The Rundown: Cubs Hit Vegas For The Weekend, Team Is Go For Launch, Pace of Play Comes to MiLB

Well, the dog days of Spring Training have hit me in the form of writer’s block. The heart of the matter here is that there is just not a lot of original stuff to write about because from Day 1 everything has pretty much been set: roster, rotation, lineup, and bullpen. The only significant battle of Camp ’18 has been for the leadoff spot in the batting order, and Ian Happ has stepped up significantly with a 1.556 Cactus League OPS that includes five taters.

Not that the team is boring.
