1.) Super happy to see Czar Szczur starting. Especially in Coors.

 

2.) LOL, did the Rockies just up and decide to copy Maddon's batting the pitcher 8th? This is hilarious.

[sneakypower]

i've seen the Mets do it, too

[ctcf]

The Rockies did, however, bat their pitcher 9th the first three games this season.

[UMFan83]

3 games, 3 catchers.

 

Please have a good game so we can trade you

We're gonna have the FRESHEST catchers, dude.

[Andy]

Feel weirdly good about today. I predict at least 6 runs and a win.

[treebird]

i guess the giant denver outfield is a terrible match for coghlan's quicksand defense* but i sure do wish we didn't have to pretend szczur could do things.

 

also i thought wood was the guy montero's framing was going to help the most.

 

 

*h/t vv

[treebird]

also olt is batting 5th and it's not as demonstrably wrong as i would like it to be. get here soon, kris.

Matzek is left handed. Szczur is the Denorfia stand-in.

[Gmoney08]

Think about how awesome this team is going to be, and then this lazy-eyed, neck-tattooed mook is gonna be killing their dong-momentum for God knows how long.

 

LET'S MOVE ONWARD AND UPWARD.

 

What in the world does this mean?

i was weirdly confident matzek was right handed.

 

still doesn't mean i think szczur should be anything more than a defensive replacement though.

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales

Schlitter up, Grimm DL (arm) retro to 4/2

[KingCubsFan]

If Schlitter gets in this series, he's going to give up at least 5 runs.

well, [expletive]

[DiamondMind]

If Schlitter is in any game at all in this series, we'll lose.

The Rockies did a moment of science for Ernie Banks. Classy

[JonJayCutler]

I've always liked that organization.

[ctcf]

They have a dinosaur for crying out loud

I suspect we'll see a lot of that going on for road games.

I haven't had EI in a few years, is it normal for them to only have the home feed?

[Sammys Boombox]

That's a lot of empty seats for a home opener. I wonder how early before gametime they did the lineups/moment of silence.

[Sammys Boombox]

No. It's because the Cubs are not on WGN America this game. It's going to SUCK!

They're never on WGN America anymore.
