Kris Bryant: NL MVP front-runner?
View PostCubs 6, Dodgers 4 (8.26.16)
OSS: Bryant and Heyward fuel a Cubs comeback. Three up: Kris Bryant poured a dump truck full of concrete into the foundation of his MVP case, hitting home runs number 34 and 35 to lead the Cubs to victory and put him back in the NL lead for homers. He might even have passed Mike Trout in the fWAR race, …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (81-45) at Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles (71-55)
It’s our last chance to hear Vin Scully call a Cubs game. Boo. The Dodgers have been kind of a mess injury-wise this year, but somehow find themselves at the top of their division anyway. Despite having fourteen (!) different pitchers start a game this year, they still have the sixth-best starter ERA in the league. If you made a …

The top of the order combined to go 5-13, scoring five runs. Kyle Hendricks struck out eight batters in six innings, and managed to hold the lead the offense …

Cubs 5, Padres 3 (8.23.16)
OSS: There’s no such thing as an easy win, I guess. Three up: Kris Bryant homered again, bringing his season total up to 33, and salted the rest of his performance with two walks. Going into the game he had tied last year’s 6.6 fWAR total, and there’s still a month and change to go. Addison Russell also had a …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (78-45) @ San Diego Padres (53-71)
This is a series the Cubs should dominate even on the road. The pitching matchups are quite friendly to the Cubs and they are by far a superior team. This probably means the Cubs will end up squeaking out only one win, but I’m going to predict a sweep by the Cubs. That’s not a bold prediction. The Cubs are …
