We had 2 tremendous pitching performances to win 2 games but you cannot make as many mistakes as we did vs a very good team and expect to win a series. Our major flaws (the back-end SP and worst OPS against lefties) were completely on display and then some of our key strengths (the pen and defense) capitulated as well.

Always dissapointing to lose at this stage but overall I'm pretty happy with the season, especially with all the injuries. Team showed a lot of resilience, Doc managed his tail off...certainly have some key building blocks in place. Congrats again to the Cubbies.
