Pure and simple Z has been pitching extremely well even if it's against some pretty bad teams. He had men on 1st and 3rd today with 0 outs and the heart of the Mets order up - classic situation where a pitcher can cave - he battled, gave up 1 run but came through much better than I expected. Maybe it is just that it doesn't matter as the cubs are out of the running but it did impress me that z still had heart and isn't mailing the remainder of the season/cubs career in.
