Not all that long ago, certain segments of Cubs fandom were begging for Dansby Swanson to be benched or even released. It’s a good thing Craig Counsell doesn’t let social media influence his decisions, because Swanson’s exploits would be drawing loads more attention were it not for Pete Crow-Armstrong‘s heroics over the last month. Interestingly …
