In BP recently, hitting coach Anthony Iapoce was raving about what he was seeing from Caratini's swing from the right side. The Cubs' No. 2 catcher just roped a double off lefty Alex Wood in the first inning.

Tyler Chatwood reiterates this is the best he's ever felt:
"I think there's still a lot of untapped potential. Right now, it's the best I've ever been. I'm able to set up pitches, I'm able to see stuff, have confidence if I miss and come back with a breaking ball."

Oscar de La Cruz, a one-time Cubs top prospect, just struck out a pair in a scoreless eighth inning. 93-94 FB and 87-88 CH played well off each other.
