		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that Joe Maddon likes to rotate his players. Outside of Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant, no Cubs player reached two-thirds of the team&#8217;s games at one position, with only Jason Heyward (right field) and Kyle Schwarber (left) even topping 100. That philosophy extends to Maddon&#8217;s usage of his bench, from which many [&#8230;]]]></description>

So far it has been firmly established that he isn&#8217;t going to have a problem dancing during rain delays, so now that the important question has been answered, let&#8217;s focus entirely on the pitching side [&#8230;]]]></description>

That mark was the lowest since the last round of expansion in 1998 by a clear margin, beating the 116-win Mariners of 2001 by 5 points, and the [&#8230;]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t his 51 wRC+, or his .120 batting average, which were bad, but hardly remarkable given that worse marks in both categories have already been posted this season (if you think Schwarber was an ineffective leadoff hitter, Royals leadoff man Alcides Escobar has a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that the Cubs rotation has been different in 2017. Many would be quick to suggest that &#8220;different&#8221; is a nicer way of saying &#8220;bad&#8221;. While it&#8217;s certainly true that the results for the rotation have not been as good as in 2016, that does not in itself mean anything, nor does it [&#8230;]]]></description>
