The Cubs have a baseball game to play tonight, and everyone still seems to be with the team who was with the team yesterday.
Jake Arrieta makes the start, opposing Jimmy Nelson, who frustrated Cubs hitters a bit back in May in back-to-back starts. Here’s hoping they remember how he did it and can adjust.
Of course, the lineup is pretty different from back then, so maybe that’s a start.
