Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

Yeah, you don't trade Bryant.  That is insanity.

Kris Bryant strikeouts by season:
2015 - 199... 35.60%
2016 - 154... 25.53%
2017 - 128... 23.31%

Kris Bryant walks by season:
2015 - 77... 13.77%
2016 - 75... 12.43%
2017 - 95... 17.30%

Kris Bryant K/BB by season:
2015 - 2.58
2016 - 2.05
2017 - 1.35

Considering they were barely a .500 team at the break, I was shocked they got as far as they did.
The Cubs were the least talented of the 4 remaining teams and it played out that way.
They need to fill some holes but there is no reason to think they shouldn't make a legit run next year.  In the mean time....go Blackhawks!  

Rondon, Lackey and Arrietta will all most certainly be gone next season. 

Washington just dumped Dusty, so they've already become tougher next season.

Need some good work from Theo and Jed.

After Rondon gave up the grand slam last night my immediate thought was "Well, it's officially hockey season now."  Let's Go Hawks!

Trade Bryant?? Jeez..

Bryant, Rizz (for now), Contrearas, and Russell are locked in..cant trade these guys. Accepting offers for everyone else.

Looks like Arietta shaved his beard.  When you lose you realize the beards just look stupid.

He does that after every season. 

Ah.  He should spare us all from that filthy rat's nest next year.

Nationals have reached out to Dave Martinez for managerial position.

They have already gotten better by getting rid of Dusty. They will be super good next year, then Harper will be a Cub! Muahhahahaha

And yes I know Cueto is a righty, but this guy looks like him as a lefty. Has the same deceptive timing moves.

True dat. From what I’ve seen he looks like 15-16 Cueto. Hope he moves up thru the ranks quickly next season and continues to bring his stuff to each level.
