Is Fangraphs causing false panic? No. Will the Cubs play a lot better? Hopefully. Is there some justified pressure on this team and playoff uncertainty. Yes.
Right, but the Cubs were never a great team to start the year and without Horton and possibly other starters they don’t have nearly the roster to withstand stretches like this. That’s why they currently have a 38% chance to make the playoffs according to Fangraphs.
Lol, my guy. The Dodgers were 29-19 on May 19th last year, were in first place, and had a significantly better roster than the Cubs currently have. That’s just a terrible example.
