2019 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 31
Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports I love today’s picture. It has the feeling of Willson soaking in the moment. Willson hit his ninth homer in the second inning last night. Last year, he hit his ninth home run in August. It’s early, there is a lot of baseball to be played and there are some remarkable performances going on across the league. That said, Willson Contreras and Javier Baez are playing like two guys dueling for an MVP. In the end, of course we’d be ecstatic for either one if they did go on to that kind of accolade. But the bigger picture is that having two guys like that firing on all cylinders, leading this team is pushing it higher and higher.
