""There are strange plays at Wrigley, for sure. But over the course of a year, I do feel like it plays to our advantage. Something since the beginning of his time here, Counsell has really emphasized is just dominating Wrigley, making it our own, embracing all the types of games that we have here.""
""The Cubs have won slugfests and games with 2-3 total runs because they have such a multifaceted offense. They're tied for fourth in MLB with 44 home runs, their .353 OBP remains the best in the league, and their 122 wRC+ is second.""
