man, great contact by Ross. I guess that's some defensive karma since Harrison nearly grabbed Szczur's hit

He's actually been having some good AB's and making some good contact lately. Did it only take him til his age 39 season to learn how to hit a little bit?

Where do the Cubs rank in terms of pitches seen per plate appearance or pitches seen per inning? It seems like every other game the starter throws about 45 pitches in the first 2 innings.
