Since the last update in this series, the Cubs played five games and won four of them, the last four, so they enter this week on a high note and a four-game winning streak.
During those four games there were some good performances — as well as some not-so-great — so let’s take a look at both sides.
Three up
Cubs catchers had a really good hitting week
Miguel Amaya and Christian Bethancourt combined to bat .316/.381/.632 (6-for-19) with three doubles and a home run over the five games. That’s actually... really good!
Beyond that, they threw out two runners in four attempts over the five games, which is a pretty small sample size but still an improvement over previous efforts.
