I'm sure all of baseball is overjoyed at the Cubs adding another boomstick for the stretch run.

George Sun sure does hate the Cardinals.

Since he came back from the DL he's hitting .379/.438/.828(!!)/1.265 with 3 walks and 5 Ks in 32 PA. I'll have to have CD run the numbers on his battle back % but it feels like he's turned a lot of 0-2 counts into 3-2 counts as well. He's not chasing anything. I hope this is an actual evolution in his game and not just a hot streak because if he can stay locked in and disciplined like this he's utterly terrifying.

I've noticed a lot of patience and good pitch recognition in his approach since coming back, but it also looked like a continuation from his approach before he got hurt. And that is the evolution in his game that we thought we were witnessing. I want to see this sustained for a bit longer, but right now he's got to be in the lineup over Heyward.

Just imagine his/Javy's/Albert's/Willson's continued development for next year and throw in a healthy Schwarber and this team's going to do even more curb-stomping than this year. If anyone's rich on this site, start sending money to the Commish to get us the dh in the NL for '17.

Still won't be able to score with the bases loaded tho, amirite?

I hope this is an actual evolution in his game and not just a hot streak because if he can stay locked in and disciplined like this he's utterly terrifying.

Since August 1st, he's gotten behind 0-2/1-2 in 14 of his 32 PAs and battled back in 5 of them. Among players who've had at least 25 total PAs this month, that rate of 35.7% would put George in a tie for 4th in the MLB. Zobrist (7/22, 31.8%) and Fowler (7/24, 29.2%) are also in the top 20.

The Cubs as a team are third in battle back% at 17.6% since the start of the month (38/216). They trail the Cards (43/228, 18.9%) and Rockies (42/236, 17.8%).

That feels about right. George doing an even better job of not chasing than Zobrist. If he can just keep spitting on those breaking balls on the dirt, highly erotic things are going to keep happening.

Continued development means at least 1 of them should be able to amirite?
