Episode Notes

Anyone looking at the Cubs back in 2016 would have seen an absolute juggernaut: a team that excelled in hitting, pitching, and defense. So why didn't they become a dynasty? Using a brand new metric from stat guru Moshe Schorr, Pesach and Scott analyze the Cubs' greatness and subsequent decline. Plus: we promised no more talking about historic badness, but these Tigers stats are too entertaining to ignore (unless you're from Detroit, in which case we send you our heartfelt apologies).
