It’s been two years since I’ve posted an article like this, since we didn’t have a “midseason” in last year’s abbreviated 60-game pandemic MLB schedule.
You know, a month ago these grades likely would have been a lot different. But since the Cubs reached their high point of the season, 11 games over .500 on June 13 (38-27), they have gone 6-19.
That’s... awful.
And so are a lot of these grades. Hopefully, the Cubs can perform a successful “reboot” and next year’s model will be better.
With that, on to the 2021 midseason grades.
