Cubs facts.

Fielding as a team the Cubs rank #2 overall in baseball.

Batting average #14.
OBP #22.
RBI #14.
Runs #17
BB #23

But we are #5 in HR's! Yeee haaa!

So at what point does defense not matter anymore when your team cant score runs?

In fielding the Yankees are #19, WhiteSox #20, Cincy #21, Minn #25, Boston #26.

Yes its nice to have defense when you can get it but if you have defense and no offense its not helping you one single bit.

You need hitting to win, you dont need great fielding to win.

What has helped Detroit the most this year? Being #30 in defense? Or ranked #5 in offense this year?
