No. And they've only played 15 times ever. Pretty interesting.

Oh for fuck's sake. Christ. Well he's lucky that they caught it when they did. Kick it's ass John.

At the beginning of this season, I set this thread up thinking the Cubs got Joe Maddon, and the Savior himself Kris Bryant (Even though I think Duffy is more deserving of ROTY) coming up and little did I know how good they would really be. This question of winning the world series is actually still in play, with a few months left of the season.

Duffy and Bryant are pretty much neck and neck, statistically speaking, with Duffy at a 123 OPS+ and Bryant at 124 OPS+, in roughly the same number of games. Bryant has the Cubs narrative around him, though, which will go a long way with the BBWAA.

I think when all is said and done, it will be a three player race with Duffy, Bryant, and Kang from the Pirates. Bryant does have more narrative, but I really do hope they don't overlook the other two and their contributions this season. It will be a pretty close and entertaining race down the stretch.

^The strongest argument for Duffy might be what he's done compared with the man he replaced. One of the biggest questions facing the Giants entering this season was whether they'd be able to replace Pablo Sandoval's bat, and Duffy's managed to do that (and perhaps more, as he's more consistent than Pablo ever was).

I was at Friday's game and the atmosphere was electric, something we have missed in Toronto for a long time.
Whether we can avoid the sweep will rest on which Drew Hutchinson shows up tomorrow.

Severino's got some promise, I just hope he can last at least six or seven innings.

Just got back from the Giants game and I got a gift last Christmas of being able to go to a lot of Giants games this year and I was worried that I would go to these games and still miss out of a Madison Bumgarner start. Well, when I found out that he was pitching today, I got excited and being out there in the heat (And it was hot in San Francisco today) I couldn't help but just marvel at what this guy does. He goes out, the outing after he pitched a complete game, and tosses 15 strikeouts, gives up 3 hits, and goes 2-3 at the plate, being one of the pitchers were the DH is a great idea in the National League argument does not apply. It's just so fun watching that dude pitch and when he's on, it's just something you sit back and just enjoy. I don't know if he's going to win NL Cy Young this year, but the last few starts, he's had Cy Young stuff. Also, today was Juan Marichel day at the ball park, and Madbum's performance would make the Dominican Dandy proud.

That's great to hear. I know he also had good things to say about Cubs catching prospect Willson Contreras when he was on his rehab assignment, too.
