What's our record since June 1st?

[erik316wttn]

Anyone know what our record is since June 1st, and how it compares to the other teams?

 

If we're not the best team in baseball over that stretch I'll be very suprised.

I recently saw numbers on SportCenter or something like that and I believe the Cubs were 1st or 2nd since June 3rd.

 

and just yesterday the Cubs game had NL Central standings since June 3rd and the Cubs were in first over the Brewers by 4 games.

If you start counting after the games played on June 1st, you're correct. But if he meant since the beginning of June, then we need to add a loss. The Cubs were 17-11 in June and are 12-4 so far in July for a 29-15 record.

 

Since June 3, the day after the one and only Piniella blow up so far this season and the first day of his suspension, the Cubs have posted a 29-13 record. That's a .690 winning percentage. Over their last 24 games (since June 22nd), the Cubs have gone 19-5. That's a .792 winning percentage. That's sick. Certainly unsustainable. Though the Cubs did finish June going 7-1 and in their first 8 post-all-star-break games have also gone 7-1, so who's to say what's unsustainable. :wink:

 

To answer your question, before games started June 1st, the Cubs were 22-29. They have since gone 29-15 (.659). Seattle has gone 28-15(.651). Detroit is 27-14 (.6585). The Yankees are 26-17 (.605). And just for fun, the White Sox have gone 19-27 (.413). So no team has been hotter since June 1st by a half of a percentage point over Detroit.

 

After losing the first two games in June, sending Piniella ballistic and completing a season high 6-game losing streak, the Cubs were in 5th place and 9 games under at 22-31. Decidedly the season's low point. They are now in 2nd place, 2 1/2 games out of first and 7 games over .500.

 

This reinforces the notion that stats don't always tell you where you are going only where you been, and that baseball is a crazy game that's hard to accurately predict. Sometimes it's best to just sit back and see what unfolds.

 

Here come the Cubs.
