But there's a lot of baseball being played, and a lot of cool guys doing the playing, and one of those guys is Pete Crow-Armstrong, who in an Ohtani-less universe is the best player in baseball. Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs beat the crap out of the Pirates last ...
It came up in the comments yesterday as to why there is so much talk around a 17-game stretch like this. Every team has at least one and often a couple of these every year. This one grew to 17 when the Toronto game in Chicago in June got rained out and had to be […]

So after Friday night’s tightly-fought Cubs win over the Pirates, we were discussing where the offense might have disappeared to, as the team scored just three runs, two of them in the 10th inning with the help of the placed runner. Well. That problem went away Saturday, as the Cubs pounded out 16 hits — […]

What […]
