Decades from now, we’ll still look back at the 2019 season as one of the most miserable and puzzling in Cubs history. If we define the 2004 season by its implosion, then this campaign should be defined by a exponentially stronger nuclear reaction.
I honestly don’t know how the Cubs have scored this many runs while winning so few games.
This weird squad has a +111 run differential, which is nine runs better than the first-place St. Louis Cardinals and 113 runs better than the second place Brewers. Can we just pause and recognize how insane it is that the Cubs have outpaced the Brewers by triple-digit runs?
