Somebody in another thread said they thought Edwards could become a closer down the road...I can see that. He has closer stuff.
I can see why but he just doesn't seem to fit that closer type
Meaning he doesn't have that intimidating , I'm going to shut you down and you're going to like it look to him..lol

What's this thing called when the cubs score more than the other team? Gotta be something new and never before done.

Cubs Win! Time to rest and regroup. This all star break is going to be good for them. Big game to come back and get some momentum.

His stuff is nasty. I definitely think he could be a closer. I'd still like to see on more shot at starting though.

Holy shit! We won a baseball game. A one run game at that. And a save.

Today was a miracle.

Ok ..lets all exhale now

They survived the past month of crappy baseball and only lost 2 games off their lead and head into a much needed break after playing 25 days in a row with a comfortable 7 games lead..

Enjoy the AS break

Glad to end the 1st half on that note at least, it's nice to get a win.

Has he done enough to take the title of best 1B in NL over Goldy yet? Over the last couple years I've thought so, but maybe I'm biased.

Its pretty even I think, Goldy with a slow start to the season is now hitting around 300 like Rizz. Both are good fielders.

Thank God!! Literally the singer biggest W of the season. We needed that desperately.

The good: Edwards JR. He's going to be a key piece of the pen going forward. His stuff is really, really good.

KB: Gigantic clutch hit for the good ahead run.

Rizzo: Dominant, beastly game.

Rondon: Hit 99 on the gun. Enormous save.

The bad: Maddon, Zobrist, Baez.

I think it's about equal but Wil Myers is putting up the same kind of numbers this year.

That's kind of debatable. Myers is hitting .290/.355/.528 with 19 HRs. Rizzo is hitting .299/.416/.591 with 21. About the only offensive category Myers has him in is stolen bases.

I said Myers was right with the other 2 and actually is leading in WAR. It's very close.
