CHICAGO (CBS) – The Cubs arrived early Thursday back in Chicago after Game 2 win over the Indians, ready for some rest and preparation before Friday’s Game 3.
The weather was cold and damp, similar to the conditions they played in Wednesday night in Cleveland.
Kris Bryant kept his hoodie on and Maddon was seen wearing a winter hat. Jake Arrieta carried his sleepy child out to the car. Anthony Rizzo and Jon Lester both had their arms full of boxes.
Kyle Schwarber went straight to his car. All are wondering on whether he will play Friday in the outfield. Maddon said it depends on what the doctors say.
“Obviously he looks good, running bases,” Maddon said. “I talked to him before bat. Good to go, in terms of running, watching him does not show he is inhibited.”
“We’ll see,” Schwaber said. “Have not tried it, take it day by day…This is the moment we live for when we were kids. Play in the World Series. Talk small step today, long way to go.”
The Cubs evened up the series, with both teams winning one game apiece.
Joe Maddon announced Wednesday that there will be a mandatory work out on Thursday ahead of Friday’s first home game.
Game 3 pitchers will be Kyle Hendricks versus Josh Tomlin. Hendricks played an incredible game at home Saturday night. He will have had five full days of rest by Friday’s game.
