Chicago Cubs 2026

[champaignchris]

PCA became the 10th player in MLB history to go 30/30 in consecutive years.

Looking forward to next year, the entire list of players who went 30/30 in three consecutive years is:

Barry Bonds.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

PCA is next level. If you're the Sox, why in the world wouldn't you put him on 1st???? Is there literally one good reason?

The young pitcher for the Sox had something like 6 walks in the 3 games (4.2 innings) he has pitched.

That makes sense. If you put him on, the pressure is there to throw strikes and that can snowball.

I imagine that Venable was thinking get PCA(left on left), walk Seiya and set up the DP, then face Busch(left on left).

I suppose neither choice was a good one.

I wouldn’t call that a must win, but that was a must win.

What a great win! This offense continues to pound away. Such a deep lineup. Lets hope Pedro can continue his magic for the next month. That Dansby injury was a buzzkill coupled with the rubber match loss to the Cards.

Since July 1 we have the leading RBI man in the game in Seiya and the leading run scoring man in PCA. Seiya slashing ,293/.385/.561 and PCA with a smooth .318/.421/.686, this has been the best combo in baseball for the last 2 1/2 months and it is not even close. So many baserunners for the cubs leading the league in walks, just wears out the league over the course of a year.

Pitching still is a worry for me, but it is deeper then before and we have to sort out the bully. Its time for Cabrera to becoming a weapon in the pen along with Brown.
