For a long time Cubs fans have talked about Javy Baez’s potential, some even mentioned the word MVP. At first there were only flashes of his ability to dominate a game, with a lot of rough edges. In 2018, those rough edges are getting smoother and smoother. Friday night in Denver that game changing ability was out in abundance.
The Baez show began in the top of the 1st, Javy smoked a two-run opposite-field bomb off of Jon Gray to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. Kyle Hendricks had a shaky start of his own allowing three runs including a Nolan Arenado homer.
