Asking for an update after returning from 2 weeks away
A few questions, if you don't mind the fanshot. I've been in rural Peru and have seen no Cub games for two weeks.
1. Has the approach at the plate changed in general (i.e., more patience), or has the increased offense been due more to facing poor pitching?
2. Has Jake Fox continued to play decently in the field, and did he catch any innings?
3. What is different about Harden the second half?
4. Other than Lilly and Johnson, any minor injuries that seem to be affecting Cub players?
Thanks!

1. Yes it has changed a bit but not drastically
2. Jake Fox has done well in the field, and he caught 1 or 2 innings (not sure) and he made some nice plays, but he also had trouble catching Stevens curve.
3. Hardens velocity has increased in the second half, and there has been a bigger difference in speed between his fastball and changeup. He also has more command.
4. You could say Sori’s knee, but I don’t think that’s bothering him anymore, and if it is, it doesn’t have an effect. You probably just forgot, but Soto is on the DL too.
