[Derwood]

The immediate bat drop....

[cl smooth]

[Derwood]

Games like today make you wonder how he ONLY has 36 homers

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Put him on the 150 team

[Derwood]

That contract extension is going to be the biggest bargain in the history of baseball

He hit his 7th of the season on May 31st (Game 60 of 138). Impressive to think how great he’s been since then.

Yep. Think it was one of Theo's first drafts.

He has 36. He can absolutely get to 40. If he does 40/40 he has to be mvp, right? Even if a Ohtani comes back and pitches well.

I think that was (half) joke. Too many home runs, not enough opportunities to steal bases. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Taylor has been great for the Cubs so far 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Are we leading the league in AB against position players?

[squally1313]

Pedro ruins the chance for the first ever grand slam cycle 

[JHBulls]

This is fun!

[squally1313]

Too much smiling. Don’t they know we’re in a cold stretch

[WhyCantWeWin]

PCA def wanted to get that 4th one there

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

HR on a 38 mph pitch is crazy

[Geographyhater8888]

Cubs are currently at 32.5 positional fWAR, almost 10 wins more than the #2 Dodgers are also tied for dead last with Washington at 3.3 pitching war.

no no I legitimately don’t think the guy that hit 3 today can hit 4 more in the next 5 weeks. 

[Bull]

If we are looking for a negative today, Busch needs to wake up.

Choosing to believe Busch is unselfishly saving his two week hot streak that every single player has gotten this year for October

0 for 6 stands out on the box score for sure.
