    What's left for PCA with 3 games to go | Bleed Cubbie Blue (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    He's currently at 9.9 bWAR (4th best all time single season Cub mark). 10.2 would get him tied for 3rd with Ernie's MVP 1959 season. He's also currently at 10.7 fWAR (2nd best in Cub history). He trails only Hornsby's club record of 11.0 in 1929. 10.7 is also the best Willie Mays (1965) ever had in a single season. In addition, he's at 26 OAA (tied for MLB best in a single season since Statcast started this in 2016, which was Byron Buxton in 2017). Finally, PCA is also at 42.35 for power-speed (

    fWAR now at 10.4. Mike Trout never had a single season fWAR as good as that. The best that Willie Mays ever had was 10.7 in 1965. It is a bit far fetched, but with 9 games to go PCA has at least a chance (albeit not a great one) of matching the all-time greatest single season fWAR in Cub history, Rogers Hornsby's 11.0 in 1929. PCA's Power-Speed number is now at 40.2, which is the 13th best single season mark in MLB history. He will be in 7th place once he hits 40.99 and it's not totally impossib

    Very lackluster offensive homestand so far for him, but defensively he is now at 26 OAA, which ties the Statcast single season record set by Byron Buxton in 2017. PCA is also now tied for 6th in career OAA for outfielders (since 2016) with 64. Harrison Bader is in 2nd with 77, so PCA should easily displace him next year, even if there is a lockout for a spell. Kevin Kiermaier currently holds the record at 91 at 2118 innings (PCA has 64 in 120 innings).

    The Cubs' team OPS in August | Bleed Cubbie Blue (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    An off the charts, ridiculous .863. I was ruminating on this in H&G and figured I would try to find out the last time they had a monthly OPS that good. Well, I found it. August 1930, OPS of .882. Of course, they had a team OPS of .852 for that entire year, including a .921 OPS in June and .878 OPS in May. That was the Hack Wilson year. And then one more time in July 1929 (.896), where again the season OPS was .825. These were also the years where Hornsby set team records in all kinds of categori

    Gold Glove update | Bleed Cubbie Blue (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SABR just published its updated standings through August 9th. These stats account for 25% of the Gold Glove points (the remainder come through managers and coaches who cannot vote for their own players). PCA has slightly widened his lead over Pages in CF, but it is still close. Those two players still have the two highest scores in MLB at 13.4 and 12.0. Swanson has a 8.3 to 7.2 lead over Perdomo, and Happ has a 4.6 to 3.3 lead over Lile in RF. Suzuki, as has been discussed, is having a great yea
