If I'm being honest, I'm not worried about Lester at all. I hate that he gets called the "ace" all the time by the media and anyone calling the game, because that honor is 100% Jake Arrieta's. But I think Lester gets it. He seems like a dude that knows he's not throwing well; even still, he's kept the Cubs relatively close.

This wasn't an easy series for the Cubs. The Padres are a vastly improved team and they threw their three best arms against a very young, learning lineup.

Great fact from the game yesterday: the Cubs see the most pitches per AB in MLB. A lot to like there...that kind of patience will translate.

ETA: Mendy really needs to go to Iowa.

Me either, and no one else should. He had a set back with his dead arm and he's just catching up.

I looked at this series as two teams that could be competing for the same final wildcard spot. Would've been nice to go 2 for 3. So I'm a little bummed about it.
