Looking better at the plate.. gotta lay off taking big swings at pitches off plate and make them get closer to plate

Its a very fine line the Cubs have to play with Baez. You dont want him to change his approach because its why he is an XBH machine, but you want to harness it. He will always have swing and miss and he will always swing like he is trying to kill someone. They have to tweak him to take his walks and to drive the mistakes.

I heard cubs weren't going to do anything with him as far as adjustment this year.. Their just gonna let him be and work on whatever needs to be worked on in off season.

I dont mind the big swings , he just needs to show a better eye on pitches he swinging at.

he gotta lay off those fastballs or breaking balls off the plate like he did that last AB and force pitcher to come in more on him..

They don't need to tweak him. He made the adjustments in AAA to take more walks. They expect to get him his 50 games, go into the off-season and let him focus on whatever changes he needs to make at the MLB level then.

They are on pace for 70 wins. It's almost like the 70-75 win prediction I had before the season might be right *gasp* :D
