One of the biggest pieces of the 2016 team to me, and I'm not saying this is the team that wins the World Series, but it's the feelings that it invokes.

And how good was the two out hitting during that time?

You know, up and down the lineup, you saw guys producing, especially 7, 8, 9.

You know, you saw it like once again with two outs, they were able to do it.

And then you see last night on Marquee Sports Network that the Cubs, over 36 games, are off to their second best start over that span.

Second to 2016, they were 27-9.

In 2026, they are 24-12.

That ties the 1969 team.

There are all these comparisons.

And then I think there's just another concept of this, which is, dare I say...

In the words of we are good, they know that they are good right now.

That's it.

So we'll get into that flashpoint, looking back at that now.

A little bit later in our show, we want to do that next.

But just having that mentality and then seeing what we're seeing on the field, where even watching, you know for yourself, two home runs doesn't bother me.

Solo home runs especially.

Let those guys get theirs.

Being down doesn't bother you.

Using Jamison Tyone, Javier Asad, and then three more pitchers to get to Ryan Rolison, who ends up earning that win because it's in extras.

When you see all of the pinch hitters that were used, you know, for Matt Shaw as well.
