How do you follow "The Tyler Chatwood Game?" With "The Taylor Davis Game," of course! The Cubs 3rd catcher blasted a grand slam in the middle game of a 3-game sweep that put the Cubs into first place. Taylor's granny was so fun, Kris Bryant stole his idea the next day. It seems like *almost* everyone in this rotation and lineup is clicking now, Rizzo's hot, and Javy & Willson might be the best players in the world at their positions. NBD. Follow us!
