He's up to a 100 wRC+ and a .330 wOBA, and should be right around 100 on an OPS+ so he'll end up the year an almost exactly average major league hitter in 2017, after what looked like what might be a lost season. Good for him.
this was a cool game and doubly cool for letting kris do something dramatic even Javy's hit was eerily similar to the game winning hit in the Giants series last year
After everything that's gone wrong this year, and being 2 games under at the all star break, the fact the Cubs can go 6-6 in the final twelve and win 90 games is incredible.
Yeah that kind of shift on a righty seems nuts to me but heck whatever. And then Rizzo hits a line drive in the most dangerous area of a shift and squeezes it in. Runs off an inning that started so unpromisingly would be cool
