Cade with another great outing. Cubs are I believe a season high 23 games over .500, and 4th best record in baseball. Can they win a round or two in the playoffs?

Cade is the best pitcher in baseball since the ASG. Looking like a real ace.

PCA finally waking up again.

MoBaller can flat out hit. So fun to watch him give us some much needed help.

The vets have come through… Happ, Dansby, and Horner. All are pro’s pros.

If we get Tucker back and we get hot we could make a run for the series.

Cubs pitching staff has the second lowest WHIP in all of baseball. They're #8 in ERA and have issued the fewest walks by a mile.

Their offense is still top 8-10 in most categories. One major improvement is that they've struck out something like the 5th fewest times.

I know some of those stats would look a lot different if you just looked at the second half, but still, it's pretty fair to say Cubs are one of the best 8 teams in baseball statistically, and of course in terms of the record they're top 4.

IMO, Cade locked up the NL Roy.

Shaw with a bomb!

Crazy how many Cubs have hit 20+ HRs this season
- Happ
- Dansby
- Tucker
- PCA
- Suzuki
- Kelley (17)
- Busch

Shaw will hit 20 next season with a full season.
Wonder if Amaya could hit 20 in a platoon?
