9/16 - Kris Bryant taking in a game at Wrigley

[UMFan83]

Stro pitching, Bryant still hurt like he has been most of the year unfortunately. Cubs up 1-0 in the 3rd

sounds like nico might need surgery (just speculation). i wonder if that affects how hard they'll pursue a ss

It would be REALLY nice if Mckinstry could stay hot the rest of the year. The team needs a LHH infielder for the bench something fierce, and and I don't see much on the market for this winter in that vein aside from Joey Wendle?

 

Also Stro has sneakily gotten his numbers damn near where you would have expected coming into the year

Yeah, I'm pleased that he's been a bit above average offensively for going on 4 weeks now. I don't need him to be an expected above average hitter given his defense and the lack of alternatives, but the 35 wRC+ he was running to start his Cubs tenure wasn't gonna cut it.

Yeah the aforementioned Joey Wendle, who has a pretty similar profile (trade a little power for contact), is playing at a about a 2 WAR per 600 PA pace despite an 87 wRC+. The offensive bar is quite low.

This seems notable

[UMFan83]

we win

This is the third game I’ve totally missed this year. That’s more than I can ever remember.
