Michael Bush

maybe the end is near for Sal Perez, right? He had 20, 28 more plate appearances and he still finished with eight home runs less.

So I think you kind of got to ring that bell and say the end is near Joe Adele, Michael Bush, also guys who ended up with more plate appearances than projected, but still just, just shy of 23 home runs.

On the flip side, these are the guys who overperformed.

These are the guys who came up out of nowhere.

So it was just a mental preparation, finding ways to calm down, kind of mentally putting myself in those situations, feeling how the emotions are going to be, and knowing where my mind tends to go in those moments.

Musgrove, on his first pitch in 727 days, fired a 95.8 fastball to Michael Bush.

Strike one.

The crowd screamed, and his teammates yelled.

I don't want to say lack of personality.

Michael Bush, subdued.

Nico Horner, even-keeled, subdued.

Same for Dansby Swanson.

Give Nico Horner an RBI as he draws a bases-loaded walk.

Bush comes in to score.

It is now 3-0 Cubs over the Reds here in the third.

That

Makes all the sense in the world.

All right, let's get to something real scary.

What was that like for you guys when Bregman took the foul tip off Michael Bush to the face? What was that experience like that night for you guys?

yeah just like I mean just how instant it is right like you're just hanging out playing your normal Sunday baseball game I think it was 5-0 at that point and just boom instant crazy things happen and um Yeah, so I mean, if anyone's going to figure out a way to be a productive version of himself, well, imagine wearing some crazy combination of masks and who knows what else.

The Cubs own the tiebreakers over the Diamondbacks, Padres, and Phillies.

Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman left Sunday's game in the fourth inning after being struck in the face by a foul ball off the bat of Michael Bush while standing near the on-deck circle.

Sam Antonacci had a two-run double and a three-run fourth inning.

The Chicago White Sox kept pace in the AL Central and eliminated the Detroit Tigers from playoff contention with a rain-soaked 8-1 victory.

He's got 41, he's got 44 home runs now, and he's gonna end up with 40 stolen bases before it's all said and done.

Michael Bush cracks one in the air, deep right center field, back goes Acuna, makes the catch, shy of the track.

Out number two.

We're gonna have to start checking Cubs records for most home runs by anybody in a single season.
