Since August 30th, CES is 11 for 26 (.423 BA), 3 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI and only 3 SO (but 0 BB).
Total line of .423/.423/.769/1.192 in 7 games.
Noelvi Marte, on the other hand, is batting .400/.478/.650/1.128 in the 6 games in September with 2 doubles and a HR with 2 BB, 1 HBP and just 3 SOs in 20 ABs.
To draw an equivalent to CES and include that August 30th game, his stats dip to .348/.444/.565/1.009 with 3 BB and 5 SOs in 23 ABs.
If these guys get hot over the next week or two, we could be riding high into a playoff spot!
Even Elly, who is NOTORIOUSLY streaky (Had a Golden Sombrero, followed by a 3 hit game, another Golden Sombrero, then 2 more games where he reached base 3 times) has gone .296/.406/.370/.776 with 4 BB, (10 SOs) 2 RBI, 3 SBs and 4 runs scored. He has been a major catalyst for some clutch RBIs and runs in those games as well.
And that's not all!
Jake Fraley is back and, in 6 games back (granted, two of them were just pinch hits), he has gone 6 for 13, 1 BB, 2 HBP (his poor toe!), only 2 SOs, 4 2Bs, 1 R and 1 RBI. A total line of .462/.563/.769/.1332
Super small sample size but God DAMN, that is a huge boost to our offense. And so clutch!
