- Javier Baez watches his fourth-inning shot leave the park yesterday. Jorge Soler homered before him and Kris Bryant after him. That was the good news.
The Cubs are finally turning the corner this season, you’ve probably heard. No, really, they are. Seriously. They’ve got a bunch of great young players! The sky’s the limit! The misery’s over!
I know, I know—it’s spring training, and it doesn’t matter if a team wins or loses. But if it doesn’t matter, couldn’t the Cubs win just once, as sort of an experiment? Or to prove to themselves that it’s possible?
But today’s another day! The Cubs are in their home park in Mesa this afternoon, entertaining the Dodgers. The north-siders’ new stud free agent, Jon Lester, will start. You can just sense that the team’s about to turn the corner.
