
Despite the win yesterday, the Cubs have been hurting lately. A little winning streak is just what the doctor ordered. Let’s see it, Cubs.
ALSO: Luis and I will have our fourth episode of Outside the Ivy tonight, so be sure to stick around after the postgame with David Dejesus and David Kaplan for that. If you follow along on Facebook Live, you can even ask us questions during the show. So, you know, do that.
