August 8, 2019: New Additions

It’s all about getting hot at the right time.  The Cubs have been hot at home, all year.  And I know one game shouldn’t mean crap, but to get this first W in game 1 of this 10 game road trip… it feels damn good. 

How about the new additions to the ball club?  Let’s start with Nick Castellanos.  What a sneaky, under the radar acquisition.  Reading the national media’s take on the trade deadline, and even the local take, folks weren’t too impressed.  How you doing?  This guy has been killing it for the Cubs.  It’s nice to see the extra base hits… leading the league in doubles, and lately a few dingers, but what I like is this guy’s attitude.  Sure, it wouldn’t be crap without the performance on the field, but put it together, and bam.  This guy hustles.  This guy is a gamer.  This guy may be exactly what the Cubs needed at this very moment.  He really stretches that lineup too.  Putting him at the top of the lineup makes us that much deeper.  He’s been solid in the field too.  I’ve only seen, what, 8 games with Nick, but I want more, more, more…

Ian Happ is the other “new addition”.  Yes, I said it here… I wasn’t so excited about getting Ian back, but man, he continues to prove me wrong.  They haven’t been starting him every game, but his ABs so far since he’s been back have been very meaningful.  Go ahead hit in St. Louis.  Go ahead hit vs Oakland.  Grand slam vs Oakland.  Another big game vs Cincy in this one.  Ian Happ has been that “other guy” that we needed to step up, especially with Contreras going down.  Love to see it, and like with Nick, I want more of it.

Our other new addition isn’t here yet, but he’s getting here.  How big will it be to have Ben Zobrist back in this lineup?  Heck, to have him back in the dugout, his veteran presence…. his been there done that MVP presence.  That will lead to great things.  If not off his bat personally, good things will happen from the other guys… just from him being back around, especially knowing what he’s been through this year.  To see him back… that will be another shot in the arm to this Cubs team.

Who else we got?  What about Morrow?  Imagine as Kimbrel and Kintzler get healthy, we add Morrow in September.  Talk about shoring up the bullpen.  Will everything come together at the right time for this Cubs team?

Well, let’s just get a winning road trip.  1-0 so far; 9 games to go.  But I’m feeling it right now; amazing what winning 6 out of 7 and extending the lead in the Central will do for you.  Keep it rolling boys.  Take that lead and don’t look back.  Go Cubs!
