  1. Also the Cubs have the best interleague record in baseball. Even better than the AL teams who spent their interleague time playing all those NL teams, with their hitters that have polio and their pitchers who throw the ball the wrong direction.
  2. I kinda want Mexico to put up a couple goals here and give Canada a puncher's chance at the hex
  3. Having Klejstan, Nagbe, and Morris in case of injury/ineffectiveness is pretty nice too. Kinda funny how quickly defensive mid went from the one spot where we had real good depth to the biggest question mark. When you refuse in all situations to look at more than 2 guys for that role it gets tough, especially when those two have a combined age of like 70 You know it's bad when Klinsmann won't even give the German dual national a look.

  5. Pulisic is very good.
  6. [tweet] [/tweet] Pulisic and Klejstan in the 11. [tweet] [/tweet] I guess that means Birnbaum at right back? Or maybe Cameron?
  7. Which means everyone's favorite pastime, La Stella at 3rd base.
  8. If anyone like me was curious, here are the teams that were at least 5 games better than the rest of MLB in the Wild Card era, and how they did in the playoffs. The Cubs are currently 7.5 games better than the next best team. 2011: Phillies +5, Lost LDS 2009: Yankees +6, Won WS 2001: Mariners +14, Lost LDS 1999: Yankees +8, Won WS 1995: Indians +10, Lost WS Also worth noting that no team has been more than 2 games better than the rest of MLB in the two wild card era.
  9. If I can be needlessly contrarian, I'll say Ryan Williams is our best pitching prospect, as long as his mystery injury is an actual injury and he wasn't kidnapped by the cartel or something. De la Cruz is a better prospect than Cease though.
  10. Hendricks leads MLB in ERA by nearly half a run, the gap between him and 2nd in the NL is the same as the gap between 2nd and 9th.
  11. Sorry, but as the URL clearly says, that is the last word on baseball. Maybe next time.
  12. The Cardinals winning percentage extrapolates to 82.5 wins over 156 games, so you can count those as forfeits and technically the Cubs are a rounding error ahead.
  13. That's a fun game to play, if the Cubs just stopped playing right now how many teams would pass them in win count. Using current winning percentages the current answer is 8, although 2 teams are right on the threshold of falling off(Detroit and Baltimore). NL only the answer is 2.
  14. every high leverage Heyward hit has a max exit velocity of 45 mph
  15. His previous hit was to right center I believe
  16. Nunez trying to steal 3rd on Contreras while a lefty is at the plate seems like a stupidly risky decision
  17. he's reaching the point where he's increasing the difficulty just to not be bored by a mundane tag
  18. It was so obvious Zobrist threw up his hands in exasperation from 2nd base
  19. Bochy still has 7 relievers left after this change, he can almost literally do this forever.
