Being up 6-0, Counsell probably figured save him for tomorrow and maybe a closer game. Brasier has done a nice job and throws strikes.
I posted that up 4-0. After adding 2 more would have been fine with another inning of Keller but was a good spot tonget Braiser work too.

I know everyone wants Suarez but I wouldn’t mind seeing a second righty with pop that could DH and take half of Happ’s ABs allowing Suzuki to play half left half DH. That would be a lineup that could upgrade our weak record v lefties.

We've only swept 4 series all year (A's, White Sox, Rockies, and Guardians) so I doubt it happens. I'm not counting the 2-game sweep of the Dodgers.
That’s probably the most impressive part of the cubs being 20 above .500. They haven’t even really gone on a tear yet just 3+ months of really solid ball

I think after we add a starter and can throw four shutdown guys in a row ( I’m including Rea ) we will start getting more sweeps
