Representing the winning run in the 9th with a runner at 2nd 0 outs, Baez swung at a 3-0 pitch out of the zone then struck out 2 pitches later.

I think it’s Zach, not will.

Hope they all do well and it doesn't make the Cubs look bad if they do well. They were all collectively on a team that was 11 games out of first with them all in the lineup. I expect a bit of a trade bump in value.

Bryant K's in first at-bat. We were right to trade him

Dong in his second. Bad trade.

Rizzo had an RBI, but also ran into an out at 3rd base

Maybe not the right thread but I read on MLBTR that Schwarber's going to play 1B for the Red Sox

 

Good. Let them teach him how to be average there and then bring him back this offseason.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Was looking at Schwarber's game log. Was his good season really all done in about 12 games?

 

ETA: Basically asking if he really has changed much as a hitter as I didn't follow him this season.

Without looking at any stats, I’m gonna go with “he was on a heater” for a few weeks. Seems like the same player he was in a Cubs uniform.

He went on the ultimate heater but yeah, he'd have good weeks with the Cubs where he'd homer once a game and then he'd have a few weeks where he'd hit .100 or so. It's fine if you have players behind him that are consistent but that was the problem with the Cubs.

I think the issue every baseball fan has, regardless of what team they watch closest, is complaining about inconsistency as if it's a unique issue to their team. There's no one in the league who hits .300 every week/month. Schwarber put up one of the best 3 week stretches in offensive baseball history, and almost singlehandedly dragged them back into a playoff race, relegating that to 'eh, he was on a heater, won't happen again' is pretty dumb.

It was the type of run I thought he would be capable of a few more times in his Cubs tenure, honestly
