Well there you have it. The Cubs are good.

You better bring some stats to back a claim like that up.

Counterpoint: the Cubs suck because they don't do everything right every time and remove all stress.

Another fun thing:
The Cubs magic number over the Cardinals is 27. They play each other the from September 12th through the 14th in St Louis.

IF, and this is a big if, the Cubs continue their "Last 30" pace of a .733 WP%, and the Cardinals perform slightly below their season WP% of .54, then the Cubs could potentially clinch the division by the last game of that series. That also assumes the Pirates don't surge and pass the Cardinals.
But if the Cubs are winning it doesn't matter what the Pirates do, they will at least remain the same distance apart.

The Cubs are 34 games above .500 now. It's looking like 98 wins will clinch home field advantage through the NLCS unless Washington does something insane.

Right now, assuming the Fighting Jepstinks win 50% of their remaining games: 98 - 64

After the next two games at San Diego, they play three @Dodgers before home series against Pittsburgh and SF (4 games).

It'd be nice if they could go 7-5 or thereabout over those games. That'd give them basically a full month where .500 ball gets them a 99-100 win season.

Would allow them to get healthy, rested, and set the rotation and evaluate/showcase some September call up guys.

I'd be fine with it. September should be pretty much completely stress free regardless and I'd love to see guys like Candelario get an extended chance to boost their trade value.

Seriously. Vin was saying he does whatever they ask, they put the bunt sign down and he does his job, but I'm pretty sure no one was telling him to bunt. I guess he just doesn't see Urias very well.
