I still won't feel comfortable with any size lead.

After the game the Cubs lost when they took a 4-0 lead in the first inning? I wouldn't feel safe with 10 runs because the Cardinals are literally the loving Devil.

So far so good though. Nice to get into the bullpen so early in the first game of a series (though its less meaningful with expanded rosters, but still)

Thank goodness it's September and this modest run of bad play by the Cardinals likely just doesn't have the time to be a problem.

Russell! :swoon:

Edit: Also in all seriousness: props to Harren. Did not expect that single out of him, and he kept things rolling for Russell to do some damage.

God, to the deepest part of the park. Addison Russell showing so much power potential at 21 years old.

Love this team.

Bottom of the 2nd. There were no outs too, he just threw ball after ball to start the inning.

I watched it. It was great. The crowd chatter in the Indians TV feed was great, too.

6 innings and only 2 runs allowed? Against the Jays? I like this version of Rick Porcello
