He benched him for eight innings.

You was able to get him in the cage and throw off his routine a little bit, start fresh.

And he came in and he snapped the over 30 skid.

So I think that's a really good characteristic of of Craig Council.

He doesn't really beat around the bush.

He's pretty blunt.

He says what he feels.

He says what he thinks.

And he made it very clear over 30 is over 30.

So Michael Bush said he came in, pinch hit RBI single and the Cubs come back and win the game.

Yeah, it's a crucial stretch.

I mean, you have 16 games where I'm not going to say can make or break a season, but you're one game under .500.

And then you go, as you said, to Philadelphia, back home against the Mets, home against the Phillies, to the Dodgers, to the Padres.

So you're looking at May 1st.

If you're five games under .500, that's difficult.

It's difficult to match that 20-25 team that was 22 games over .500, which means you're 1-0.

20% through the season, you're five under.

That means you have to play 27 games over 500 the next 130, 125 games.

So the math kind of figures out that way.

I think yesterday's win was crucial.
