clutch cubs! i think that is 5 walkoffs already this year

is that a lot? what are other teams at?

Five is the most. I'm not finding data for how many other teams have or a yearly count. I was able to pull up 2015 where the Cubs led the majors with 12 and three teams tied with 9 so having 5 at this point in the season is a lot.

hopefully nothing serious with bryant

the pitching staff seems to have run off the rails lately

hopefully they can get it turned around

Cubs add Kimbrel! Bullpen just got fixed!

so are we set for a playoff push now? any more pieces needed?

pitching staff seems to have worked themselves out of a brief rough patch. offense is still cooking. things are looking alright

I think we have what we need in place. Might be some tweaks at deadline but I don't see anything glaring or major changes needed.

been struggling lately. hendricks is out for a bit

dodgers series was close but we came up short most of the time. brewers are staying ahead of us

As soon as you complain about it they jump back ahead of the Brewers.

what do we know about the pitcher we called up and pitched yesterday? had a pretty good debut, seems like people are high on him

and he's someone we developed in our own farm system, so that's something!

KIMBREL!!!!

Shot in the arm for sure.

so we've been fairly sluggish for a while but it turns out the rest of the division has as well, so we're in the lead

hopefully we come out of it and no one else does, lot of meat left on the bone with this team

do we need to make any trade deadline moves?

anything cooking on the hot stove?

Don't like trading Montgomery, even on a down year, for a rental backup catcher who's going to have limited usage long term and no offense.

7 of 8 since All Star Break!

getting a little separation from the pirates and reds but can't shake the brewers and cardinals yet

how come our division is the one where everyone decided to try and win this year?

well i'll be in st. louis the next few days, i'll try and put a jinx on them while i'm there

Me and my big mouth.

we got anymore trades before the deadline? what do we need? bullpen?

Bullpen as always and true lead off hitter. Maybe Zobrist coming back can help but that's awhile out and we're spiraling.

i forgot about zobrist, is he for sure coming back at some point?
