But the CUBS do so much better when Neifi starts at second !! :wink: Team record by starting second baseman CUBS are 7-4 when Walker starts at 2b CUBS are 1-3 when Hairston starts at 2b CUBS are 2-0 when Perez starts at 2b

Thank you those kind words !!

Wouldn't they actually be 3-6 after winning their previous game. I may be misinterpreting this stat but I think I'm right. Yes, .... and no. They're 2-4 after a single win. I gotta find a better way to word that. Anyhow.... it breaks down like this..... CUBS are 2-4 when they've won their last game CUBS are 1-1 when they've won their last 2 games CUBS are 0-1 when they've won their last 3 games .... so yes, it does sum to 3-6.

Am I the only one worried about this? Gotta develop some consistency! Get a win streak going. Don't overlook the ability to stop losing streaks from happening. Consistency is where you find it. CUBS are 5-1 when they've lost their last game
