The Cubs have only two spring games left, both against a Braves team that trekked all the way from their preseason base of CoolToday Park in North Port, FL. This little stopover helps them adjust to the time, and perhaps the change in climate, prior to facing the Padres in San Diego to open the season. Meanwhile, the Cubs are just trying to keep everyone warm after a Tokyo Series that continues to look like something of a trainwreck in terms of its timing.
On the hill for the home team is righty Brad Keller, who looks like one of the team’s primary long relievers after a strong showing early.
