  1. The Cubs this year have 3 4-game series sweeps. The 2014 Cubs had a total of 3 winning streaks that went 4 games.
  2. The next 22 games for the Giants: vs HOU, vs WAS, @ STL, @PIT, vs CHC, vs STL, @LAD
  3. Giants game thread at SBNation wants to see if Peavy can throw 300+ pitches this game since the pen is gassed anyway and it doesn't matter.
  4. Remember when the Padres wouldn't trade with the Cubs because AJ Preller thought they were still in the playoff race? Well now the Padres are further from a playoff spot than any AL team.
  5. At this point, I'm curious which is more likely, that the Cubs win the 1st wildcard, or that the White Sox finish with the worst record in the AL.
  6. Once again, there are just 3 teams in MLB with fewer losses than the Cubs.
  7. NL Standings since the trade deadline: Tm W L W-L% GB RS RA pythW-L% NYM 7 0 1.000 -- 39 16 .836 CHC 6 1 .857 1.0 34 20 .725 STL 5 2 .714 2.0 27 14 .769 LAD 5 2 .714 2.0 33 29 .559 PIT 4 2 .667 2.5 23 22 .520 PHI 4 3 .571 3.0 44 30 .668 ARI 4 4 .500 3.5 35 38 .462 ATL 4 4 .500 3.5 39 56 .340 COL 3 4 .429 4.0 31 39 .396 MIL 3 5 .375 4.5 33 38 .436 SDP 3 5 .375 4.5 38 42 .454 SFG 3 5 .375 4.5 42 40 .522 CIN 2 5 .286 5.0 14 22 .304 WSN 2 6 .250 5.5 30 39 .382 MIA 1 7 .125 6.5 30 55 .248
  8. His grandmother passed away. Szczur is back up as a result.
  9. Also of note, since they got no-hit by Cole Hamels, the Cubs have scored at least 3 runs in 11 of 12 games. In those games, they are 9-2.
  10. The Cubs are 50-20 this year when they score at least 3 runs.
  11. Mike Trout turns 24 today. He already has more career WAR than Derrek Lee.
  12. Wasn't Castro hitting like .300 the past 7 or so games? Yes, and Fowler in general has been great since the ASB.
  13. The most unbalanced teams in the league, aka lol Phillies:
  14. Russell comes through, Jungmann now at 112 pitches with 2 outs in the 6th.
  15. It'd be fantastic for the offense if Starlin Castro could go back to being a little more like Starlin Castro.
  16. Because they aren't right down the middle?
  17. The mentality I don't get is the view that the Cubs must not be trying to win if they don't go all in right now. The biggest impact the team can make right now is another starter, but beyond that where should they upgrade? SS can be dealt with internally and every other position has either a rookie option that's doing just fine and stands to improve or has Dexter Fowler who is doing well enough for now.
  18. Does that mean the White Sox are Sellers?
  19. Fantastic article from SI on the origins of MLS, 20 years later: http://www.si.com/longform/2015/mls/index.html?noroute=true
  20. The Tulo deal reminds me a lot of the Nomar deal for the Cubs in 2004.
  21. During the game, imo. If Hamels is cruising through 5 innings, get something done quick and pull him from the game.
  22. Canada also attempts the sac bunt leadoff strategy and fails for a strikeout.
