I need to see some frustrating numbers after a game like that. So let’s go to the two I’ve quoted most often. The Cubs are 15-29 since the end of the A’s series. Without bothering to do any math, I can eyeball that as more than a month and a half of baseball winning just over a third of their games. Right here, right now, there are five teams with a worse record than the Cubs. But at the rate they are winning games, they will absolutely “catch” two more of them. The Royals and A’s appear to be so putrid that the Cubs are safe from reaching the bottom.
