Your experience may be different than mine, but I think above everything else, I just don’t want to see any top prospects sent off to improve this team. One of those ever present reminders of trade deadline deals past. Ex-Cub prospect Eloy Jimenez doubled leading off the fifth. While the Cubs were rolling to a 4-0 start, he was throwing four perfect innings. Kyle Hendricks had a role to play in the quick start as well. That one was with the bases empty, but at 4-0 in the fourth, that would end up being all of the runs the Cubs would need. For good measure he homered again in his second at bat. Christopher Morel went back-to-back and the White Sox were in a lot of trouble. Tuesday’s Superhero, Dansby Swanson, wasted no time getting things going with a two-run homer in his first at bat. This saved me from having to deep dive to see if any player has ever won four consecutive Superhero awards in the history of this series. After the off day and on to the other side of town, it was a different free agent signing taking his turn wearing the Superhero cape. In three wins this weekend over the Cardinals, free agent signees Cody Bellinger and Jameson Taillon took turns in the spotlight giving the Cubs a lift as they try to get back into contention.
