Terrible pitching ever since Lackey miracle in game 1

 

The Cubs lineup is obviously solid but it has really been incredible how bad the Cardinals pitchers have looked. They are consistently missing their spots by a lot. Now to be fair, a team like the Sox might not take advantage of it because they aren't patient but there have just been an incredible amount of breaking balls and fastballs left in places that are easy for a hitter to hit hard.

not sure I understand the approach the cards have taken to a lot of Cubs hitters. First pitch fastball away to Baez is about the only thing I don't throw him. 4 straight breaking balls to a lefty who dives out over the plate? Gotta bust rizzo in at least once per AB

 

Agreed but that was just an awful pitch. Cruz wanted that pitch way off the plate.

Good assessment. The Cubs offense is good enough where you have to be reasonably good on the mound, and they devour mistakes.
