The Chicago Cubs third baseman hasn't had a great postseason so far, but he still looked ecstatic in a candid moment with his wife Danielle.

Matt Shaw hasn't exactly been Mr. October so far, but he and his wife Danielle celebrated like every Chicago Cubs fan anyway.

The Cubs third baseman is still hitless for the MLB playoffs, including a very forgettable three-strikeout performance in the must win Game 3 against the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card series, which Chicago won 3-1 with a controversial strike call in the ninth inning to put the game away. (Padres players had to be held back as the umpires left the field.)

On the other side of the field, Cubs players were celebrating their first playoff series victory since 2017, including the 23 year old and his wife Danielle, who have been in the spotlight for other reasons away from the field. So it was probably a huge weight off of their shoulders to enjoy a "Fly the W" victory at Wrigley Field.

Shaw does not have an Instagram account, and after about a month hiatus, Danielle was back yesterday to share some fun, candid moments after the "W," including a photo of both of them smiling ear-to-ear with the former Cubs first-round pick lifting his wife up for a big hug.

Danielle overlayed the photo with the caption, "go freakin cubs."

Mrs. Shaw also shared another Cubs WAGs celebration photo with pitcher Cade Horton's wife Blaire in a fun selfie, with the caption, "on to the next."

Next is their NL central rival Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Division Series.

Hopefully Shaw can get out of his playoffs slump and Danielle continues to share the fun, as she just did with a photo dump of all the good times from the Cubs playoff "W"s.
