15 pitches in the 1st 23 pitches in the 2nd.. meh

Hendricks doing the bad Hendricks things.

I know it's barely game 2, but I'm hoping for a lot of success for Michael Busch.

Dansby with the stroke! 2-0 Cubs!

Game 2 of 162 Game 2 of this series No Cub has faced Bradford before. Meanwhile, Marcus Semien has 2 career HR off Hendricks, 3-6 and 3 RBI. Jankowski might start, as he's batting .308 off Hendricks in 13 AB, and based on Thursday's heroics. Let's get going this year with The Professor doing what he does best. (These will get more fancy over time, but I wanted to get this posted before heading out today..)

What's the rule for an off day?

Are you kidding me? !@#%^

Ugh, Garcia at it again.

What guy?

It's okay - we'll just sign Jordan Mont--- oh

Morel halfway to a cycle! (opening day optimism)

Down goes Langford! 😄

He's already 1/3 of the way to his 2023 total 😮

Nada

I have a feeling I'm going to have to remind myself to trust the process several times at the start of the season...

Morel at DH and cleanup? Madrigal starting opening day? Um... I'm not sure about that... unless Madrigal rakes against Eovoldi, but I doubt it.

Official Cubs account on Twitter posted the blue unis for tonight's game. And I'm disgusted.

Okay - enough of the banter - I'd like to join the "rotation" whenever that is officially decided upon. 🙂

- Shota Imanaga has a better year than Yoshinobu Yamamoto. - Michael Busch plays well enough to move into everyday starter, rather than "platoon option". - Garrett Cooper turns into the everyday DH, and enjoys a career year in HR after hitting 17 last year. - Jordan Wicks has many games that remind us of Mark Prior in his prime - Cubs/Reds battle for the division, while the Cardinals stay closer to being mid or worse (See .. I can do more than just run the HR Derby! 😉)
