Woodruff played catch yesterday and was scheduled to throw a bullpen in the next couple of days. I think the "pause" was a bit over blown. Not everything is going to go perfectly in a recovery but not every adjustment is the same as the sky falling.
I have no doubt that the Cubs will put more runs on the board but you have far more faith in this lineup than I do and a few good games against the Pirates isn't going to fool me. Until the offense proves to be consistent, they have earned the pessimism.
