Talk:2016 Chicago Cubs season

Too soon?
As this season has only had 2 games for each team, this may be too soon. Mid-Season is a better time to create this. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 20:21, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Once the season starts the stats are "live", results are posted, everything is "GO". Why on earth would editors wait till mid-season? It's a little early in your 2 day-old Wikipedia career to be telling other editors when and where to work.  Buster Seven   Talk  20:43, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Game log
The game log is 5 days out of date. No results for the Marlin series and no results for the Reds series. Consistency is a required virtue. Buster Seven   Talk  06:46, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I was on vacation, watching the Cubs in Cincy, I'll get on it!!Lincolning (talk) 14:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Good news. Actually I feared something amiss had happened. Glad to hear all is OK. Cincy must have been a blast!!! Buster Seven   Talk  22:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Buster7 September addition
There are still two more games left in September, I think the September section is premature. I think you should remove it for now. --Lincolning (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Putting this here so you can put it back in when appropriate
 * September The Cubs record for the month of August was 20–6 and their overall record of 83–47 was the major league best. The pitching staff once again led the league with the lowest earned run average (ERA) of 3.14, fewest hits allowed at 913, fewest runs allowed at 445, fewest earned runs allowed at 410, the lowest batting average by opponents at .213 and were among the leaders in fewest home runs allowed and in striking out opponent batters. The Cubs offense, when compared to all major league teams, was among the leaders in on-base percentage, base runners who eventually score, runs batted in and drawing walks. Jason Heyward was in the midst of a 9 game hitting streak. Bryant had hit 10 home runs and 24 RBI's in his last 30 games and had a post All-Star break batting average of .346.

 * Thanks, Linc. I was working in my sandbox and must have mistakenly went "live". Last nights win must have made me giddy.:~) Buster Seven   Talk  16:45, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Roster box
Editor JCRules undid the roster box as a waste of bytes (?) which I Oppose. his edit was undone and the box was returned. I think it should stay. Buster Seven   Talk  14:22, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

How many batters for the Dodgers in game 6?
It looked like they were on the way to 27 for a while (something like a perfect game). I didn't notice anything to change that, but the TV announcers aren't saying anything about that remarkable feat. What did I miss?

 * The box score gives 26 official at bats and 1 walk, so it looks like 27 batters. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 03:51, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, 27 plate appearances, the minimum possible in a nine-inning game. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:02, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
