They sure look good so far, but it's a long season. Some guys are hitting way above their career averages. But others are below too (Danby), so who knows.

Let’s see if yesterday can get PCA going. Think it will.

I bet it will take 40 games to get Shaw rolling too. He still looks non compete at the plate. Similar to PCA last year when he first came up.

That was a nice win- holding that lineup to just 1 run in 10 is an accomplishment.

Good lord... what a Friday at Wrigley. Cubs up 2-1 today going into the bottom of the 7th against the Dbacks... they end up winning 13-11.

I love the offense but at some point the pitching needs to be addressed.

Well, that was fun!

King Tuck makes the rest of the lineup so much better.

Cubs lighting it up again today. Just checked some stats: Cubs 3rd in home runs, OPS and average. Such a difference over a few years ago, when it seemed like we barely had anyone hitting above .250, and many under .225.

Best pure hitter in the whole org behind King Tuck!

Kid has lost a bunch of weight, nutrition getting dialed, and improving as a catcher. That bat is ridiculous to all fields with power. If he can be our future catcher our offense would be ridiculous with Tuck, Busch and PCA.

Ballesteros is my fav player in the farm. Hes going to be a star.

Mo Baller is currently outplaying the supposed best prospect in the game, Roman Anthony. So, yeah, a serious potential impact player.

For real. He's atleast playing like one so far this season.

He has become a guy you can count on to work the count and take smart swings. I think the last guy we had who comes close to that is Rizzo, but Tucker has a lot more pop in his bat and better speed.

Really a great player in all aspects of the game.

Fly the W!!!

These Cubbies are built different. Resilient. Clutch. Winners.

Even better against the Dodgers.

We get some bullpen help and we could be dangerous.

BTW PCA looks like a superstar.
King Tuck is a superstar!

Yet another wild game, it's like October baseball in April.

Amaya's game tying HR was cold-blooded

Saw the Cubs were ahead 7-4, then it was 7-8, then 7-10, and next time I checked, 10-10, and then a win in the 10th. Vs. the Dodgers yet. They keep winning against some of the best teams in the league. Wait til they start playing the not so great teams...
