Spring Training Miscellany: Cubs Score 24, Which Rhymes and Is Also Silly Fun to Watch
The Cubs laced up the ole pigskin today, finding the end zone three times and tacking on a field goal before the fourth quarter wrapped up.
Cubs find the end zone three times, and a non-Cody Parkey kick gets them to 24. Cubs win. @BN_Bears pic.twitter.com/z7VlWNLt4o

- Would you like to watch a six-run inning, a five-run inning, and a seven-run inning? Cheers:
- The Cubs’ lineup was mostly minor leaguers and bench guys, but they all raked today. David Bote had four hits, Mark Zagunis had two hits and two walks, Victor Caratini had two hits, Cristhian Adames had three hits, and Phillip Evans had four hits, including a double and a homer.
- On the pitching side of things, Tyler Chatwood had another walk-less, scoreless inning (two strikeouts), and Dillon Maples struck out the only three guys he faced.
- New Cub Tim Collins also got in a scoreless inning of work.
- Yu Darvish made his last tuneup start on the minor league side, and it went well:

- A little Theo on Happ:
Epstein didn’t go into specifics re Happ’s swing but pretty obvious he has to shore up a hole. Said yesterday was a tough day at camp.

- Briefly former Cub, and now-retired lefty Jaime Garcia was in Cubs camp today:
