“It’s important to recognize that it is up and down, it’s just a way of baseball,” Kris Bryant said. “You go up and down and it means you’re living, when it’s flat it means you’re dead. I mean, it’s as simple as that. So you ride the waves and realize that, hey, it’s not always gonna go your way, keep your head up, come out ready to play.”

On paper, Simmons has the perfect skills to complement Zach LaVine in the backcourt. Simmons is young and could be the playmaker the team has lacked while cleaning up some shaky backcourt defense. LaVine is an elite scorer and offensive player, but can still get exposed at times defensively. Simmons is an elite defensive player, but in crunch time during the playoffs he’s been a liability on the offensive end. Finding a way to pair those two with Nikola Vučević, who shot over 40% from 3 this year, could work wonders.
Cubs shortstop Javier Baez walks to the dugout in the bottom of the fourth inning against the Indians on Monday at Wrigley Field. Baez should have run back to first base on an Anthony Rizzo flyout but appeared to have lost track of the number of outs and was doubled up, ending the inning. Manager David Ross removed Baez from the game after the gaffe. (Terrence Antonio James / Chicago Tribune)
