Cubs tie!

PCA with a 2 strike blooper to LCF to drive in Windham to tie it, then Shaw strikes out to end the game

[UMFan83]

lol from down 6-0 in the 8th with no runs scored in 25 innings to tie game with 2 outs in the 9th on a PCA double

[WhyCantWeWin]

PCA - CF

Bellinger - RF

Suzuki - DH

I think you can maximize Bellingers defensive value at RF, that's why I'd prefer him there.

I had almost totally forgotten about Zastryzny even though he was on the 2016 WS roster.

Pablo Aliendo is a fun name to say. Absolutely wonderful. Hope he makes the MLB

[LBiittner]

Michael Busch looking good today.  Pulled a single, stolen base then scored from second on a slide

[LBiittner]

Canario looking good too

[LBiittner]

Wicks went 3 scoreless thanks to Canario D

Killian reached back and hit 99 and 100

[LBiittner]

Owen Cassie with a hit.

[LBiittner]

Seiya not getting any love from the ump

[LBiittner]

Our 3rdbaseman gets a hit

[Hunter]

Fun inning

[LBiittner]

Michael Busch interviewed, what a nice humble man, I want to adopt him 

[LBiittner]

Luke Little looking awesome 

[LBiittner]

Matt Mervis 😞

[Hunter]

That was bad for Mervis

[LBiittner]

David Bote looks in better physical shape than when he signed his deal.

To be fair, had Shaw not made an error Wicks might not have needed Canario’s defense. Wicks looked good. 

[LBiittner]

Agreed a lot of soft contact results

Yep, some ground balls that found holes. He looked good. I think going in he was the guy to beat as the 5th starter, and so far he still looks to be that guy. 

[LBiittner]

After seeing 1908's breakdown of Mervis' swing chart, I see him differently as a prospect now. 

I cant explain it. But seeing Busch approach vs Mervis today is difference between hot and not.

After hearing the complaints about their incredibly inconsistent offense, the cubs have scored the same amount of runs in back to back games three times in a row to open spring training
