Any other E club teams I need to add?

Eliminated from division: Royals, A's, Mets, Nats, Rockies

Eliminated from WC: White Sox, Royals, A's

I think Colorado is mathematically still alive with an elimination number of 3 in the WC, but I don't think that takes matchups for the rest of the season into account.

Aren't the Padres also like 0-11 in extra innings games?

Gonna attribute the Cubs' sweep as what finally killed the Giants.

The Brewers are 100% going to knock the Cubs out. Either in the last 3 games or in the postseason.

Sorry, Padres. Cubs will be joining you soon.

Our run differentials were pretty awesome though.

:rip: Cubs

Above .500 was what I was hoping for and that's what I got. Their run differential was much better than I expected, so there's a lot of hope for next season provided they do two things:

  • 1. Get some reliable bullpen arms
  • 2. Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger Sign Bellinger

It'll be nice for the young guys to get an entire season under their belts next year. I hope PCA, Canario, and Mervis all make the opening day roster. Jordan Wicks seems very promising. Heyward will finally be off the books, but the Cubs will still owe Tucker Barnhart and Trey Mancini over $10 million next year. :doh:

You cannot make the argument that this offense will be fine without Belli. He led the team in HR, BA, RBI, SLG, and OPS. He was 2nd on the team in hits, runs, and SB. He is 100% necessary to keep this offense going.

as a devoted fan of lovely baseball I’m honestly devastated that the 2023 Oakland Athletics, who we all had such high hopes for, ultimately proved inadequate to the task of blowing rear end at a truly historic level

The Cleveland Spiders were really, REALLY bad. The 2023 A's didn't even get halfway to their negative run differential.

RIP to the Cubs, although I am glad that Cody won't have an opportunity to punish the Dodgers in the playoffs. Look at the brightside, Cubs fans, now you have 13 weeks of Bears football to look forward to.

Rocky Wirtz is dead, no one is left from the 2010 team, and Bedard looks really good. Blackhawks baby hail satan

As cool as being in Wrigley for the the Velazquez grand slam was, there was absolutely zero room for another outfielder on the roster. Better that he's playing in the majors somewhere. Otherwise, he'd be rotting in Iowa forever.

mcmagic is correct that an 84-win negative run differential team should not ever be in position to play in a world series, but the time for that particular objection was at the end of september

The Cubs went 1-6 against the DBacks in September so it's kinda hard to argue that they deserved it more because they had a much better run differential.
