He started the 2015 season with the Double-A Tennessee Smokies of the Southern League and played in the All-Star Futures Game, where he was named MVP after hitting a go-ahead, two-run triple for Team USA. He was moved up to the Cubs in 2015 and played as a designated hitter (DH) in interleague play. Kyle was a substitute catcher for Niguel Montero, then Kyle was sent back down to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs of the Pacific Coast League when Montero returned. Kyle returned to the majors on July 21; in a 5-4, extra-inning victory against the Cincinnati Reds, Schwarber hit a home run that tied the game in the ninth-inning and then hit another homer in the 13th for the victory. In the NL Wild Card game, he hit a long home run, driving in three runs for the victory and advancing to the Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. His two home runs aided the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Cards. The home run in game four was recorded as a mammoth smash to the top of the new Wrigley Field scoreboard, which was later encased in plexiglass and replaced on top of the scoreboard. In 2016 he suffered injuries that kept him away from many games, but he was added to the roster for the World Series against the Indians. His prior injuries forced him to be a DH. In the series he batted .412, had an on-base percentage of .500, had seven hits, one of which was a double, two RBIs and a stolen base. He had a tough early season in 2017 and was sent back to Triple-A. He was brought back up after the All-Star break. He belted five home runs, three doubles and a triple by August Stop & Shop Saugus, MP Realty Group, Nazzaro Family and Val Kappa Art. For more information, please call 781-233-1855. Help us fill the Thanksgiving baskets Debora de Paula Hoyle, Administrative Assistant at the Cliftondale Congregational Church, sent along the following request for help, on behalf of the Saugus United Parish Food Pantry: It’s that time of year again! The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry is gearing up to provide Thanksgiving baskets to neighbors experiencing food insecurity this holiday. Each basket consists of a frozen turkey, fresh produce, and non-perishable Thanksgiv12, but he had struck out 106 times in 300 plate appearances. In September he hit .288 with an OPS of .954. To the plate 59 times in September, he hit six home runs for a season total of 30. During the off-season Schwarber started a very strict workout program and lost 30 pounds. In the 2018 season he hit .238 with 26 home runs, 14 doubles and 61 RBIs. In 2019 he batted .250 with 38 home runs and 92 RBIs. On defense he had the worst percentage of all NL leftfielders with a percentage of .974 and six errors. In 2020 he batted .188 with the lowest batting average of all qualified NL batters. The Cubs non-tendered Schwarber in December. In January 2021 the Washington Nationals signed Kyle to a one-year contract with an option for 2022. He played in 72 games for the Nationals, batting .253 with 25 homers and 53 RBIs. Kyle was traded to the Red Sox on July 29, 2021, while ining staples like cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, boxed mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables. We welcome clients to register to receive a Thanksgiving basket by Friday, November 12 at 11 a.m. Pick up information will be provided upon registering. We also count on the generosity of the community. We are seeking donations of food items, grocery store gift cards, and financial contributions. Deliveries may be brought to the side door of the Cliftondale Congregational Church (the driveway between the church and the MEG building) on any Friday morning through Nov. 19 between 8-11 a.m. The Saugus United Parish Food jured. He was activated from the list on August 13. On October 18 in the 2021 ALCS game three, he whacked a Grand Slam in the bottom of the third, the third grand-slam in two games by the Sox, a record for the most slams by a team in a playoff series. Although not a great fielder, he has performed well enough at Fenway and away, and his bat was instrumental in sidelining Bobby Dalbec from his first base position. Schwarber is a formidable hitter who was undervalued through most of his career, but he has proven to be a very valuable hitter for the Sox. That is the history of the added players that Bloom has brought to the Red Sox. That brings us to the valuation of Chaim Bloom. Although his objective is to secure new young talent to the Sox, he is adding older talent in the interim, until the youngsters in Worcester and later drafts become able to swing the pendulum. We pin our hopes on next season. Pantry is an all-volunteer, collaborative, nonprofit, religious organization composed of the town’s churches and community members; donations are tax deductible. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that our neighbors in need enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving! For more information, please contact 781 233 2663, or email cliftondalecc.org.
