Tinyface with the sac fly

 

Coincidentally, it's also tinyface with the fly sac.

if you asked me if Brandon Workman was on the Cubs roster before today I'm pretty sure I would've said no

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, thank you bad baserunning.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

trying to imagine what the thought process is there, was he just super confident the ball was gonna drop?

[CyHawk_Cub]

I admit I paid less than minimal attention, but I assume the bullpen rostering decisions had to be easy if Workman made the cut; they must've had plenty of junk to choose from at the end of the roster.

its nice to see other teams commit TOOTBLANs

its gonna be a bummer seeing javy play his way out of chicago this season

[CubinNY]

Basically, all the worst fears showing up in this 1st game.

[17 Seconds]

Underwood striking out the side against us is awesome

[Schwarber Fan]

Every Pirates AB is like pulling teeth.

[UMFan83]

The first 2 Pirate batters have reached in all 5 innings, and in the one of those innings the first 3 batters reached

Not sure if tinyface is vaccinated but stay away from Sogard dude.

[Schwarber Fan]

So nothing has really changed. It takes an act of God to get the other team out while the Cubs are up there easily being shut down by opposing pitching. Sounds all too familiar.

[BigbadB]

Still top of the 5th two hours and ten minutes in is quite painful. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if the Cubs were winning.

Cubs pitchers getting owned by shitty and/or young players, the more things change the more they stay the same. The advanced scouting/game planning has been terrible for years now.

So is Boog a fan of advanced statistics or not? His comments regarding stats are all over the place.

I think he tries to play it both ways, knowing the audience is split to a degree.

[squally1313]

Well this has been miserable so far. Get to work Theo.

[Cubswin11]

Glad Sogard is gonna get more innings today than Bote. Adam threw 20+ pitches that inning, so he’ll be out. Glad Ross went out his way to get Sogard in.

[UMFan83]

So many posts I want to make about this game but I really dont want to overreact to the first game of the year.

[TMan92]

The Cubs offense is going to be the new definition of insanity.

[We Got The Whole 9]

One hit

[Sammy Sofa]

[expletive], I am so far not regretting not watching a second of the Cubs at all last year. This horsefeathering sucks.

Though I will say that if they let the leadoff man on in every single inning of the season, it will not be good for their prospects of winning the World Series
