Dodgers (Miller) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 4/5/24, 1:20pm, Marquee

[chibears55]

Good early season test for both their hitters and pitchers against the WS favorite ...

Hope they dont clunker out this weekend after sweeping the Rockies

[CubinNY]

Kyle is pretty amazing, but no match for Ohtani. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Happ is the worst gold glover in the league 

[CubinNY]

The defense is alluding the Cubs, but the Dodgers didn't score. Hendricks with the bases loaded and one out in the 1st. 

[Jason Ross]

I'll give Happ a pass there. That's not an easy play. Moving away from him, wind, sun...would like to have gotten it, but think that's a pretty tough play all things considered. 

On a warmer day, that might have gotten out anyways.

[CubinNY]

Dodgers loaded. Like a semi-truck full of steel with the gas peddle pegged. 

[Crusader]

Hope Happ makes up for it. Hendericks should have been out of the inning with no runs.

[CubinNY]

Kyle has not pitched poorly, but 30 pitches already. 

And Gomes whiffs on a foul ball. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Defense has just been awful this year

About the Cubs pitcher I'd feel good about getting Ohtani out is Little.  Really, don't think Ohtani would have much of a chance against Little.

[Jason Ross]

Bobby Miller is from McHenry County? And he went to Louisville. Dude's just trying to be me. 

[CubinNY]

Suzuki gets jobbed by the umpire at least one pitch every AB. 

[ToolDRT]

This series is gonna feel like our bigger, stronger, angrier, ass of a big brother arrived at our house for a long weekend.

Miller has that slow wind-up and then blows gas. It's really hard to time that. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Miller is a monster wow, he just completely dominated our best hitters

[Jason Ross]

How any one hits Bobby Miller is beyond me. That curveball he threw to Suzuki had me saying "what the horsefeathers?" from my couch let alone standing in the box. My god.

Keep the game info flowing please. Unable to watch today

I think there will be a reoccurring "holy horsefeathers, Bobby Miller" theme. Which is not to say the Cubs can't get to him/someone else, but that first inning was something I haven't seen too often. 

[LBiittner]

Can't help but wonder how Belli feels. Watching the other dugout

This is what Bobby Miller did to him. 

[Jason Ross]

Dansby! 2-1

[ToolDRT]

Dansby time! 

[LBiittner]

Ouch

[CubinNY]

Swanson hits one out. 2-1 horsefeatherss. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Didn’t think the cubs would get a hit off this kid, Swanson is playing so well this year
