Chicago Cubs: David Ross already sees what Joe Maddon didn’t

David Ross has already decided that Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo will bat first and second in the Chicago Cubs lineup more often than not in 2020. Under former manager Joe Maddon, Bryant found himself in the two hole quite a bit and and Rizzo usually hit third, which is OK.

The issue is that Maddon would have guys like Albert Almora or Jason Heyward leading off, which, more often than not, meant the team’s two best hitters came up to start the game with one out and nobody on.
