Good to see Busch and Suzuki.  Love that we're getting more Caissie.

Yep I’m listening to the radio broadcast

Wesneski is getting rocked. I hope they aren't depending on him for much.

LHH HR from Pratto. If he wants to start he's going to have to stop doing that.

I hate Seth Lugo. He looks like a guy who should get hit all over the field and the Cubs seem to never touch him 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

LHH starting 5 for 6 against Wesneski is not a great sign

At this point, if another team wants to give up something of value, I'm all for it. With the new reliever rules a few years ago, you simply can't be completely useless against hitters on one side of the plate, even if you dominate the other.

It's his first outing of the spring, who knows what his priorities were. I'm not gonna change the outlook from what it was a week ago even if LHH went 0 for 6 or 6 for 6.  But you always prefer good over bad so it's not a positive marker if he gets torched even if his main focus was throwing strikes and building endurance.

I mean, it's like 9 batters in February. Your opinion shouldn't change too much here from where it was yesterday. 

[CubinNY]

At least Lugo is out now. Duffy (from last year) in for the Royals. 

[CubinNY]

Busch 1 for 1 with a walk. 

[CubinNY]

12 scoreless innings for the Cubs. 

[LBiittner]

Marquee will broadcast cub games the rest of the week.

YAY

Its more or less been my opinion all winter. If they let him continue to get torched by lefties all spring training then they may as well dfa him because his value is completely gone.

It's been my opinion for longer than that. LHH are his kryptonite.
