This will be the final edition of “Three up, three down” for this season. After the season’s over I’ll post some thoughts about how it went, and then separately, my usual final season grades for Cubs players.
Three up
Seiya Suzuki is finishing strong
Suzuki got off to a great start, faded a bit, got hurt, came back strong, faded again and now, after missing some time to attend to the birth of his first child, has hit well since coming back. Over his last five games: .333/.429/.611 (6-for-18) with a triple, a home run, six runs scored and three walks.
