He had better learn. This is Davis Ross' last season and after he is no longer around to help minimize the issue, teams may exploit this weakness to a far greater degree. Plus, he's a damn professional and not being able to throw to bases is a damn disgrace.

It wasn't "tanking" it was "long term planning".

Fail. Beckham will never get a statue. The meaningless HR that was encased in plexiglass was a very real thing.

Cubs' hitters are hot right now. Start this season immediately.

Montero, Rizzo, Fowler, Bryant, Zobrist and Russell all have OPS of .800 or higher. (In descending order) Heyward and Schwarber are just under.
