I know this site is a Japan-centric site and Imanaga is Japanese but the Cubs and A's are also-rans. Focus on winning teams. Aaron Judge is having another MVP season. Ohtani is lucky he left the AL because even with his great season, he wouldn't win with Judge there. Recognize.

@Mocheake Huh? Plenty of other sites you can for baseball news! As you said yourself, this is Japantoday!

@Mocheake--The As are bad but since this is the end of their Oakland years there is some nostalgia surrounding them. Also uncertainty because Sacramento may not be a done deal.
The Cubs are a pretty good team, 2nd place in the NL Central. Could they squeak into the playoffs via the wild card? They just appear to be also-rans next to the superior Brew Crew, but they are far better than the other Chicago team.

He had a great game.

@Torafusu Torasan - The Cubs are 77-73, 5 games out of the last wild card and not a pretty good team. Their win-loss record, not position in the standings, is more indicative of how good they are and they are mediocre at best. The only reason they appeared here is because of Imanaga, to appease the people who only care about the Japanese players in MLB.
