i don't know, probably because we have plenty enough talent to do what ny/bos/hou is doing, so our steady 90-95 win pace and see-saw battle with the brewers feels pretty lifeless but yeah, this team is boring as a horsefeathers a lot. definitely more than they should be. it's okay to say that. The sequencing may be annoying but I’d bet all 3 of those AL teams finish in the mid 90s range like we are on pace for. okay i'm not going to get into an argument about the cubs being good (i said is that they're boring, and they are boring a lot), but those teams are projected by fangraphs to win like 10 more games than the cubs right now. you can't just play the sequencing thing ahead of time like that.
