Eddie Matthews -- 47 Braves 1953 21
Joe DiMaggio -- 46 Yankees 1946 22
Johnny Bench -- 45 Reds 1970 22
Juan Gonzalez -- 43 Rangers 1992 22
Alex Rodriguez -- 42 Mariners 1998 22
Mel Ott -- 42 Giants 1929 20
Eddie Matthews -- 40 Braves 1954 22
Bryce Harper -- 40 Nationals 2015 22

List of 40 home run players before 22. I would say that is some elite company

Good company, indeed.

He had a couple "so-so" years (vs. expectations), and it was easy to forget he is so young still.

Boy, scoring runs has been a ***** lately. I'd sure like to see them getting deep into counts again and force the pitcher to come to them. They are due to break out.

Cubs have had a hard time with Burnett in the past. This is nothing new.

Missing 20 wins sucked but the team won. That made up for it.

What I'm glad about is he still lowered his ERA. Even with out the win he still is strengthening his case.

A few people in the lineup aren't firing right now like Rizzo. All that has to happen is hanging on for the second WC and getting hot that last week even and then as Bear Pride said pre-season "the Cubs are going to shock the world".

But it really won't be a shock.....we were told this time was coming 30 years ago.

Sadly miami didn't live up to their part of the deal. Doc and Marty fucked up the timeline.

1.61 vs 1.93. Historic vs historic and, oh by the way, the other guy is at 2.12. It's really beyond crazy when you think about it.
