Great End to a Great Month

The Cubs closed April a blow out of the Brewers, 19-5. Toni Ginnetti recaps what made this one of their best starts ever.

They cultivated an offense that leads the National League in hitting (.286) and ranked second in drawing walks.

One of the players that is making the Cubs more selective at the plate is Geovany Soto. While he's averaging nearly a strikeout per game, he's also drawn 15 walks for a .427 OBA and his two home runs last night bring his total to five on the season and his slugging percentage to .621. The team will trade the strikeouts for that kind of selectivity and power any day.

And after 8 strikeouts in a row! Under Dusty Hank White would be the new starting catcher.
