Not to split hairs and not that it means anything at this point but w/RISP according to the box scores they were 13-77 in last 8 regular season games and 10-76 in last 6 regular season games and 2 playoff games. It didn't seem right that they were 2-66 bad. Still sucks.

The Cubs have played 23 playoff games since 2017. In those games they scored 3,3,2,0,9,2,1,1,3,1,1,1,0,3,0,3,3,3,4,6,1,0, and 1 run. That's 51 runs over 23 games for an average of 2.2. In 11 out of the 23 they were either shutout or scored 1 run. If you take out the 9 and 6 run games that's 36 runs over the other 21 games for an average of 1.7. Are these the vagaries of chance or an organizational flaw?

Some of that is because they’ve barely eked into the playoffs in many of those years and had to face better teams that had their starting pitchers lined up and high leverage relievers rested.

Any chance the Cubs seriously pursue Skubal in free agency, or am I being silly?

It's hard to tell. Sometimes they let Schwarber go for nothing, sometimes they only get a draft pick for Contreras, sometimes they go out and sign Alex Bregman.
