In the process of writing this, I wound up watching a lot of clips from Cubs wins at Wrigley and now I fear that Go Cubs Go will be stuck in my head until the end of time. Anyway, someone should try turning the Reds off and back on again because I think they might be glitching.

Yup, found a bit of a coincidence here No player has a worse contact quantity/quality tradeoff than Leo Rivas, who just so happens to have the lowest swing rate in baseball. Link to BP:

Nice to see Kirby and Woo look great on back-to-back games against that lineup. I'm intrigued by this new version of Kirby, even without the Ks, and I gotta think Woo's strikeouts will return, as they did today.
