Theo Epstein states that the Cubs morale is "fantastic."
Moraleis defined as the confidence, enthusiasm, and discipline of a person or group at a particular time: example, their morale was high.
The word's origin is 18th Century French from "moral," respelled to preserve the final stress in pronunciation.
The real final stress of spring training and the Cubs is the fact that good morale does not equal a good, winning baseball team.
What we know is that exiled Brett Jackson is second on the spring team in RBIs with 7.
The Cubs have gone 9-10 in Cactus league play through Sunday; with 80 runs scored against 103 runs allowed (second worst in the league).
The starters have all had horrible springs: ERAs: Rusin 5.40, C. Villaneuva 5.87, T. Wood 5.90. Samardzija 6.39 and E. Jackson 7.20.
And the only truth be told this spring so far is that Mike Olt would make a fine DH. Except the Cubs play in a league without the designated hitter.
