Angels (Johnson) vs Cubs (Cabrera): 3/30/2026, 6:40pm

[JHBulls]

New Baseball season. New crappier outfield defending. 

[chibears55]

Home field advantage at work again for the Cubs...

Good on PCA running hard all the way

[PeanutPunch33]

nice start.  It's wild that the Angels have been trying to build a rotation for like 15 years and they seem no closer to being good lol 

[jorbloss]

Must be an amazing night to be at Wrigley. Perfect weather.

Still - I’m out on my porch, windows open, having a drink, Pat and Ron on my vintage radio. Baseball rules

Giving PCA credit for his bracket, he picked all the number ones and Illinois (chicago)...

[JHBulls]

I like Edward Cabrera.

And soon you’ll have Zach Zaidman for an inning to ruin it all for you

[JHBulls]

Ian Happ isn’t a good Baseball player. He sucks!

Just saying.

Ian Happ gonna get that bag on payday 

[mk49]

Happer with the wind.

[JHBulls]

I know we are only 4 games into the season but I am already looking at that stupid April 13th to 26th schedule. We need to win these easier series. 

[CUBDOM4life]

Mo!

[chibears55]

Mo B with a big 2 out knock

[Geographyhater8888]

Why is conforto in the lineup again?

He’s on the roster, so you either start him tonight or he starts on a different day. It is what it is.

Getting him a few AB before releasing him

🤷

[CUBDOM4life]

What a fun first start for Cabrera

[chibears55]

Cabrera and Horton are gonna be a fun watch, just need the bats to put up a couple runs in their starts and theyll have a great shot at a W

I like that chart.

[JHBulls]

Making the pitching change on an 0-1 count wouldn’t be a good feeling for the pitcher.

We're going to try to include these in every game thread. We already have them elsewhere on the site, but it seems like a good fit to also put them here.

[Jason Ross]

Did some Ryan Johnson research. Here is his path to the MLB:

1. Homeschool in HS. Pitched in a religious home school league. 

2. Dallas Baptist college

3. Straight to MLB.

4. 12 appearances in A+

5. Back to MLB

[Jason Ross]

So...do we still want a do-over on the Cabrera/Caissie trade now that he's got 5 innings under his belt?
