After batting 0.158 with a 0.246 SA in April and 0.292 with a 0.333 SA in May, Christian is slashing 0.291/0.400/0.455 this month.  With his patellar tendon issue over a year in the rear-view mirror, Christian may have more to offer than a 98th PCTL "exit velocity". .

It's encouraging that they are allowing JP to pitch multiple innings.  Hopefully, the TJ recovery is going well.  Mule is struggling to keep his WHIP sub-2 despite a BAA of well-below 0.200.  Poster boy for the hard throwers the Cubs have drafted lately.
