The Chicago Cubs have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in baseball this season. With yet another comeback win—this time against the Cincinnati Reds—the Cubs continue to prove just how resilient and dangerous they can be. Sunday night’s 11-8 victory pushed their record to 32-21, keeping them atop the NL Central standings.
A Comeback Fueled by Seiya Suzuki
Trailing late in the game, the Cubs once again showed their fight. The comeback was punctuated by a massive three-run home run from Seiya Suzuki in the top of the 8th inning, a clutch moment that sealed the win and sent a message to the rest of the league: these Cubs don’t quit.
Suzuki has been a force all season, delivering in key moments and helping drive the Cubs offense forward. He now leads Major League Baseball with 49 RBIs, showcasing his value as both a consistent and explosive hitter.
The Rise of Pete Crow-Armstrong
While Suzuki’s season has been impressive, he's not the only one carrying the offensive load. Pete Crow-Armstrong has also emerged as a breakout star and is right behind Suzuki with 48 RBIs, second in all of baseball. His energy, swagger, and fearlessness on the field have made him arguably the most electric player in the league right now.
Whether it’s making plays in the outfield or coming through in clutch at-bats, PCA has brought a new level of excitement and confidence to the Cubs clubhouse. His development has been a major factor in the team's early-season success.
Plenty of Contributors, But Stars Are Shining Bright
The Cubs success hasn't rested solely on Suzuki and Crow-Armstrong. Many players have stepped up throughout the season, delivering when it matters most. But there’s no denying that these two have been at the heart of the Cubs offensive explosion.
Their contributions have helped transform the Cubs into a legitimate fun team, capable of competing with the best in the league.
Looking Ahead: Can the Cubs Make a Real Run?
With their current momentum and the emergence of key players, the Cubs look like a team that could make a postseason run. However, if there’s one area where improvement may be needed, it’s pitching. A trade deadline move or two to bolster the rotation or the bullpen could make a huge difference down the stretch.
Still, regardless of what happens next, one thing is clear: Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong are changing everything about the outlook of this season. As long as they keep performing at this level, the Cubs will be a dangerous and exciting team to watch.
