Pitchers and catchers.

Schwarber already broke a windshield with a BP homer. Two days ago.

This is gonna be a fun season guys.

 

[pantagrapher]

Addison Russell can dance.

 

[Grahamburn]

Can anyone explain Coghlan for Brooks? Head scratcher. 

 

[Wrigley]

Welcome back Dexter

 

[Grahamburn]

Yep. Guess that's why. 

 

[pantagrapher]

We're getting the band back together.

 

[Wrigley]

Trump was right, the Rickets can keep a secret 

 

[pantagrapher]

I'm gonna miss Cogs, his bare chest glistening in the Arizona sun, his powerful jaws destroying three packs of Fruity Stripe, the smile I imagine he has in private moments.

Dexter done good.

Back in to fantasy baseball after a several year hiatus and have already drafted Arrieta (had to trade up to get him) and Rondon.  Hope Madden sticks with him.

Looking at Russell possibly, although his average scares me off a bit.

Cubs open here locally in Anaheim and while I'd love to go see them I fear the ticket prices are going to be nuts.  Might train up to LA or down to SD to watch them at some point this season though. 

GO CUBBIES!

Cubs drop ST opener to the lowly Brewers.

Do we know if Lester can throw to first base?

Just freaking bounce it over there.  Geez.

Addison Russell with homer. He stopped swinging at pitches inside off the plate and down off plate late last year. I see big things coming.

That's from Eno Sarris, who knows things. 

 

[Wrigley]

115 wins

 

[pantagrapher]

This is a good hat.

 

[Grahamburn]

At what point will teams just start bunting the ball directly at Lester any time there's a runner on? There's at best a 50/50 chance he'll chuck it into right or just put it in his pocket.  They guy is flat out embarrassing in the field.

Kind of like the strategy of fouling Shaquille O'Neal or Dwight Howard as soon as they get the basketball.

[Limp Ditka]

You can't wait to sit in the bleachers and put Barry Foote into your mouth, right?

 

[Peyton Marino]

OH HELL YES

 

[Grahamburn]

Hoping to make it through 3 innings tonight.  ZZzz.

Not wild about this 9 p.m. start. I'm sleepy.

It would be miserable weather for a home opener at Wrigley

Only 9 runs.

Let's see how they do when they face a power pitcher.

Watch out, baseball. Arrieta is using his change up.

Let's see how they do when they face a power pitcher.

To be fair, Richards was all over the place.

To be fair, Richards was all over the place.

He was coming out of his shoes a lot. Looked completely out of control in that 4th inning.

Reminded me of Chris Archer.  Lot of emotion.  Demonstrative.  Negative body language. 

Just silly stuff though.  He didn't have that change up last year either.  If he can find the plate more consistently he's an ace.

His curve was his out pitch, he just stopped throwing it

good #### fowler

Double turds.

I hope the MRI is good news, but I fear we're losing Schwarber until at least the break. Good thing this roster is so deep, but damn, why did it have to be Schwarbs.

On a positive note they have 29 runs in 3 games and he has 0 hits. 

 

[shady inc]

what's the turn around time on MRI's these days.  Assume the cubs know already, but not releasing it yet?

 

[shady inc]

unfortunate:

Any beneficiary other than Soler?

Baez and La Stella should see more time
