1.88 ERA, close to Greinke's 1.65 ERA now, two more shutouts while Greinke allows say 2 runs each may close it (haven't done the math tbh)

He is funny at times but he also makes bullshit assumptions about people's lives based on scraps of information.

He thinks italianbeef is a rapist
He thinks Guapo is in a mental hospital
He thinks I'm 15 years old

Not to mention he thinks 3-time Stanley Cup Champion and 2-time Olympic Gold Meal Winner Toews is a terrible captain.

3/3 is a good batting average.

You gotta admit...that's pretty funny.

He's an idiot, an instigator and has never been remotely funny.

 

[Jntg4]

MLB.com said he'd be the first Cub with an ERA under 2.00 since Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1920.

Agreed... tribar is being unfair, again.

Greinke would have to win 20 to take it away from Jake now. Both are below 2.00 ERA. You could even say that Jake's 3 shut outs, 1 being a no hitter to 0 for Greinke cancels out the ERA difference. So at that point it comes down to wins and strike outs and Jake has him on both.

Greinke wins it it is a bias vote based off of first half stats.

They may go in the "what have you done for me lately" category. Jake has the hot name right now. Really hot.

This may be decided by what happens in the playoffs. If Jake finishes off the year the right way, (especially beating the Pirates Sunday), and happens to knock them off in the playoffs, I don't see how he could lose unless Greinke takes the Dodgers really deep into the playoffs. Like the WS.

Not taking anything away from Greinke (or Kershaw for that matter), but balls don't generally carry too well in Dodger Stadium at night. I also know that over and under numbers are usually a full point below what Wrigley is in Vegas. That does not even include when the wind is blowing out.

That said. This is going to be an amazing race.

Good lord. Take Arrieta off this team and think where we would be.

The FO is going to really thrust the pedal and get the desired pitching in here in the off-season IMO, and I am sure that Rickett's isn't going to mind a bit at what they do. They all know how close the Cubs are to being a dominant team, and quite possibly, the best in baseball.

To close it would be more like 10 runs for Grienke with two shutouts for Jake.

Grienke wins it for consistency and his massive scoreless streak as well as his era being nearly a third of a run better. Kershaw is right there with Jake as well. It's still Grienke's to lose.

Boobaby1, I'm sure you just forgot which is cool, but all votes are done prior to playoffs. Votes are coming in now for the awards.
