4/2/18 Cubs (Chatwood) @ Reds (Mahle) 3:10 PM CST NBC Sports Chicago

[philosophizer75]

I didn't think I would be needed to start one of these until at least the ASB (I mean come on, I was the THIRD NAME on the list), but the fish flopped a little more than expected. Oh well..

 

This time we get to see a battle of Tylers.

 

Our good Tyler who is going to help us continue using the Reds as the NL Central whipping boys:

 

who kinda looks like a nicer, gentler Arrieta.

 

vs. the Reds' bad Tyler:

 

who kinda looks like he is a sophomore in high school.

 

The Cubs are gonna sweep this series methinks.

If the Cubs split, is it okay since it’s a road series? Asking for a friend. :D

If we get to the home opener next week with a .500 record and everyone healthy I’m perfectly fine with that, if that’s what you’re asking

[PackLandVA]

I’m actually not asking. It was a reference to today’s game thread. Hence the smiley.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I forgot we were facing the Reds. We'll be leaving town as the SuperCubs.

I think the Cubs were victimized by the Gods of variance in Miami. They hit the ball hard for the most part and pitched pretty well given a widely inaccurate strike zone. I was pleased with Hewyard's swing and contact (when he made contact). I'm not worried in the least. It's going to be different because of the weather, but I expect the Cubs to win both games.

Buncha unclutch bums

Chatwood only at 92-93 first few pitches...... isn’t he usually more around 94-96?

Guys pickup up a tick as the season goes on. I'm more concerned with the fact he doesn't know where the ball is going. At all.

Walking two guys in front of Votto is a strategy I hadn't thought of...

[BigbadB]

No need to nibble. It's the Reds!

[soccer10k]

Chatwood off to a great start.

[BigbadB]

Strike 3 to Votto was a thing of beauty.

[Banedon]

lol, walks two no names and then strikes out Votto on 3 pitches.

[Agony and Ivy]

Lol walk Cliff Pennington strikeout Votto. You do you Chatty.

Jason Heyward at his best: Making the opposing pitcher throw a bunch of pitches before getting him out.

Javy triple!
