Nice to watch a replay of the Cubs-Reds game today. Generally the Cubs pitching has looked good. Wood was pretty dominant this afternoon. Not much hitting today from either side. The game was decided early when Denorfia hit a two-run homer off Cueto.
Bryant did not play, but he has certainly been impressive thus far. Wonder what excuse the Cubs will have for not starting his free agent clock on opening day. Defense? I mean, the guy has hit a home run in every fourth at-bat and is batting nearly .500.
On the other side of the ledger, I do not see much improvement in Baez. Still the same exaggerated swing; still the same woeful results. His strikeout today was on a pitch that must have been two feet off the plate. Baez is clearly pressing. He may or may not have genuine major league ability, but it is pretty clear he is over-matched now.
