ST. LOUIS — Coming off a down year for his offense, manager David Ross had a simple message for his lineup of MVPs, All-Stars and 2016 World Series champions during spring training:
“Remember who you are.”
That message has gotten through to his club, and after a slow start, the Cubs’ offense has become one of the best in baseball in the last month.
Javy Baez, one of the players who got off to a slow start, came through in the 10th inning with a two-run home run in the Cubs’ 2-1 victory Sunday against the Cardinals.
