[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1663192, member: 26283"] The Cubs' pitching staff has been horrible for the last two months of the season. through July 31: 4.17 ERA - 4.60 starters, 3.61 relievers since Aug 1: 6.54 ERA - 7.05 starters, 6.00 relievers The ERA through July was right at League average and it's been the worst in baseball since. The reliever drop off is to be expected since they traded away all their good relievers. No real explanation for why the starters dropped off so incredibly. They've just all been horrible and they've spoiled something of an exciting offensive team over the last two months where both Schwindel and Happ have been posting MVP-level numbers. The offense has actually been much better since the trade deadline - .227/.307/.397 before and .252/.318/.427 after. That .745 OPS since July is well above the League average of .724 and would be good for 6th place in the League if held over the whole season. [/QUOTE]
