As the 2020 Major League postseason gets underway, we here at Fully Krausened have enlisted a crack team of mathletes to run the numbers on the upcoming series between the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins. So with no further ado, here’s what they came up with: Last time the Marlins were in the postseason: 2003 […]
Today’s game between the Cubs and White Sox had completely different meanings for each team. The Cubs entered the day locked into the 3rd seed in the National League, having clinched the division crown the night before. The Sox could feasibly finish in first, second or be the wild card depending on their outcome combined […]
So, I didn’t watch any of the game last night due to a previous engagement. But, apparently, it went swimmingly. The Cubs reduced their magic number to 1 to win the division. The Cubs scored a bunch of runs by hitting some home runs (fucking finally). They also pitched really well. The White Sox didn’t. […]
Tonight the Chicago Cubs returned to PNC Park for the second of four games with the Pittsburgh Pirates needing either a win or a Phillies loss to get into the postseason, and begin living the bubble life in preparation for the playoffs. The Cubs were sending Jose Quintana, fresh from the injured list, with a […]
The Chicago Cubs traveled to Pittsburgh to begin a 4-game series against the Pirates tonight, and the Cubs sent Jon Lester to the mound against JT Brubaker. The Cubs have run a 5-1 record so far this year against the Bucs. How did things go? In what may very well have been the last regular […]
This was a very frustrating game to cap off a frustrating weekend. Yu Darvish was really good in innings 3-6. He gave up a couple runs in the 1st and 2nd, yet wrangled out of trouble in both innings. He was his ace self in the middle innings and ended his night by giving up […]
Tonight the Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins met in the second game of a three game series at Wrigley Field, with the Twins sending the massive Michael Pineda against Alec Mills, coming off his no-hitter last Sunday. How did it go? Well, for starters, Johnny Vandermeer can rest easy. Mills gave up a towering home […]
Tonight the Minnesota Twins came up to Wrigley Field to begin a three game series following their series on the South Side. As both the Twins and Cubs look to be playoff-bound, this series shapes up for both teams to get a handle of what they’re made of. The series began tonight with a pitching […]
Tonight the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians finished their season series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs sent Jon Lester to the hill, while the Tribe countered with Aaron Civale. How did it go? The Indians did everything in their power to giftwrap this game for the Cubs until Javier Baez hit a bases-loaded single in […]
A lot of shit happened in this game. Some of it pretty weird. In the end, the Cubs shaved a game off their magic number and got their 29th win of the year. The Cubs took a 5-3 lead into the top of the ninth. The Cubs scored the winning run on a pair of […]
