No more fucking around. No more experimenting at leadoff. This is the Cubs lineup Joe Maddon should be using most of the way in the final four weeks of the season. Finally, since May, all the big names are the lineup, as Kris Bryant returns after getting Tuesday off with a sore knee, and Javier Báez comes back after missing two games with a jammed thumb.
