cubs scored 9 or more runs in 25 of 156 games and went 23-2; the 2 losses came in the first week of the season (11-10 vs rangers on 3/31, 13-10 vs brewers on 4/5).

That's one of those stats that is designed to support the final point, but without any sort of context/comparison, is essentially worthless.

 

Edit: Let's try it out. Astros have scored 893 runs. 1/3 of that is 294.

 

In their top 23 scoring games, they scored 299 runs. Can you imagine how inconsistent their offense must be???

I’d assume we are near the top of clustering our runs in the smallest amount of games. But I would like to see where the teams ahead of us in RD fall with how spread out their runs are, just for general knowledge and see if it’s a few % points off or if we’re talking 10s of percentage points.

This is awful but I just convinced myself that since the Nationals have 8 games in 7 days, all against winning teams and the final 3 against another team desperately trying to fight for the playoffs too (Cleveland), and the Cubs have 3 against hapless Pittsburgh and 3 against possibly nothing to play for St. Louis that we still have a small shot at winning WC2.

 

Nats would have to go 1-7 or 2-6 while the Cubs go 5-1 or 6-0 but hey I'd give this a 9% chance of happening, which is what the Cubs playoff odds are according to Fangraphs.

 

Nats go 0-8, Cubs have to go 4-2 to win, 3-3 to tie

Nats go 1-7, Cubs have to go 5-1 to win, 4-2 to tie

Nats go 2-6, Cubs have to go 6-0 to win, 5-1 to tie

Nats go 3-5, Cubs have to go 6-0 to tie.

 

lol....

 

Update: The Nationals have started out 3-0, the Cubs 0-1. Whoops

Hey, this is just them paying tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Collapse of '69.

 

If so, they did a really poor job of it. Was there a time this season when you thought "This is our year"?

 

I was barely alive for 1969 but it sounds like it was a lot like 2003 which was much worse than this season.

finally - something intriguing about the 2019 cubs

 

If this is true, why would Zobrist come back to the team at the end of the year? Would be humiliating

A) The player involved was no longer on the team when he returned.

2) He needed the money.

#) He's into it.

Not shockingly at all, the baseless speculation in a Reddit thread about who banged Ben Zobrist's wife comes smothered with a heaping helping of not so subtle racism sauce.
