This year....I've watched highlights of all 65 games....watching four entire games (streaming).
This is not a normal year, or a normal team.....it's some fantasy group of characters like a DC-Marvel 'team'.
Presently at 41-24? At the current pace, yeah....they will easily pass 100 wins (probably around game 140). Yeah, it's possible they might even pass the 120 win threshold. If you were wondering....the record was the 1906 Cubs....116 wins in a season.
So....what are the odd five factors?
First, if you ask about a 'ace'.....they have only one. They have six starters....who can hold earned-runs to a minimum. Sale at the end of season? Likely to be near 25 wins.
Behind Sale? Elder, Holmes, Strider, and Perez. The four are likely to have 15-plus wins each.
If you knocked out any of these five early? They've got five guys ready to go and save the game.
Second, Olsen will have a 100-RBI season, but they've got five additional players who are likely to produce 80-plus RBIs.
Third, Jurickson Profar was worthless for 2025....disqualified for drugs for 2026, and questionable for 2027. Hasn't affected the team whatsoever.
Fourth....there's probably ten players who've been injured for 2026 so far....yet the team has not suffered.
Fifth and final....there's probably 10 players on the bench who could step up...start....and deliver.
Yeah, they might be better than even the 1927 Yankees (I'll say it).
