Cubs (Wicks) vs Rangers (Gray): 3/31/24, 1:35pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Woof to last night. Cubs kinda need to get a win; leaving Texas with a 1-2 record, there's no shame in that.

Jon Gray's not a pushover and I don't expect Wicks to get through the Rangers order unscathed, but I like that lineup for today

I started a gam thread last night, but created it in the archived "Game Threads" forum.  Feel free to delete.

Whoops - didn't realize that myself.

I'll repeat it here..

Feels like this will be a feel-good win, because the next 48 hours are in doubt.

I just cancelled plans with my buddy to go to tomorrow's game so now they'll definitely get it in

[PackLandVA]

Finally getting to watch the game after completely missing the first two.  Hopefully, my mere viewer presence changes the outcome.

[Rex Buckingham]

Morel!

[Derwood]

Morel took that center cut fastball out real quick

[PackLandVA]

Well that’s a nice start!!

[muntjack]

So very glad they kept Morel.  

[PackLandVA]

Nothing wrong with Gray approaching 30 pitches in the 1st inning.

[Derwood]

Looks very hittable today. Swanson swung through a couple of fat pitches in the heart of the zone as well

[Rex Buckingham]

really like Wicks... dude is just going to put up quality innings for many years

[Jason Ross]

Great sequence by Wicks to knock out Garcia.

[muntjack]

Amaya looks improved back there.  

[Rex Buckingham]

ugh, Morel giveth, Morel throweth away

[Transmogrified Tiger]

you have to know that's a backup catcher going down the line and take the step to set yourself

[PackLandVA]

Morel with too much time to think about that throw.

[Dfan25]

Won’t be too long before Madrigal is playing everyday at 3B. 

[UMFan83]

Yikes. Can’t hold a lead 

[Dfan25]

Morel with the bat + 3

Morel with the glove  -2

[Jason Ross]

Few early walks but also a few extra swings and misses for Wicks. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Hopefully Morel can improve with time, really don’t want to be stuck with Morel DH and Madrigal/Wisdom 3B

Matt Chapman was just sitting out there the whole time
