The Cubs took down the Rangers today, including beating up on old friend, Jesse Chavez. And it was Cole Hamels, himself a former Ranger, of course, who started against his old mates:
Cubs win!

Asked if he might retire after the 2019 season, Cole Hamels emphatically said "Hell no!" Said his goal is to pitch until he's 45. "I played with Jamie Moyer."

Spring stats don't mean anything but Joe Maddon likes his guys taking walks when they're there: "The plate discipline side, it's always good to see that…You can get into a bad habit (of chasing)." The Cubs are 2nd in free passes this spring. 26 BB in 5 games
