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.
Granted, I haven't actually seen any of Morel's errors yet but it sounds like he's blatantly atrocious out there. I mean sure give him a little more time but he's played 200 games in his career at 3B, its not like its a completely new position.
Fun fact: this series will be the 4th, 5th and 6th straight games at Wrigley Field against the Rockies. Colorado made their only appearance at Wrigley in the final home series of the season and are now playing in the Cubs home opener.
Glad to get one this weekend. Would have been an annoying home opener after getting swept. Especially if there are one or multiple rainouts. Good stuff
