Baez belts longest home run of Derby https://www.mlb.com/cubs/news/javier-baez-hits-16-homers-in-home-run-derby/c-286157526 -- NBC Sports Chicago Kyle Schwarber put up an epic HR Derby showing but couldn't quite hold off Bryce Harper By Tony Andracki The hometown hero adorned with American flag attire took down America's Large Adult Son. Bryce Harper walked off Kyle Schwarber in the 2018 Home Run Derby with his 19th homer in bonus time Monday night, lining a shot to center field to appease the Washington crowd at Nationals Park. Schwarber went first in the Final Round, drilling 18 homers. Harper followed and got off to a slow start, with only four dingers before he took his first timeout. As the final minute came around, it looked like Schwarber was going to take the crown, but Harper turnd in an incredible performance, hammering a ridiculous nine homers in 47 seconds at one point: Schwarber wasn't an All-Star, but still showed out in the Derby with 55 homers total between the three rounds. Harper had only 45 overall, but 1 more when it mattered most: Christopher Kamka @ckamka Most TOTAL home runs in 2018 #HRDerby 55 Kyle Schwarber 45 Bryce Harper 37 Rhys Hoskins 29 Max Muncy 16 Javier Báez 15 Alex Bregman 12 Jesús Aguilar 12 Freddie Freeman Schwarber hit 16 in the first round, narrowly beating Astros infielder Alex Bregman by one homer. Schwarber followed that with 21 longballs in the next round to walk-off Rhys Hoskins in an epic, energizing performance. The second-round performance from Schwarber was one for the ages. After Hoskins hit 20 to begin the showdown, Schwarber started his round slow before heating up. By the end, almost every swing was a shot out from Schwarbs and he pumped the crowd up with his fiery display of emotion after each blast. And then, right before regulation time was to end, Schwarber notched a spot in the final for himself: Despite a long day at the ballpark and a LOT of swings, Schwarber was still peppering the third deck in right field at Nationals Park and hit one dinger out at a whopping 111 mph. Javy Baez hit 16 homers in the first round, but was ousted by Dodgers slugger Max Muncy (17 homers). -- NBC Sports Chicago Nationals fans sent Kyle Schwarber from hero to villain in monumentally entertaining Home Run Derby By Vinnie Duber WASHINGTON, D.C. — How could someone like Kyle Schwarber play the villain? The fan favorite who’s always quick with a smile — or an Uncle Sam costume on the Fourth of July — Schwarber doesn’t fit the mold of a loathsome target of boos. But he made quite the heel turn in the minds of Washington Nationals fans Monday night, and of course he knew it was coming. Schwarber went from getting cheered by the legions in attendance at the Home Run Derby to getting booed when he took on, and eventually lost to, hometown hero Bryce Harper in the final round. “I was down in the tunnel saying, ‘If we get to the finals, Harp, they’re all going to be against me. I think they’re all going to be against me,’” Schwarber said Monday night. “And then I went out there and got booed after they all got pumped up for me. That’s just the beauty of it, and I was happy for Bryce that he won it in front of the home crowd.” Harper delivered an incredibly memorable baseball moment Monday night, catching up to Schwarber’s 18 home runs with a ridiculous display of repetitive power to win a Home Run Derby for the ages. The format of this event, revamped a couple years ago, made for a dramatic and hugely entertaining evening. Harper smacked nine homers over the final 47 seconds of the final round to tie Schwarber, then bested him in bonus time. Unsurprisingly, the home crowd was going ballistic for their boy. But earlier in the night, it was Schwarber getting all the cheers, when he made his own last-second comeback to beat Philadelphia Phillies slugger Rhys Hoskins in the second round. Schwarber was pumping up the crowd, pumping his fists and screaming while putting on a show of his own to catch and pass Hoskins' 20 home runs and advance to the finals. How quickly the locals forgot. By the finals — during which Schwarber looked understandably exhausted — the crowd had turned on him, trying to get every advantage for Harper. “As soon as I got done with that round, I told myself that he had it,” Schwarber said. “I knew that he had the home crowd behind him, and I knew that he was a very prolific power hitter with a great swing. For him to come in and do that and started getting down to the wire, all of a sudden he started racking them up one at a time. You kind of just accept your fate there.” Perhaps the night could’ve ended differently for Schwarber had he listened more closely to the advice of his teammates, Javy Baez and Willson Contreras, who were quick with Gatorade, a towel and words of encouragement on Monday. Baez hit 16 home runs in his own first-round appearance, though Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy knocked him out. “I was just telling him to slow down,” Baez said. “He was kind of rushing a little bit, that’s why he was jumping to the ball.” “They were actually giving me really good advice that I didn’t take because I was really dumb-headed,” Schwarber said. “‘Make sure you take some pitches and get the pitch that you want.’ At the end, I felt like I was swinging at everything. I was just running out of gas. I felt like I had to put up as many swings just to try to put a couple out.” Schwarber was totally content with losing out to Harper’s home-field advantage. Though as his homers flew out deep into the right-field seats Monday night, you couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if Schwarber was instead taking aim at Sheffield Avenue and getting his own home-field advantage from Cubs fans.

    May 6, 2016 Chicago Sun-Times Rizzo’s numbers started to turn last month when baseball luck did By Gordon Wittenmyer Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo doesn’t believe in baseball luck as much as he believes in the power of the long baseball season. But good luck finding another way to explain his early numbers compared to the streak he’s been on the last two weeks. “Part of it is he had to have better luck,” manager Joe Maddon said, referring to Rizzo’s average on balls in play. “It was atrociously low, and that eventually comes back to you.” Rizzo’s average on those balls in play (BABIP) through April 19: .139 (an average hitter will be around .300). Until he went hitless with a walk Thursday, his BABIP (which excludes home runs and strikeouts) since then: .314. In those 12 games after April 19 (through Wednesday), Rizzo was 17-for-47 (.362), with six homers, nine walks and 16 RBIs. “Even when I hit the ball well, it was right at them,” said Rizzo, whose turnaround also coincides with opening his stance slightly. “The good thing is I know it’s a long season. So it’s not like I’m going to panic in April like I did four years ago. I know there’s a long way to go.” -- Chicago Sun-Times Cubs beat Nats in opener of marquee matchup of MLB’s top teams By Gordon Wittenmyer If these are the top two teams in baseball, as their records suggest, the Cubs made their biggest statement yet of the young season with a 5-2 victory over the Washington Nationals in the opener of a four-game series at Wrigley.

  • Kyle Schwarber Projects His Own Cubs Future As Great Baseball Minds Confirm His Self-Confidence
    Kyle Schwarber projects his own Cubs future as great baseball minds confirm his self-confidence By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, August 3, 2015 If Kyle Schwarber can’t be even more successful than he already has been in his sensational break-in month as a Cub, something’s seriously wrong. The stocky catcher-outfielder-natural hitter drips motivation and student of baseball from every pore, and wizened baseball men can spot those qualities at 40 paces or closer. “I’ve seen a guy make adjustments pitch to pitch,” Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams said of Schwarber. “He’s just a baseball player knowing what he can do to be successful. He has work to do (to improve) behind the plate. I sat in a meeting the other day Kyle Schwarber with the catching coach, and (Schwarber) talked like a veteran booked an express getting out the hitters. He’s an individual who wants to learn. ticket to Wrigley Field after the Those who have an ear and open mind to learn do well in the equivalent of one game.” minor-league sea- Cincinnati Reds third-base coach Jim Riggleman, the last man to manage five full seasons for the Cubs, senses an elite hitter after Schwarber fast-tracked through the minor leagues since his June 2014 selection as the Cubs’ No. 1 pick. “The really impact guys get there quickly,” he said. “Go back through the history of the game. The greatest hitters didn’t get to big leagues at 25, 26. For most part, the great ones were there early, like (Mickey) Mantle, (Hank) Aaron, (Ted) Williams, (Albert) Pu- jols.

    October 25, 2016 Chicago Tribune New team, new pressure, but Joe Maddon won't change in World Series By Paul Sullivan Joe Maddon has played the roles of philosopher, comedian, zoo director, T-shirt maker and self-help guru in his two years as Cubs manager. But now that he's the first manager to take the Cubs to a World Series since Charlie Grimm in 1945, his sole task is to outmaneuver Indians manager Terry Francona, one of the best in the business. The pressure is on, and we all know what Maddon thinks about pressure. "Why would you ever want to run away from that?" Maddon said before Monday's workout at Progressive Field. "The alternative right now is I could be in Tampa cooking steaks in my backyard, making sure DirecTV is working properly. "I'd much prefer this reality, so I plan to enjoy it. I want our guys to enjoy the moment. I want them to take mental snapshots of everything we're doing out here. It's really difficult to get into this position — really difficult.
