The cubs get thrown out on the bases on run scoring hits way too often it feels like. I mean it’s fine we scored 4 runs, and it’s possible the adventurous baserunning is partially to make sure the runner scores (I think?) but it’s always slightly annoying.
This.
Imanaga is going to give up some long balls this year but I absolutely attribute much of that hard contact on Monday to pitching to the conditions. Both pitchers gave up a lot of fly balls I believe.
At least where I work (Michigan/Wacker) it was gloomy and foggy all day until about 3 pm when it suddenly cleared up and was crystal clear. Most of the day I couldnt see the building across the street and then suddenly I could see all the way to Indiana from my office
I'm wondering if this particular game was listed as a night game so they could do a day/night DH if yesterday's game was rained out since there was not the traditional off day after the home opener. The Cubs charge a premium for Opening Day tickets so they've been good about trying to ensure that the Opening Day ticketholders attend the opening game. Not sure why Wednesday's is also a night game.
That's gotta be the worst feeling when you realize the ball got under your glove and you're now chasing it knowing you probably just allowed at least 2 runs to score.
It's really only his 2nd? Was there also a misplay or something that was called a hit? I swear there's been something in every game he started at 3B. Not to mention several errors in Spring Training.
