    Texas had a potent offense scoring 881 runs and were streaky, capable of getting hot, plus a potent top of the order. We need Tucker to be our Seager and we’re hoping he’s even healthy enough to DH. The lack of middle of the order bats and star power is what’s been missing for years and still missing unless Tucker miraculously shows no rust.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    Correct. I answered the question before analyzing.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    Padres currently hold the tie breaker with a 29-20 interdivisional record and the Cubs at 27-22 with both finishing the season vs divisional opponents. Then it comes down to intraleague record where the Padres would have already clinched a better one.

    Because this particular team doesn’t have the leading NL MVP candidate in PCA, The mystery of Tucker, another MVP candidate who we’re hoping is at 80% health and Suzuki flatlining. We have 3 completely different players. The teams strength has become a weakness. Yes, this is a different team and any stabilization from those 3, mostly Suzuki and PCA, has been non existent, they hit a wall. I don’t believe This team doesn’t have the pitching to lockdown a playoff caliber offense and pick up the offense and vice versa. Anything can happen though. Even the Pirates could take win a best of 3 and the Cubs have much greater odds of doing that than the Pirates. But I’m not exactly riveted by them at this point and that’s just the wild card round.

    This isn’t a team, it’s 2 teams. This particular team doesn’t have 2 MVP candidates at the top of the order and Suzuki on pace for 40 homers like they had in the first half, they’re a 500 team that struggles to score and was able to win on the margins vs teams 10+ games over 500. This is who they are.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    The bullpen seemed too good to be true. ****** error by Swanson, this team can’t afford to make defensive mistakes but the Cubs scored 3 off of an error and a misplayed fly ball themselves. They’re no longer playing teams that are 10+ games under 500 and can’t get a single win.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Nice error Dansby.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    The Cubs Letting the Reds into the playoffs while knocking the Mets out of the wild card picture with a 3 game sweep would be nice payback for 2015.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    How long did it take you to dig that up?
  10. Geographyhater8888
    That’s what happens when 3 of your top sluggers in the first half are swapped with a pair of replacement level hitters and Kyle Tucker playing at 80% and missing games in the second half. This isn’t a playoff team, it’s a 500 team that inherited a 59-39 team in the first half. The reinforcements of Taillon and Horton have kept them afloat with their 3.75 runs/game average over their last 48 at 25-23 with a .an openings win % .481.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    It’s such a common score and I’m drawing a complete blank on this.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    When was the last time the bears won a game by a 31-14 score?
  13. Geographyhater8888
    There’s probably 50 final scores I’d predict before picking a 31-14 Bears win today.. Way to Wash off that Cubs stink.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    Finish this off.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    They’ve used picks 9, 10 and 39 on pass catchers in consecutive drafts. There’s zero reason to keep DJ around if you can get a 2 for him.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    DJ has no catches either. Lol
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Extremely slow. They had plenty of opportunities to draft a higher quality back than Monangai in the mid rounds but traded down 50 times.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Zaccheaus and DJ have more carries than Monangai. He must look terrible in practice.
  19. Geographyhater8888
    Who wins more games next month, Bears or Cubs?
  20. Geographyhater8888
    They really want to go back to Sandiego. It’s an awesome city, I don’t blame them.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Finally some explosive plays by the offense and Caleb. Even if it’s against Dallas’s ****** defense.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    We can only theorize why the cubs keep losing these simulations but I’d bet the pitching staffs susceptibility to giving up the long ball, including our primary guys on the playoff roster doesn’t matchup well vs the power hitting lineups like the dodgers and Phillies. Lowest pitching war of any playoff team and no true number 1 starter is my guess. Defensive war can’t prevent home runs. Maybe other reasons I’ve outlined or maybe nothing I’ve typed.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    Let’s hope it’s us. Fangraphs too, so I can use Nico’s bWAR to prove he’s better than Soto in an argument if the Cubs discredit them and their 3.4% World Series winning odds.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    That’s all true. I can point to the Cubs SOS over the last month to explain their solid record, and of course you can point to other teams losing series to bad teams and that’s a valid point. My issue here is the back of the players cards. The lack of star power gives me uncertainty over whether or not Suzuki and PCA will ever regain their pre all star break form or at least tread water like Busch, the status of Tucker and of course Boyd’s peripherals catching up to him. You could say this about the Brewers too, but in regards to some of the other teams there’s less question marks surrounding what their core players are capable of playing their best baseball. The great defense won’t prevent home runs which has been a huge issue for the pitching staff. Suzuki has to do a 180 quickly and we’ll need a healthy Tucker to get hot, which again is an unknown.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    Yes. Last years defensive line was bad but still had 40 sacks because the secondary was able to hold up long enough to give the d line time to get the quarterback. You can kiss that goodbye without Smith, Joshnon and Gordon who’s questionable every week.
