Brewers and Cardinals look to be getting hot.

 

Haha, what?

 

Haven't they won a couple in a row? The makings of a hot streak. They aren't great teams but they do get hot and cold like everyone else.

 

They've (the Cardinals) won 1 in a row. They have won 4 out of their last 6, but that followed a 5 game losing streak, and they've alternated winning and losing for the last 5 games.

 

The Brewers have won 2 in a row but lost 6 of their previous 7 before that.

Except for us presumably.

 

Heading into today Milwaukee had won 2 in a row, STL 1, Cubs 1.

 

Last 10: MIL: 4-6, STL: 4-6, CHC: 5-5

Last 20: MIL: 9-11, STL: 9-11, CHC: 9-11

We're playing some BAD baseball right now. This is ridiculous. We're 2nd to last in runs scored in the National League. The Padres have scored 12 runs less than we have. The offense is pathetic.

We could very well be 4.5 out by the end of tonight, right?

 

The division might not be great, but we are still sinking.

0 home runs, 4 walks, and 8 total runs in the first 4 games of the homestand. That's an average of 2 runs, 1 walk and 0 home runs per game. Not gonna win a ton like that. Overall, over the last 25 games, we've scored just 72 runs, an average of 2.88 runs per game. So for almost 1/6th of the season we've averaged less than 3 runs per game.

 

I also heard on the radio that the Cubs have scored 1 run or less in 10 of the last 25 games they've played. Unbelievable.

Another bizarre stat for the Cubs. Alfonso Soriano (our leadoff hitter), leads the team with just 28 RBIs. How bad is that? Well, take a look at how it compares to other teams RBI leaders:

 

(The first number is how many hitters have more than 28 RBIs, the second number is how many RBIs the leader has)

 

ARI - 2, 45

ATL - 3, 35

BAL - 4, 44

BOS - 4, 63

CHW - 3, 41

CIN - 3, 43

CLE - 4, 49

COL - 4, 47

DET - 3, 42

FLA - 5, 43

HOU - 3, 40

KAN - 2, 30

LAA - 4, 51

LAD - 5, 44

MIL - 4, 63

MIN - 5, 55

NYY - 5, 55

NYM - 2, 39

OAK - 3, 38

PHI - 6, 59

PIT - 3, 34

SDG - 2, 43

SFO - 3, 39

SEA - 3, 40

STL - 3, 58

TAM - 5, 59

TEX - 4, 46

TOR - 6, 47

WAS - 4, 46

 

Some interesting things pulled from that

- Every team has at least 2 guys with more RBIs than the Cubs best RBI guy

- The Phillies and Blue Jays each have 6 GUYS with more RBIs than the Cubs leader. The Jays actually have a 7th hitter, who is tied with Soriano with 28 RBIs. 7/9 hitters have as many or more RBIs than the Cubs best guy

- Every team but 3 in the league has at least one guy with 10 more RBIs than Soriano

- All in all, 107 different players have more RBIs than Soriano's 28. Unbelievable

 

Crazy stats...

OK, one more stat.

 

The Cubs lead Major League baseball in least runs allowed this season (ok tied with the Dodgers) with 249 RA. Unfortunately, they are 28th in baseball in runs scored with 254 (11 ahead of Seattle). 1st and 28th averages to around 14th, meaning the Cubs are about an average team...one game under .500 makes sense.
