It’s been almost *takes hands from keyboard to count on fingers* six months since the Cubs were able to use a DH in a game that mattered, so it’s kinda fun that they’ll do so again tonight in Boston. Kyle Schwarber remains in the leadoff spot, but this time he’ll be doing so without having to play the field, a skill that was recently brought into question yet again after a play he didn’t make in Pittsburgh. Because of course.
It’s more of the same after that, with Kris Bryant up second, followed by Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist, and Addison Russell.
