Sure if you want to judge offense by crazy new fangled stats like “runs” -
Yeah, do you even really even need legs to pitch?
-
Belli got that 2 strike magic again
-
im just making horsefeathers up at this point but I feel like if it was a full tear worst case scenario he would have needed assistance walking off.
-
Or he steps in and puts up Steele like production immediately. Or Taillon pitches a lot more like the Taillon we thought we signed. Or Smyly pitches more like 2022 Smyly. This definitely is nowhere close to a positive development but still plenty of time to figure out a way to survive.

MLB.com gives us a very helpful timetable of "a few days to 3-4 months" Again it all depends on severity. It didn't look pretty though. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/injuries/hamstring-strain
-
I've barely paid attention all spring, how far is Taillon away from returning?
-
Yeah it depends on severity. Unfortunately the severity of that one didn’t look great but it’s possible it’s not as bad as it looks?
-
horsefeathers it bring up Horton lol
-
Sucks that our schedule is looking pretty front loaded too
-
At least Jordan Montgomery is sti- oh damn nevermind. I guess when you try to build an 85 win team you don’t have much margin for error
-
That’s a long injury if it’s the hammy
-
The Cubs should do more of that offense thing. Morel only comes up once every 9 batters.
-
Definitely getting better swings on Steele the second time around. In a jam now
-
lol Madrigal kinda sorta almost went yard
-
Some batted balls so far: Seiya - .460 xBA, 103 mph Bellinger - .550 xBA, 102 MPH, HR in 1/30 parks Morel - .580 xBA, 101 mph, HR in 17/30 parks Swanson - .600 xBA, 100 mph Hoerner - .220 xBA, 101 mph The Cubs have 1 hit so far
-
So glad we didn’t trade that dude
-
Too many pitches but I’ll take a scoreless frame
-
Crushed 2 balls. Bad BABIP luck already
-
Happ absolutely tried to recreate his first pitch HR there
-
He actually played 1 less game where he led off. 75 games at 2 and 74 at 1

Very interesting to see.... Today's lineup with the number of times they hit in that spot of the order last year 1. Happ - 2 games (3rd was most common with 127 games) 2. Seiya - 13 games (4th was most common with 49 games) 3. Bellinger - 7 games (4th was most common with 83 games) 4. Morel - 3 games (7th was most common with 30 games) 5. Swanson - 62 games (2nd was most common at 68 gmaes) 6. Busch - N/A 7. Nico - 1 game (2nd was most common with 75 games) 8. Madrigal - 23 games (9th was most common at 49 games) 9. Gomes - 22 games (8th was most common at 50 games) So not a single player in the opening day lineup started the most games at their current spot in the batting order last year, and only Swanson started more than 15% of last year's games at the same spot in the batting order that he is today. Not a criticism at all, just interesting to see how different Counsell has them lined up than Ross did.
-
Well they usually force a day off in between the first and second game to ensure that those that bought Opening Day tickets get to attend the opening day. I guess if logistically it didnt work out that way, that's the only thing they can do, but if Monday is rained out than the people who paid premium prices for Opening Day will attend on Thursday (if that's when its rescheduled).
-
Quiet you 😂
-
I saw some complaining about how weird it is the Rangers have an off day scheduled after today considering they play in a dome so there is no possibility of rainouts. Looking at the schedule, the Cubs home opener is on Monday, with games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Current forecast for Monday is 46 degrees with rain (rain on Tuesday too)
