What woke the Cubs up, the Cardinal series or the Machado talk?

[UMFan83]

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I’ll take these Cubs. These Cubs please me

 

I'm just proud of them for doing exactly what they should be doing against the Marlins.

I'm going with the Marlins being an AAA team and the Cubs not being an AAA team for $500.

[Brian]

is it good when an inning has 11 plate appearances and 0 LOB?

[ScrubMD]

Russell is going deep, too.

 

I think my proudest moment as a Cubs fan was calling Russell's game 6 grand slam, and calling the distance within like 3ft. My life has been all downhill since that.

facing the marlins pitching staff at wrigley with 40 mph wind gusts blowing out

[Ding Dong Johnson]

wind is blowing out at 73 mph, and the biggest donkey on the planet just hit the ball 57 feet. baseball is good today

Imagine being as good at something as KB is at baseball.

Ah, wind blowing out(?). That makes sense

[Aaron_Kennelly]

How about another, KB?

[squally1313]

How long would Javy have to do horsefeathers like this before I'm like ok he's for real? because i dont feel close to that yet

 

FWIW, i don't remember him having a stretch of his career this good for over a month, fwiw. and there are tangible and noticeable differences in what he's doing at the plate. will be interesting to see how the league adjusts back.

 

He put up an .899 in 06/2016 and a .846 in 07/2016, bookended by .551 and .594.

 

That's about as hot as he's been, as I can tell, and I forgot how good he was last year...851 OPS in the second half. It's not the 'ideal' type of a high OPS, but I'll more than take it.
