I didn’t go to this game and, well, the Cubs didn’t much show up either, defeated by the Rangers 8-3. Cade Horton got cuffed around pretty good, serving up six hits, including three home runs. Horton worked 3.2 innings and threw 60 pitches. Was he working on mechanics or location? Maybe. Hopefully this is just […]

We use the word “playmaker” in damn near every sport that exists and the literal translation of it has nothing to do with waiting around for something to happen: it’s about making it happen.
