Remember when people were up in arms about Mark Zagunis starting in left over Kyle Schwarber on Opening Day? Feels like at least a week ago already, what with the whole off day after Opening Day thing. And in case you’re looking for more reason to be upset about that, I have it on good authority that new MLB.com Cubs beat writer, Michigan State alum Jordan Bastian, actually negotiated yesterday’s reprieve just so he could watch his alma mater in the NCAA tourney.
It is my sincere hope that at least on person takes that seriosly.
One of the many things the Cubs are taking more seriously is lineup construction.
