4/5 Cubs (Williams) vs. Brewers (Anderson) 6:40

[Bertz]

The Cubs squeaked by the Pirates despite being at home and the Pirates missing their one good player for most of the series. No red flags there

 

 

Tonight, rhe Cubs' other reclamation project takes the mound. Trevor's noticed a real difference since coming over from Pittsburgh

 

 

The Brewers counter with Brett Anderson, who despite being incredibly mediocre continues to have a huge opinion of himself

 

 

Let's Go

STOP THE COUNT!!

Brett Anderson sucks and thinks he's good and if this team has any pride they will score at like 8 runs tonight.

[bukie]

The Cubs are 1-0 against pitchers named Anderson so far this year.

[CubinNY]

I'm predicting a good showing by Williams tonight on the mound. 6 innings, 1 run, 5K, 1 BB. Joc is going to go yard tonight too.

[Bertz]

[CubinNY]

Joc will not be going yard.

What's the thought process on Happ sitting in game 2 against a lefty but leading off in this one?

I'm guessing (assuming all healthy) Happ, Joc & Heyward won't all sit together so on lefty days it will rotate around.

I think it's partly that Tyler Anderson from game 2 has a (modest) reverse split and mostly that Ross is trying to do that thing where he gets all his bench guys into games early in the year.

[CubinNY]

Lefty or not, this is not the Cubs best line up.

[Bertz]

If I would have known Dempster was on this broadcast I would not have burned the "Forced Laughing" gif prior to the game

[d_money]

Bryant in RF, Duffy at 3rd

Because him, Joc and Heyward don’t handle lefties great? Probably gonna be a revolving door out there vs LHP with who sits and who plays and maybe there’s some sort of profile/matchup of LHP they prefer for all of them.

[Derwood]

3 full innings in just 40 minutes

[Bertz]

The Brewers are very much a run prevention team, but still Trevor Williams looks great (and so does Willson's glove)

[Schwarber Fan]

I know it’s way too early to take this seriously, but I feel like Jake, Davies, and Williams are going to make us a much better team than what it may show on paper. And Alzolay hasn’t even pitched yet.

[UMFan83]

Cubs are back to having more runs (14) than hits (13) for the season.
