Cubs are playing/executing extremely well no doubt....but this isn't a very good team. Of course by the looks of things you don't have to be very good to win the NL Central. Let's stop ragging on the Central. 4 teams .500 or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we should do is take those same guys and call up Nationals and say surely you agree these players are worth it for Scherzer, right? I'd love to hear Nats GM response.

Here's my issue though. If the move to dump Darvish was to get prospects because the team wanted to go rebuild mode....but to trade those very prospects and better one's to get a pitcher to cover up your mistake?? That just isn't sound thinking. It's like selling something and realize your mistake only to pay 25% more to get it back. It's like one of those payday loan places. Haha.

5fouls Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Stat of the day. Nick Castellanos and Jesse Winker have the top two batting averages in all of MLB, and neither has benefitted from hitting against the Reds bullpen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs make the World Series my brain will implode on 2 levels. First I'll obviously be ecstatic....but on the flip side I'll say where in the world was this the past 3 seasons. Haha.

The Cubs starters as a whole don't have a single pitcher with an ERA under 4...without our bullpen, we're battling with the Pirates to stay out of last place...only Hendricks and Alzolay average over 5 innings per start...
