Cubs won. Again. 4-2. They’re 13-3. Best record in MLB by a game and a half. I think. Math is hard, Darvish threw 7 innings of 1 hit, 1 run ball. 104 pitches. According to Statcast, Darvish threw 7 different pitches tonight. There is an average velocity but that might be the most meaningless stat […]

The Cubs Starters Are the Best In the NL…and They Have a Best Friend
