The Chicago Cubs lost on Thursday, but they still became the first team to clinch a postseason berth when the San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals.
Now, nothing can go wrong. They’re the Cubs, after all.
Speaking of nothing going wrong, we here at Bleacher Report’s MLB Team of the Week are out to honor 10 players—one per position, including a starting pitcher and designated hitter—who busted box scores over the past seven days.
To qualify, a player needs to have made at least two starts at the position in question, or one start in the case of pitchers. And while this is primarily about individual output, we award extra credit for flashy stats that led to ticks in the win column.
Stretch out your commenting muscles and proceed when ready.
