And you just want to continue that if you're the Cubs.
And so you're going to find ways to do that throughout the season.
But if the stuff is going to look like that, you're you're in for a great ride this summer.
Yeah, it's... One...
Being at the ballpark yesterday, that's what it's about, right?
A beautiful 78 degrees at first pitch.
Sun's out.
You got the grilled onion smell and you're like, oh, this is summer in Chicago.
But when that game starts and you see the type of that first fastball coming at Edward Cabrera's hands and you're seeing 98, 99 on the gun, you're like, OK, like, let's buckle up for it.
And against a lineup that was swinging the bat well coming into this series, he showed that, okay, I'm not worried.
I know what you're talking about with the ball-to-strike ratio.
Yeah, it wasn't 75% of strikes.
But he found a way to...
Get guys out without walking the yard, right?
Usually if you told somebody that was the ball-to-strike ratio, you'd say, oh, he must have walked like four or five.
No, only walk one guy.
Retired 17 of 19 that he faced, and that base runner was eliminated on a double play ball.
So was able to get guys out.
And I'm excited to see what that type of arm does against โ
teams like the Dodgers and the Mets and the Phillies, the teams that you think the Cubs are going to have to deal with to be at the top of the National League.
