Manager Craig Counsell looked energized, crediting baseball’s emotional rollercoaster for turning things around. Fans, once anxious after a promising season, are breathing easier — especially with Shota Imanaga dominating in his last two starts.

Shortstop Dansby Swanson is nearing his return, adding defensive stability. Despite the pressure cooker of Chicago fandom, team president Jed Hoyer insists this high-stakes ride is still winnable — and October is where they aim to shine.
