Ian Happ leads off in center, Willson Contreras is behind the plate, Anthony Rizzo is at first, and Kris Bryant is at third for what would be the cleanup spot if anyone could actually reach base ahead of him. Joc Pederson is in left, Javy Báez is at short, Jason Heyward is in right, and Eric Sogard is at second.
Boy, that is an interesting combo at the bottom of the order, particularly after last night’s online shenanigans. That’s a little esoteric for those of you who aren’t chronically online, but suffice to say it’s really not the kind of thing you want to have creeping into the clubhouse.
