The Rundown: Báez & Quintana Lead Cubs, Russell Nears Return, Maddon Brand Expanding, Arrieta Calls Out Phillies Teammates

It’s fun to watch the regional, national, or opposing team broadcasts of Cubs games because announcers seem so genuinely amazed by Javier Báez. The thing is, to those of us who get to see him play regularly, Báez never ceases to astound us, either.

As much fun as that kind of stuff is, I was more impressed with José Quintana last night. The lefty is really on a roll and had his third consecutive outstanding start in last night’s 7-2 win over the Dodgers.
