We all know what happened though in October, when he made a remarkable comeback six months into his recovery to help the Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians in seven games of the World Series and snap a 108-year championship drought. On Friday, the 24-year-old slugger returned to The Desert for redemption and smoked a solo shot in the top of the sixth inning, guiding the Cubs to an 8-3 victory in their series opener against the Diamondbacks. Alex Avila followed that up with a homer of his own, his second in a Cubs uniform. -- CSNChicago.com How Cubs react without Willson Contreras will define their season By Patrick Mooney Cubs manager Joe Maddon finished the sentence before the reporter could get out the entire question: When something like this happens with a player like Willson Contreras, can that have… “A galvanizing effect,” Maddon said during Wednesday’s postgame media briefing at AT&T Park, where he had a glass of Big Smooth red wine waiting after a potentially devastating loss to the San Francisco Giants. “Absolutely.” Uh, or maybe go the other way? It spoke to Maddon’s glass-half-full optimism and savvy way of playing offense with the media. It also sounded a little out of touch in the middle of a season where his perceptions haven’t necessarily matched the realities of a disappointing team. “I think something like this – for as bad as it seems on the surface – actually could galvanize the group,” Maddon said. “They know that he’s not here right now. They know how important he’s been to us. And now other guys realize: ‘Hey, let’s go, we have to pick up the slack.’ “I’ve seen it before, where your best player in that moment goes down and all of a sudden everybody else elevates their game a bit. That’s what I’m looking to see.” We’ll see. The Cubs announced the diagnosis before Friday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field: Contreras will likely be sidelined four-to-six weeks with a strained right hamstring. Suboptimal as Maddon might say, but also not the worst-case scenario feared when it looked like this could be a season-ending injury. “It’s been that kind of year,” pitcher Kyle Hendricks said. “Guys going down, somebody else has to come in and step up. That’s why we have so much depth on this team. “We just got to stick with our approach, stay with what this locker room does. Work on the at-bats, go pitch-to- pitch on the mound and kind of go from there and just win ballgames.” Even with Contreras becoming the kind of two-way catcher whose name could show up in the National League MVP voting, the Cubs have lost three straight series after their 13-3 run between the All-Star break and the July 31 trade deadline. It sounds like Maddon is still searching for the right buttons to push with a 59-54 team that is up only three games on the fourth-place Pittsburgh Pirates, with the St. Louis Cardinals rising and the Milwaukee Brewers fading. “The clubhouse has been great,” Maddon said. “The dugout’s been great. We just haven’t played well. We have not played with the same kind of efficiency that we had been playing with coming out of the break. “Pitching (has been) great. Defense – we still got to make plays. And overall, offensively, we need more consistency out of more people to get this whole thing done. “We came out with a lot of energy, played well post-break. Now we are just getting back into that thing where we have to push ourselves mentally more than anything to get over the hump. “We got to somehow almost like kind of will yourself to win. We just can’t make the mistakes that we’re making that permits the other team to gain an edge.” Hoping for Hawk Harrelson’s will to win to appear in the middle of August? How the Cubs react to the Contreras news, handle the pennant-race pressure and perform over the next 49 games will ultimately define their season. As exciting and as valuable as Contreras has been this year – and central to that World Series run – he still has not played a full season in the big leagues yet. The Cubs still have a reigning MVP (Kris Bryant), a Silver Slugger (Anthony Rizzo) and a World Series MVP (Ben Zobrist) in the middle of their lineup. The Cubs have a former Cy Young Award winner (Jake Arrieta) in their rotation and an All-Star closer (Wade Davis) looming in the ninth inning. Javier Baez and Jason Heyward are two of the best defenders in the game. Cy Young Award finalists Jon Lester and Hendricks fronted the playoff rotation for a 103-win team last year. That group made a point to have “We Never Quit” engraved on the championship rings. “Everybody’s got to take it on themselves, more ownership,” Hendricks said. “Just take care of their job, what they got to do. We got to have a few guys step up.” -- CSNChicago.com Cubs catcher Willson Contreras sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with strained hamstring By Patrick Mooney Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Willson Contreras is not definitively out for the rest of the season.

  • Arrieta's Second-Half Decline Bites Cubs
    Arrieta’s second-half decline bites Cubs at just the wrong time in Game 3 By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 18, 2016 The location problems that afflicted Jake Arrieta in the second half came back to bite the Cubs hard Tuesday in a 6-0 de- feat, their second consecutive shutout loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodg- ers back-to-back post-season shutouts was the first in their storied franchise his- tory. Pitching like the third starter to which his performance level had often devolved, Ar- rieta’s gopher balls to Yasmani Grandal and Justin Turner revived the age-old It was a tale of two pitchers: Jake Arrieta (left) continued his second-half decline, while ex-Cub paranoia about playoff collapses from Rich Hill pitched the game of his life. Cubs fans, whose heroes must now play Photos: baseball-reference.com and mlb.com. from behind with a 2-1 deficit. And they’re forced to do it in two more games at Dodger Stadium, never a comfortable place for the Cubs since it opened in 1962. Their best hope to restore equilibrium is rattling 20-year-old rookie starter Julio Urias in Game 4 Wednesday with the Cubs hurling the veteran John Lackey, with his big- game playoff winner resume and 38th birthday looming this coming Sunday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s tinkering with the slumping lineup, which began with Game 3, might continue as the situation approaches criticality. Eighteen straight scoreless in- nings tossed at the previously prodigious lineup will conjure up nightmares of past postseason pratfalls with the Cubs hitting only .190 versus breaking balls so far this year.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks Honoring the World Series Champion Washington Nationals November 4, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much, everyone. I have to say, this is a record. We've never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House. So congratulations. Just another record for the Nats. But today the First Lady and I are thrilled to welcome to the White House the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals. For the first time in nearly 100 years, our Nation's Capital is celebrating a World Series victory. That's big stuff. The last time Washington, DC, was home to the World Series champs, the President was a gentleman named Calvin Coolidge. That's a long time ago. Nearly a century later, the Nationals have brought back the trophy to America's Capital, and you've won it. This is the first World Series in franchise history, and it's going to be, really, the first of many, I predict. I want to congratulate the terrific owners of the team. Your principal owner, Mark Lerner, and Ted Lerner. Great people. The Lerner family. A man who's become very famous—I think he's much more famous than me right now— General Manager Mike Rizzo. You have become very famous, huh? General Manager and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Thank you, sir. The President. A manager—and you watch all the mistakes made in baseball and other sports, and then you watch what this man did as manager. He didn't make any.

The FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK kicks-off August with the biggest rivalry in the game on Saturday, August 6 (4:00 PM ET). As of today, merely one game separates the first-place Red Sox and the second-place Yankees in the AL East division. Winners of five in a row, the Yankees have rode the strong pitching of Cy Young candidate CC Sabathia as they’ve closed the gap on the Red Sox. Sabathia is scheduled to take the mound Saturday against hard throwing Red Sox right-hander John Lackey who looks to shut down a powerful Yankee lineup at Fenway Park in Boston. Meanwhile, a rematch of the 2010 NLCS takes place in San Francisco as the Giants host the Phillies. Sporting the best record in MLB, Ryan Howard and the Phillies aim to take the NL from the 2010 World Champion Giants. The MLB on FOX pregame show originates live from the Fenway Park in Boston, MA with host Chris Rose . Once game action begins, Rose joins Joe Buck and Tim McCarver as a field reporter.
