Here at CUB TRACKS NEWS AND NOTES™, we like to keep things brief on the principle that it makes us appear wise. We don’t always, but we like to.
The Cubs were going for the sweep Wednesday, behind rising star Adbert Alzolay, fielding a makeshift lineup and fighting the general weirdness in the air. I can see how the umps made that call in the fourth, and yes, the collision was terrible, but that doesn’t mean the third-base coach and the runners need to lose their damn minds. I’m surprised Javy didn’t go out and start directing traffic.
