Do the Cubs have a legitimate #1 or even #2 starter on their team?

Kyle Hendricks is a good pitcher and maybe he's a #2 starter, but most of this rotation (Lester, Quintana, Darvish, Hamils) are pretty solid #3 or #4 type starters.


This second half version of Darvish is one of the 10 best pitchers in baseball so yeah.


He has had a very good 2nd half, but I would question him being a legit #1 or #2.

They have sustained it. Just not into another WS winner. This will be 4th or 5th straight winning season with multiple playoff appearances.



right.

any organization would love to have our last 5 years.

It is unbelievable that the Cardinals are 20 games over and the Cubs are 10.

What a 220 million dollar heap of underachievement.

It's a bummer that Addison wasn't a better player this year b/c this Hoerner kid would probably make trading him much, much easier from the Cubs' perspective.

Hell of a throw by Nico to put out Edman. Follows with a HR a few minutes later.

A very dramatic at-bat for Heyward. A couple high heaters with the second one causing him to drop his bat and take a long stroll towards the dugout and the whole debacle ending with him swinging at a ball that bounced into the catcher's mitt then breaking his bat over his knee. Should have broken it over his head.
