Cubs 12, Rangers 4

OSS: Cubs bats come alive, win comfortably in season opener

Three up:

  1. Javy Baez homered twice, and drove in four runs. Not a bad start for last year’s MVP runner-up. Perhaps more importantly, he also worked a full count in his first PA. The dude seems like he is picking up where he left off last year.
  2. The Cubs overall drew 8 walks on the day, and all nine starters got on base at least once, as well as at least one R+RBI. Definitely a team effort all around, even if Javy led the show.
