Cubs crush Braves

Well the Cubs kept up the offensive barrage pounding the Braves 15-6.

Estes looked horrible but what is new? He has 10 starts this year where he has given up 5 runs or more. His curveball is slow and has no velocity and worse yet he has no control over its location. One minute its high high high then hangs over the plate or gets buried into homeplate making Miller jump all over the place to try and block it.

At this point Estes looks washed up. He was washed up before he was a Cub. His ERA is now 6.00. Lefties are hitting .301 off him and righties are hitting .313. He is fooling no one. You telling me someone down on the farm cant do better? Estes will not get any better as the season goes on, and if Hendry is truely committed to a winning team Estes, Harris, and Alfonseca should be gone before Aug 1st rolls around. For god sakes eat the money your paying these bums and inject some youthfull energy into this ballclub for the stretch run.

Anyways about tonight........Goodwin should get the MVP since the Patterson injury. He truely is playing above his head. How long will it last? Who knows. As long as he keeps legging out INF singles with his speed and hustle on the basepaths to get us runs, we will take it. He was 5-6 tonight with 4 runs scored.
