Morel's power surge continues, but Cubs suffer third straight loss in Houston. McGrawDHSports Cubs
When the Cubs were piecing together the 2023 roster last winter, they didn't leave a position open for Christopher Morel.
But then Morel blasted a 3-run homer in the fourth inning, which evened the score and made up for the earlier miscue. "It seems like nothing major," Cubs manager David Ross said after the game."We'll see how he wakes up in the morning. He's icing it now. All the checks the doc did, ligaments and things seem to be OK."
What is Morel's ceiling as a power hitter? One problem with the Cubs this season has been the lack of consistent slug. This seems to be a collection of decent hitters in need of a couple of big bats to anchor the lineup. The power numbers have come with a downside. Morel's night Monday featured the 3-run homer and 4 strikeouts. One of the strikeouts was the result of a pitch-clock violation. A reasons listed for starting the season at Iowa was to work on cutting down on strikeouts.
