Cubs 5, Tigers 2: The Javy and Willson show
Javier Baez is the most exciting player in baseball, and I don’t say that just because he plays for the team I support.
Baez has great instincts in just about every aspect of his game, and even though you’ll have to put up with the strikeouts that look really bad, he’s having an All-Star caliber season. Joe Maddon’s with me:
#Cubs Maddon on Baez: "Who's more exciting to watch than he is? ... He's in that top 10 kind of part of the Rat Pack from back in the day. You had to go to Vegas to see him. He's one of those guys -- he sashayed in with Sinatra and the boys. That's how he plays baseball"
