Reminds me of 1987, Dawson was obviously incredible with the MVP, had a couple other guys put up good offensive numbers, but outside of Sutcliffe, the pitching wasn't very good.
True but how confidence are you in not just cubs starters but bullpen to hold teams under 4-5 runs, cause its going to be tough for the cubs hitters to put up those runs against Phillies, Dodgers, Braves pitching, teams they may face in WC round
Homeruns allowed last 2 years
202 in 2025 Imanaga 31
208 in 2026 Imanaga 33
38 is cubs individual record set by Warren Hacker in 1955
235 HRs in 2021 is the team record
Kinda suks they have Lester and Davis induction ceremony and because the game is on NBC, we dont get to see it.
Marquee could of at least shown that as a pre game special
Patterson at least made it and actually had a couple good seasons before he got hurt, just never was able to find that groove again when he returned.
That 2020 draft was stupid, Howard for whatever reason never played up to what was expected of him, and now kids drafted after him in cubs system are passing him up
5 ip 5 runs isnt exactly what you want to be seeing from a SP that supposed to be 1 of your top 3 going into the playoffs, hopefully he bounces back his final 4-5 starts.
