The going is weird. Cub Tracks™ turned pro a long time ago. Cub Tracks™. Where the great ones run away.

Cade Horton’s going to learn to paint better. He gets too much plate sometimes but he’s going to be just fine, I submit. That slider is a weapon. Once he can decorate the corners with it, he’ll be ridiculous. Was merely excellent Wednesday.

Kyle Tucker needed to think about hitting, just hitting, it looks like, and he did, and it worked.

Cubs meatloaf. Shoulda swept. Palencia atoned though. Caleb Thielbar has become a reliable arm, and Brad Keller is a rally killer.

Matt Shaw is the real deal. The King drove in both runs in a multi-hit game. Finestkind.

Redlegs next. Former Cincinnati Bearcat Ian Happ is likely looking forward to it.
