Hello, Astros fans!
The Cubs have a couple of your old friends on their active roster, so let’s talk about them first.
Kyle Tucker, obviously, is a great hitter and has been a huge boost to the Cubs offensively. One thing we did not know about Tucker before he came to the Cubs is how good a base stealer he is. Sure, he had 30 a couple of years ago but not only is he fifth in the NL with 18, he’s been caught only once.
