DENVER — Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel described the team’s offensive dynamic as “fun to be a part of.” Outfielder Ian Happ characterized its plate discipline and sheer number of hits as “pretty impressive.”
In a 6-4 victory against the Rockies on Sunday, the Cubs’ lineup racked up 13 base knocks. It was the fourth consecutive game that the Cubs have recorded double-digit hits and the fifth this season. Though it’s too early to put too much stock in those statistics, the way the team has generated runs has started to establish a new offensive identity.
