I'm not sure I can convey in words how much I love this team

I'm also not sure whom I love most. And schwarbs isn't even playing.

And then there's Heyward the offensive killjoy

[imb]

ive decided that addison russell is good

[ScrubMD]

Addison is closing in on giving the Cubs 3 MVP candidates.

[David]

Man what if Russell is turning into a bryzzo level player? That might be enough to break the playoff crapshoot (not really but yeah)

[Tim]

Len, re: Russell, "Our baby is growing up"

[Cubswin11]

Given Russell's hot streak you can only assume another child is on the way in ~9 months

[Guancous]

Can you imagine if this Addison Russell shows up for 150 games next year?

 

The Cubs could have the top 3 MVP candidates next year.

[Brian]

I always figured he'd get to that level, just thought it was a year or two away.

woah woah woah, we still have aBBieta on the mound

[Ding Dong Johnson]

oh, and this is basically the team next year. except Schwarber will be hitting too.

[Brian]

In looking ahead to later tonight, I'm a little surprised nobody has used 25 since dlee. Long time for a mid-twenties number to go unused.

That along with adding a 30-40 HR dong monster next year might just break the game

Imagine then if like heyward becomes heyward or Soler continues to head to beastdom or schwarber is the next Brian Giles or Contreras blah blah. Yeah basically this team is really sick

[Sammys Boombox]

What if Heyward returns to form with the bat?

I'm not sure about the pitching, but I expect the offense to basically be playing the game on easy mode next year.

[Brian]

Jake is just walking people for the pick-offs and double plays

[TMan92]

What if Heyward returns to form with the bat?

 

 

All teams just forfeit?

[Tim]

holy crap Javy is fast on the turn

[Cubswin11]

Jake isn't overly impressive tonight, to find something to complain about since this is a message board and all Edited August 24, 2016 by Cubswin11

The Padres would probably have like 3 runs by now if they just stopped swinging.
