Breggman is the one this month that has made a much bigger difference, right? In terms of actually hitting for power, two, three home games in the last 10-ish days and he had never done it before. And his career prior to this, I think both of them are huge factors into why the Cubs have been so successful this season. And I think it's also a reminder we've talked about it before on some of his post-game shows and the watch-alongs of guys will get to their numbers at some point. Guys like Breggman and Danesby and Hap and guys who have done it before will figure it out and even Niko with a home or tonight and it's turned out power in the second half here too. These guys will get to where they typically are at the back of the baseball cards. It didn't happen for whatever reason, the first half for basically everybody but PCA. And now in the second half they're showing it and an incredible month of August for Breggman will have him basically have a pretty standard normal season for him. Nine home runs for the Cubs tonight. Tony's one of the few people at the ballpark that didn't hit a home run tonight.

Sure. But we do have sound that he got from Alex Breggman who hit three of them. Here he is in the Cubs Clubhouse. Oh, it was a good month and obviously driving the baseball up in the line up but I think just a quality of that in the second half it's been super consistent up in all line up and it's been top-honored closing teams. Alex, it was also a good game. Nine home runs. That's a franchise record also. What's a like big part of a nine home run game? It's pretty awesome. I mean, I feel like the guys were swimming at good pitches and hitting the ball hard today. Those are the last two bats where he goes and one of these one. I think he's able to do as hard as you can as far as you can but there's something different about those last two weeks now with guys that are going to turn into a hard at all.

I don't know. Obviously the counts at the end of the year, your numbers and stuff which is nice. But I don't know how much longer though but that haven't been seen what happens here at the CBA but I feel like it's kind of a competitive advantage to get into a team's bullpen really in the season and early in a series. Yeah, I love my favorite. I think that's a really good game. As an example, but just how much to speak to that depth of the line of the hell for the 50s. It's a really great record. Yeah, it definitely does. I feel like the non-sacquality of us are battling. No one will kind of put her there or. I think overall just in general, it starts the series.

That's a clock hits midnight's new day and get out for it again and mom. Tony call me crazy. It sounds like the same guy that was talking when he couldn't hit earlier in the season. There doesn't seem like much difference there. You know me if I had to hit three home runs, I'd have been standing on my head doing the interview. That seemed like a guy that we heard three months ago. Yeah, it doesn't seem like a guy who just won 17 to three either. I'm still kind of getting the temperature of Breggman. I haven't been around him a whole lot, obviously, just part of this season. It was kind of interesting. I thought he would have been a little bit more, I don't know. Joy is happy, excited, whatever. So you're right though, I had the same thought during it that I was like, this doesn't seem like a guy who just hit three home runs in a game.
