But then you know what you do.

To circle back, that's why I think that the series between the Braves and the Cubs is of more consequence.

Because at the end of the season, who has that tiebreaker between the Cubs and the Braves if we get to a point where they have the same record going into the postseason?

Yeah, I'm with that.

I'm interested to see how Ben Brown does because you're in that space.

We talked about this.

No, I wasn't with you.

Me and Grody talked about this after Matthew Boyd.

For his meniscus that, okay, Ben Brown was the likely guy to get the opportunity to fill his void in the rotation.

And so now seeing how much success he had in his role that the Cubs gave him,

Now that you change it again, like you have things working, you get into this rhythm and now you're thrown back into that starter seat.

I'm interested to see how he responds to it.

The Russ Dorsey game.

Yeah, I think what I've seen from the Cubs over the first six, seven weeks of the season show me that, okay, despite all the hits they've taken with injuries, and they've had a lot of them,

And you can make the case they've had as many as any team in baseball.

Now, the team that they're facing this week in the Atlanta Braves lost their entire rotation outside of Chris Sale before the season even started.

There you go.

And so it's one of those things where I look at them being able to sustain themselves.

Tread water, but not only tread water, but like thrive, you know, two really long winning streaks, being able to basically be unbeatable at Wrigley Field.

And now you're facing an opponent that you believe is well, I believe is going to be.
