This year is what it is, and it might be what it is for only so long. So while it is what it is, I’m gonna keep trying to enjoy it. And last night’s game, including the energy the Cubs were showing, made it really easy to enjoy.
“Do that thing that everybody loves.”
That’s Anthony Rizzo’s daily message to Javy Báez, according to David Bote (via Jordan Bastian), but really this could be about the team as a whole.
Do that thing that everybody loves. Thank you for that. And thank you for doing it. And thank you to Rizzo for leading:
Javy Baez, on how much fun the Cubs are having as a group through the first five games:
"That's been a big thing here in that clubhouse. We're having more fun than anything, I think. Rizzo has been crazy, trying to make us be together. And it's working."
