CUBS WIN! Over .500!

[Tryptamine]

Not sure how to react, I'm used to being on the other side of this kind of game.

Dexter Fowler...I think I love you!!

[Clem Fandango]

With today's win this is the Cubs 3rd day above .500 since the beginning of the 2010 season

I know it's early and optimism abounds, but the Rox announcers are borderline delusional about the quality of their club.

[George Hayduke]

This is pleasing!

lol, yeah. This game was really pissing me off through 8.2 innings.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-1 when they give up 5 runs.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Bullpen looks great, loving Alcantara's approach and the overall aggressiveness on the bases, and once Bryant gets here, this lineup is going to be sick. Going to be a fun year.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol that pitch was such vintage hawkins. jump ahead 0-2 then inexplicably throw a belt-high, middle of the plate meatball.

[XZero771679666304]

I'm not too worried about the offense. If they keep getting runners on, things will sort themselves out. There have been some bad ABs, but quite a bit of bad babip luck. I do have a little bit of (irrational, hopefully) growing fear about Rizzo, though.

I wish I could have watched this, but MLBTV was being a [expletive] [expletive] [expletive].

Why? I think Rizzo has had some really good at bats, least of our worries.

This team is good. This team is going to be awesome once Bryant, Russell, Edwards, and Rivero are here.

There were a few times when Hawkins was ahead in the count that the catcher motioned for him to keep the ball down, and every time he elevated it. In the Olt AB, it turned into top of the zone heater. When I saw him motion to keep the ball down on the 0-2 to Fowler, I had a feeling a meatball might be coming.

Like I said, it's irrational. He has put together good ABs, and has been victimized by some really bad strike calls early.

 

On the other hand, Soler's approach hasn't seemed to be quite what is was in ST, at least not consistently, thus far. I'm sure he'll settle down.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Next game is on WPWR? They need to throw a few more networks into the mix.

I'm blacked out of the Cubs' broadcasts down here, but it was worth it to hear the Rox broadcast in the ninth today.

 

And really, outside of the ninth it was a pretty aggravating game to watch.

Not blacked out here; the game's TV feeds just wouldn't ever kick in.

We're back, baby!

I hate baseball.

I love baseball.

We're back, baby!

Edit: Only thing missing was Santo yelling "Alright!" or other stuff!!
