Expected and deserved honors today for two of the Chicago Cubs’ best players, with Jake Arrieta taking home the NL Pitcher of the Month award for August, and with Kris Bryant getting Rookie of the Month nod:

Each player was hugely dominant – I can actually make an argument that Bryant should have been the player of the month, too – and was a huge part of why the Cubs had such a good August.
