Well, the second half is underway, and methinks the Chicago Cubs are doing okay for now…
#Cubs since All-Star break
* 6-0 record
* +27 run differential
* 16 Home Runs
* 2.00 starter ERA
* No first inning runs allowed— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) July 19, 2017
As we’ve talked about on the Dreamcast before, there was probably going to be an adjustment period for the young Cubs core, and for the historically great pitching and defense from last year’s World Series team. We just didn’t expect the Cubs to be this mediocre, and we always had confidence that they would be able to snap out of it before too late, especially with the NL Central being equally mediocre.
