If he can sustain it down the stretch and keep from getting injured (again). Hopefully Grifol won't hold him out of these two Cubs' games as well.

(Let's not forget he was leading Kyle Lewis for 2020 Rookie of the Year and then it just all fell apart down the stretch.)

 

Not shockingly, no mention of Wander Franco despite heroics on walk off Friday, either.

This is not the All-MLB announcement; that happens in December.

"While what happens over the next several weeks will go a long way toward determining the 2023 All-MLB Team, it’s worth taking a look at where things stand right now. To that end, a group of MLB.com writers got together to vote on who they think will wind up being named All-MLB at season’s end."

I think it's close between Soto and Robert for the third first team spot. Soto's offensive numbers aren't significantly better (aside from the fact that walks 4x as much) but Robert is far and away a better defender at a premium position. Soto is one of the worst defenders in the league, can't completely write that off. 

Anyone know when Robert closed his stance? Haven’t been watching much, so it could’ve been weeks ago for all I know, but today was the first time I noticed.

Ps I fucking love his reaction here

Absolutely embarrassing home run call.  Just play Hawk recordings instead of whatever that was.
