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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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