The Rundown: Good, Bad and Ugly of Slow Start, Bryant on Career-Best Pace, MLB.TV Posting Record Numbers

My apologies to Sergio Leone this morning as I break down the first two weeks of the Cubs season in what is the slowest day in baseball since the day after Opening Day.

The Good

Kris Bryant appears to be over injuries that caused his poor and inconsistent play in 2020. The embattled third baseman leads the team in OPS (1.015) and SLG (.653) as nine of his 13 hits have gone for extra bases. With a 177 OPS+, the 29-year-old could very well be on his way to a career year.
