The Cubs (39-15) go for the sweep of the Diamondbacks (24-34) this afternoon from Wrigley. Jake Arrieta (9-0, 1.56) gets the ball opposite Patrick Corbin (2-5, 4.96) for Arizona. Go Cubs Go.

When/if the Cubs make a trade for another starting pitcher or reliever they don't include Baez. I really like how he's developed both offensively and defensively. You can just see his confidence grow.

I like everything about his approach. He seems to have the right attitude and approach to work. I love when he lays down those bunts. He's already a star in the field though he's still developing there.

My only concern is that long swing. Lots of holes there, but I think he has the right attitude and work ethic where he will adjust eventually.

When are the Cubs going to expand the scoreboard so the other 3 games can be listed?

I agree his swing needs to improve. Without looking up the numbers I would venture to say his strikeouts are down from last year. Ultimately, I would like to see Beaz at third and Bryant moved to left field. Not to say Bryant's defensive skills are bad; Beaz seems to have a slight edge as far as defensive skills are concerned.

Although he has 11k's he seems to be leaving a lot of pitches up in the zone.

I wish the offense would nut up and give him some runs

If Baez can keep working on his approach at the plate he will be lethal over time.

I would have gambled with pinch hitting Heyward over Montero there.

Two out of three hurts the winning percentage.

And 8 put of 10. Hate to lose when we seemingly had such a pitching matchup advantage, but I guess Jake was due for a loss.
