It’s game time! The Cubs start playing “real” games today with a split squad day. Lots of players will get their first look of the season at opposing hitters and pitchers. More importantly, we’re one day closer to opening day and the chance to DEFEND THE TITLE.
Deciding on what to write during a spring training that is projected to have few, if any, heated roster battles is tough. I can’t keep track of the Maddon slogan du jour nor do I have a lot of interest in emojis. The Ferrari was pretty cool, but mostly what is happening is lots of drills of the pitcher covering first and the outfielder hitting the proper cut-off man.
