• quick schedule check with the Angels at Wrigley and Cleveland ahead
• Cade Horton’s efficiency and why his style is so hard to face
• Ian Happ’s hard contact and handling a bigger lineup role
• missed chances on Sunday and frustration with solo homers
• Wrigley Field beer prices and the pitch clock concessions theory
• early read on Alex Bregman’s dugout vibe and on-field look
• Nico Horner’s six-year deal and how service time changes player pay
• why elite up-the-middle defense supports pitching to weak contact
• Shota Imanaga watch and why the whiffs matter
