This can’t go on forever. The bullpen has a 1.71 ERA this week and is due for a late inning implosion. Bullpen will give up 5 runs in the 8th to break the 1-1 tie. 6-1  Astros.

Cubs break out and win 6-3

[Jason Ross]

 

Pedro Ramirez gets his first career start. Lets go, Pedro!

[chibears55]

No Happ and Swanson..

  Lets win a ballgame today, enough of this BS

[Andy]

Cabrera to the injured list, which means 3/5 of the opening day rotation is on the IL 

[Gjfificifjdej]

Well atleast I don’t have to see Happ swing today. At least attempt to be competitive guys.

Lineup construction doesn’t matter but I would love to have someone explain PCA in the lead off spot 

[NorthsideAvenger]

I won't dare ask for a win but is it too much to ask the Cubs to have more then 3 hits and/or more than 2 runs?

He was the only guy to have a good game on Fri and Craig said horsefeathers it.

Wicks called up..

Have to say, I dont recall seeing someone go on IL because of a blister.

Guess pickle juice doesn't work anymore 😂

Counsell will probably only use Alcantara against lefties.

Not gonna lie - I thought the same thing. I know last year a couple guys got pulled early due to a blister- understandable. May even sit out one time through their spot in the rotation. 
Getting put on a 15-day IL?! wtf 😂 

Probably something they aren’t sharing - has to be more, right? 🤷‍♂️
