The best thing a veteran player can do for a younger teammate, according to Cubs manager David Ross, is buy him breakfast. "I was a breakfast in the morning guy and going back and taking a nap because Dave Roberts used to do that to me when I was in LA," Ross said."I say that to the guys in the room every year, those guys that are coming up will remember how you impacted their career much more than what you did on the field.
Before the game, Hosmer talked about why he chose to join the Cubs this season, while being well aware of the monster numbers Mervis posted in the minors last year. "Because it's a good team. is the best feeling you can have in this game," said Hosmer, who won a World Series with Kansas City in 2015."I saw the way the team ended last year. I saw some of the moves they made in the offseason, I knew about some of the guys coming up.
Mervis struck out, but Madrigal stepped up next and ripped a 2-run single to the right side, past the drawn-in infield. "Baseball gods, man. Sometimes you hit it hard, it goes straight to a fielder," Amaya said."I just got jammed on my hands. I put it in play and things happened."
