Cubs (Ryu) vs D'backs (TBA; Halsey traded) 2 PM WGN Radio

[Omar]

Great weather for Arizona to be wearing black shirts.

[Omar]

Counsell strikes out. 1 down.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Counsell K's.

 

Ryu is looking filthy.

 

One out.

[Omar]

What's happening?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Game is being delayed because of a bee problem in the Diamondbacks' dugout.

[Bruce Miles]

Bruce - Who, if anybody, is currently the favorite to win the 5th starting spot in the rotation?

 

IMO, it's Marshall. I raised the question yesterday if one of those guys could move into the 4th spot. Dusty said no.

[Omar]

Hudson with a double.

While I doubt any take Rusch or Williams's job out of spring, could one of them pitch well enough to keep it when Wood or Prior return?

Wild pitch, Hudson on 3rd.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Hudson doubles down the rightfield line.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pitch gets away from Barrett and Hudson goes to third.

[Omar]

Fly out, 2 down... Hudson who was on 3rd scores. 1-0 D'Backs.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Tracy hits a sac fly, 1-0 Dbacks. 2 out.

[soccer10k]

I think HHH and vance need to coordinate this so we don't get two play by plays.

[Omar]

Luis Gonzalez doubles. still 2 outs.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Gonzalez doubles off the top of the RF wall.

 

Ryu getting rattled a bit here.

[Omar]

First round draft pick Conner Jackson up! He's on my fantasy team... as he singles an RBI.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jackson singles to right center, Gonzalez scores. 2-0 Diamondbacks.

[Omar]

Pop up, inning over. Let's go Cubbies!! 2-0 Arizona.

[Splendid_Splinter]

Shawn Green ends the inning with a popup. 2-0 Arizona
