  1. They scored 9 runs off of pirates scrub right handed pitchers so naturally they’re getting 1 hit by Peralta.
  2. I heard that at least a week ago. I’m assuming they’re already in the process of fixing it if that’s the case.
  3. 3/5 I’d be content with. 2/5 is the same blah we’ve been watching for a month, 1 or less and there’s some serious problems.
  4. The wind has been knocking horsefeathers down all day. The top of the order is still incapable of lifting the ball.
  5. Cubs aren’t streaky. They have 2 5 game winning streaks and 1 3 game losing streak as season highs. Their highs and lows don’t exactly jump out and while you’re correct that it’s not officially a free fall, if they win 2 or less over their next 6 you can consider applying that term. If the wild card race ever gets tight they’ll have a 4 game set with the Reds and a 3 game set with the Mets to put them away at the end of the season. If they can’t then I’d prefer that they back in but I won’t be devastated because of that 1 time the diamond backs made the World Series with 84 wins.
  6. If the cubs finish with 90 wins the Reds won’t catch them. That’s not what I mean by backing in exactly. If they continue to rot in a linear, progressive free fall like an old man in a nursing home then they’re relying on the destiny of other teams and I won’t shed a tear if the Reds or Mets pass them with 86-88 wins. 7 of their final 10 games are against both the Mets and Reds too. They’ll need a cushy lead anyways if they can’t put both teams away.
  7. The total lack of power from the offense is what’s killing them. They’re built to slug the runner on base, not manufacture runs.
  8. Better that they’re peaking now than September. We’ve seen this with the 2006 Twins, 2017 Indians, 01/02 Athletics and countless other teams. Of course this doesn’t bode well for the 5 game set this week.
  9. Speaking for myself, my hatred of Milwaukee has an edge over rationality. I can’t believe some people were 50/50 on this on Friday though. If the Cubs have to back in to the playoffs they don’t deserve to be seeded anyways.
  10. At the end of July the Cubs were number 1 in runs/game at 5.28/game. Cubs are now 5th in runs/game, scoring an average of 5/game on the dot. This has coincided with the soft portion of their schedule too while facing right handed scrubs they mashed early on.
  11. The last time either Boyd or Shota won a start was that 10-3 win on July 30th at Milwaukee. They’ve pitched so winnable winnable games too.
  12. Maybe I got bad information. Won’t make a horsefeathers of a difference anyways.
