Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Season Thread Vol: (17-17)

6.5 game lead on the Giants for the #2 WC

But 4.5 behind Pitt for getting that WC game at Wrigley.

Need this win today to win another series and keep pressure on both squads. Need a strong start from Hammel



And Baez looked fairly good last night, even with the K in his first at bat. (nerves) Made contact on multiple 0-2 counts. Adjustments have been made. :smokin
 
NLC getting three in barring something catastrophic

Do Pitt and Chi have any more series? Pirates playing in Milwuakee is just bad news for them
 
Kris Bryant, who had three hits last night, has hit .346/.433/.625 since the start of August, increasing his season wRC+ to 134 – 21st best in baseball – and his WAR to 5.1. The latter is a mark that, as Michael noted last night, is truly incredible for a rookie, even one as hyped and lauded as Bryant. It’s 11th best in baseball, and puts him on pace to exceed 6.0 wins. Consider that, when the ZiPS projections were released in January, Bryant led the team with 4.3 wins, and I openly and gladly said that would be freaking fantastic. That’s how impressive of a rookie campaign this has been, and I can’t wait to see what this young man does down the stretch, let alone in the coming years.

For the record: the 6.0 WAR mark has been met or exceeded just three times by rookies since 2000 – Mike Trout (11.0 (holy sh*t)), Albert Pujols (7.2), and Ichiro Suzuki (6.0). Kris Bryant, my friends, is doing something very, very special.

This was before Bryant hit the game tying 2 run homer in the bottom of the 8th. Alas......
 
DMX, I checked, I think we play you 3 diff times this month, and twice against StL. Basically this whole month is Central vs Central, minus 1-2 series here or there.

We're close enough to the end, I'm gonna post our schedule in here some time tomorrow.

So we have the second wildcard locked up, but we need like a nice 5/7 win streak to calm my nerves a little.

That patience. :pimp:
 
Addison bomb #2. :wow: :pimp: 6-1.

With Arrieta goin tomorrow, this would be a great start to this series.
 
Russell is the FOURTH Cub rookie to have a multi home run game this year.

Bryant
Schwarber
Soler
Russell
 
Arrieta with 8 more shutout innings. 4 hits, no walks, 7 K's, season ERA at 2.03

Will be MLB leading 18-6 if we can hold this 2-0 lead in the 9th.
