Picking a bad time to have some struggles.

This is getting brutal.

The guys aren't swinging freely anymore.

You can tell the pressure is getting to them.

One nice thing.... this is a growing experience for all these young guys... Nico, Morel, Suzuki, Madrigal etc... these are essentially playoff games. 13 games left... all are must win. Can't take it easy in any of them.

Stumbling to the finish line.

As expected.. Cody Bellinger declines 2024 option.

Not as expected... Marcus Stroman declines 2024 option.

Cubs picked up options on Yan Gomes and Kyle Hendricks

Announced tonight... Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ win Rawlings Gold Gloves!!!!

I'm a little shocked Happer won the GG. The eye test, especially later in the season, definitely says he wasn't elite. I guess they're relying heavily on metrics.
