00:00The Reds looking for a sweep yesterday in Cincinnati over the Cubs Chicago had
00:08other ideas the bats waking up for the Cubbies 17 hits 13 runs scored the
00:15Cubbies avoid the sweep in Cincinnati against the Reds they do end July with a
00:21winning record now 13 and 12 for Chicago what is so fascinating about this game
00:27even being involved between the two bottom teams that are well below 500 in
00:31the National League Central is what exactly is the Cubs perspective in the
00:35final two months of this regular season yeah that's the question mark at this
00:39point like sellers and buyers at the deadline not a lot of good vibes around
00:43there can they make a run can't they make a run you sort of get both of those
00:46you know you're waving the white flag are you going for it's some point at
00:49this I don't think it's gonna work out in their favor put it that way but
00:52that's a nice win yesterday 13 to 4 but the bigger story there for me is
00:55Ellie Dela Cruz I think I'm Oh for like 99 on betting Ellie Dela Cruz I loved
01:00him yesterday to score run everything made sense yesterday high weighted on
01:03base percentage for Dela Cruz which means he gets on and then he had steer
01:06Friedel Stevenson all behind him with high ISO power numbers and you know he
01:10loves the steel bases he doubled yesterday like oh this should be good
01:13with one out he gets thrown out trying to steal third with two outs yesterday
01:18which is like the cardinal sin of baseball don't make that third out of
01:21third base on the base pass wait for them to knock you in and the next inning
01:25I believe that the Reds did score three runs which if you let it play out
01:29probably would have knocked him in so just another day another dollar lost on
01:32Ellie Dela Cruz but a nice Chicago Cubs and today on the mound I think the
01:36Cubbies win again even with Sonny Gray I think St. Luke's sunny ground them out
01:40today I believe Sonny Gray's on the mound today going up against them so
01:43we'll check into that game later but 13 to 4 easy win today easy win yesterday
01:47for the Cubbies
