lol at that dude that sang the anthem

A bad lounge singer. I'm picturing Bill Murry on SNL.

[UMFan83]

1-2-3

[Irrelevant Dude]

3 up, 3 down. Super Bowl Super Bears!

[Andy]

Hendricks on pace to retire every batter he faces this season

[bukie]

Is this the first game played at Wrigley with a DH?

 

EDIT: I forgot the short season.

[UMFan83]

Ortega starting? ok fine whatever. But hitting leadoff?

[PriorFighter]

I'm even more irritated seeing the garbage lineup the Brewers are rolling out. 1-2 guys could have been a division changer this year.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ortega starting? ok fine whatever. But hitting leadoff?

 

He had like a .900+ OPS against RHP last year so he's as good a bet as any in that situation until he proves otherwise

[Brian707]

Draftkings had No Runs 1st inning +140, thank you Ortega. Now go beat the Brewers rest of the game

[UMFan83]

Unprecendented Cubs coverage apparently doesn't include at alternate angle of a fly ball down the line at your home ballpark. Good stuff Marquee

.721 OPS for his career which roughly half of his career PAs came last year. Like I said, ok fine start him, but not sure why he has to hit leadoff.

Rowdy Tellez is a top tier Baseball Name.

[UMFan83]

1st of many times I briefly think 'where are we at in the order, will this walk bring the pitcher up?'

Give Suzuki a week or two to settle in and move up the line up and things will start looking more normal bad and not weird bad.

[Brian707]

How about a Suzuki dong this inning

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hendricks a K machine!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Frank please do not batflip in frustration, that is very mean for us watching at home

[CubinNY]

How about a Suzuki dong this inning

Walk is good too.

[CubinNY]

I like the Cubs approach so far.

[Tryptamine]

If espn is to be believed, that was 4 straight strikes thrown to Seiya, with two of them called balls.

[UMFan83]

It's becoming clear that Burnes doesnt look like he has it today. (please don't come back to bite me)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

almost the reverse, he only saw 1 actual strike in that at bat

[UMFan83]

399 more groundouts to the right side to go

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs are playing this game under protest of the DH rule, batting their pitcher 7th.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wasting a leadoff double? #ThatsStillSoCub
