4/9 Rangers (Gray) @ Cubs (Taillon) 1:20 CT Marquee

[Bertz]

It's Easter Sunday, when we celebrate a dead body on the move

Cubs have won 3 in a row

Yesterday's win featured a barrage of hits

Jameson Taillon's going for the Cubs today. His first start did not go well

Jon Gray is going for the Rangers. The Gray Wolf as he's known is very dangerous

Go Cubs

Would love to see Wisdom in the lineup.

I continue to be convinced the Cubs mandate days off after you hit a HR.  

[UMFan83]

Taillon kind of ass so far

[CubinNY]

I’m not complaining, but does Boog have Sundays off? 

[UMFan83]

Well that was an unfortunate 2 run error

 

edit: guess they are going to make 1 of the runners back on 3rd. 
 

wtf was Madrigal doing though?

Yes

Well the cubs are being good guys and allowing us to enjoy our Easter. 4-0 Rangers

A 3B without much 3B experience makes a bad play. A RF who doesn’t play a ton of RF makes a bad break on a ball.

please get Torrens off the roster, we can't keep doing this

[CubinNY]

Come back soon Seiya. 

[mfcubs22]

Morel should have started the season on the roster. There’s enough shitty players taking ABs and attempting to play defense that finding enough playing time for Morel shouldn’t have been an excuse to start the year at AAA

[UMFan83]

Damn Rios!  Easy power off that bat

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It feels like every at bat I've seen from Barnhart he squares the ball up well

[UMFan83]

Umps have seemed horsefeathering terrible so far this year. Nico got screwed out of 2 balls in this AB which forced him into swinging into a ball outside and grounding into a double play. BS

Another error leads to a run. Very error prone weekend for both teams 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

2 GIDP for Nico.

 

Getting base runners. Only Rios has capitalized so far.

[CubinNY]

Blah

[UMFan83]

Assad getting hit badly

[Derwood]

Glad I'm not watching this one

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Not every team can start the season with Detroit, Washington, and Oakland.

I didn't see the game today.  What happened with Torrens?  Or was it just the fact that he is taking a roster spot that should be occupied by a legitimate major league infielder or outfielder?  I know I read something from one of the beat guys this week suggesting that the expectation was for Torrens to stick with the team for awhile.

I'm assuming taking up a roster spot from someone who may be able to play adequate RF as TT posted that right after Mancini misplayed a ball that led to 2 runs scoring.  He either made a bad break on what could have been an out or attempted to dive for a ball that was clearly going to be a single and it got by him allowing a 2nd run to score (1 would have scored if he played it cleanly as a single)
