What the hell was up with the pitch selection for a Yu?

Uhh, okay?

Wow, the Marlins are starting Despaigne?? That seems silly.
-
So Strop, Cishek, Duensing and maybe Carl available? And Montgomery.

Kenley Jansen averaged 89 mph on his cutter today and topped out at 90. (Also Kershaw and Wood's velocity are down too.) Hand gave up 5 and Rivero 4 in blown saves.

Damn, Morrow won't be available tomorrow either.

The Cubs went from averaging 8 runs/game to 3.12 runs/game in one game.

Pretty underwhelming stuff from Underwood. -
The last time the Cubs won their season opener, they won the World Series.

Staying in the game.

My goodness, Little had himself a game. 76% strikes, no walks, had his fastball, curve and change working. Ademan hit a HR too. -

The Cubs' bonus pool is $4,983,500. They can acquire up to 75% of their bonus slot, which means they can max out at $8,721,125. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2018-19-mlb-international-bonus-pools/ -
My Giants fan coworker is telling everyone who'll listen that the Giants are starting Blach because he's a Dodger killer.

Minor League Musings

I haven't heard as much about Abbot yet in the minor league recaps. It may just be a matter of him being a bit behind the others. If he's still throwing 89-91 in a few weeks, I'm gonna be disappointed. I am higher on Abbott than I probably should be, but something in my gut is telling me that he will amount to something. Meanwhile, Jonathan Sierra and Nelson Velazquez have returned to where we expected them to be, Mesa/Eugene. Super impressive if Morel can make South Bend - he'd be skipping the AZL and NWL in his stateside debut and age 19 season. Wow. That would indeed be impressive. I can't remember the exact injury he had that kept him out of 2017, but I do seem to recall that it was a freak accident of some sort. I may have to google that in a bit. Yeah, some household injury.
