Oh, he is and will be. He’s been the most impressive Cub I’ve seen so far (missed most of game 1)  

Don’t misunderstand me, I also think he is good and will be a very solid starter. My comment was to the poster who suggested otherwise. Obviously he isn’t impressed.

[cl smooth]

Defense is not on point today. Yikes!

[cl smooth]

Even that catch by Swanson was stressful. 

[PackLandVA]

Which Chicago baseball team will win their first game first? White Sox fall to 0-3 with a sweep by Detroit.

[Derwood]

Yankees with a four-game sweep in Houston.

 

[PackLandVA]

Not certain I like this move. Amaya has had some good cuts today.

So bad 

[mfcubs22]

Great AB by Happ

[KCCub]

Great AB by Happ. Mastro has to make him throw a strike there instead of swinging at ball two. 

[Hunter]

Seiya!

[UMFan83]

Such a professional AB by Seiya

Atta boy, ‘zuk!!!

F the closer?

[Jason Ross]

Good job in the 9th to scratch four across. Close it down, take the W.

Glad to get one this weekend. Would have been an annoying home opener after getting swept. Especially if there are one or multiple rainouts. Good stuff

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, the Cubs won! I had to drive my dad back home so wasn't able to watch the later innings.

@PackLandVA, you're up for tomorrow's game thread. Remember the new guideline of getting it posted by 10am. Thanks!

[Derwood]

I was told on good authority that Ian Happ sucks and that Morel should be playing LF

[jersey cubs fan]

Glad the season was saved. Bummed the rotation sucks

You got the first win, I suggest you continue until a loss. I'd rather not be Mr. Jinxy. 

Plus, my concern is that I'll start another game thread only to be "bogarted" again by you like earlier today!! 😝

No, you take tomorrow. What I'm going to do this season is check in at 10am and if there is no game thread, I will create one. That's all. It's easiest for me if I can get into a daily rhythm and set expectations for myself. It's more likely I will actually remember to do stuff that way.

Morel’s defense at 3B nooooo thank you 

It has to be his worst position on the diamond.

[JHBulls]

I didn’t watch today and they got the W.

New tactic this year. I don’t watch any more Baseball and I’ll see everyone for World Series celebrations in November.

The rule has always been if you post a thread and they win, you continue to post until they lose.

By rights, you're up for the next one.
