7/26 Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Chatwood) 1:20 CT Marquee

[soccer10k]

CubsWin11 has been MIA since yesterday morning so I'm stepping in. As mojo pointed out to me, I predicted I'd start the third game of the year when I signed up.

 

I suppose I’ll start the third game of the year.

 

Would be nice to get the season started on the right foot with a series win. I'm not super optimistic because Chatwood is starting but who knows. Hope the offense shows up today and puts up a big number.

 

Go CUBS!!

What about those of us who are left-footed?

Heyward needs to be dropped in the order

3 straight days of no Almora starting is wonderful to see.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Len looking sharp today!

There is no position in the order that is low enough for him.

Just purchased the MLB plan for the season. Hopefully I'll enjoy watching Cubs baseball this summer (and fall).

I mean he had a wRC+ of 101 last year and 99 the year before so he’s basically been a league average hitter the last 2 seasons

7th would be nice. Then you would have Caratini and Happ good on base guys before Bryant and Rizzo.

 

Yes, Heyward had similar obp as those guys last year. But, whatever.

[PackLandVA]

In other news, Jake Cave with the 'slam in the first. Eloy bumps into the fence and goes down. Ends up staying in the game, but the guy seems a little fragile in the field/base paths in his short career. Twins 4-0, bottom of first.

[PackLandVA]

Not very often I like Heyward pounding a fastball into the ground at the 2nd baseman, but I'll take that one. At least he didn't K, and he got the run in.

[Derwood]

4-3's his way to an RBI

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It’s been so long that I had forgotten how much better JD is than basically every other analyst around

[UMFan83]

Ump has called that pitch 2 inches off the plate a strike about 6-7 times so far. So annoying

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Some goon on the Brewers is going to get one out with this wind, while Rizzo and Báez have theirs die at the track.

Chatty mowing them down

[PackLandVA]

ChatsuKKKKKK looking good thru 4. All six strikeouts swinging.

[Bull]

William’s older brother is good.

[UMFan83]

Counsel has been managing each of these games like they are playoff games. I’m not saying that’s a bad or a good thing, just an observation

[PackLandVA]

Even without fans in the stands, I like how the pitcher gets the "slight" humiliation with "Hit the Road Jack" as he departs in the 4th.

[Brian]

Has Nico ever had a ground ball that hasn't been right up the middle?

Yeah, his first AB was a ground double down the line

[Derwood]

I like this Nico Hoerner
