IST: Cubs @ Rangers — Season Opener

[CSF77]

If Schwarber was any sort of upgrade over what they had then he would be catching.

I see them not investing into a back up because of what they had to spend did not equal a upgrade.

So it comes down to letting these two learn a rhythm.

There is no fast fix only hard work

 

[A.C. Milan]

First inning, 2 outs nobody on and Rizzo takes 2 strikes trying to bunt

 

[Omeletpants]

Even though putting on most of that lost weight, Schwarber seems to be off to a good start

 

[SilenceS]

Schwarbs crushing one. Think he hit Rosario on the fly

 

[chibears55]

Heyward takes such big cuts on balls and they barely make it halfway to outfield

 

[jooo83]

Motherfucker!

 

[SilenceS]

The ump was absolutely garbage on those at bats.

 

[chibears55]

Offense gonna have to score like 10 runs a game to win with this pitching so far..

 

[chibears55]

Maddon gonna go to Chatwood in this game

 

[jooo83]

Maddon gonna go to Chatwood in this game

Scary thought.

 

[chibears55]

At least he didn't walk anyone

 

[A.C. Milan]

This is what i call a good sunday night

 

[chibears55]

Chatwood
8 hitters 2 walks 2 hits
He improved

 

[chibears55]

Tell me again how the cubs bullpen is so much better this year, I'll hang up and wait for answers...

 

[Globetrotter]

Joe pushing those buttons.

 

[A.C. Milan]

Again God damn again

 

[PickSix]

Hey Carl, cheer up. You aren’t the only bed wetter. Life is good.

 

[Bigfoot]

2 games in bullpen looks like a ship with multiple holes in it.

2 games in bullpen looks like a ship with multiple holes in it.

If the team wondered why the pecota projections had them so low in the win total; the last 2 days of pitching is why.

Not many guys who throw hard (esp in pen)
Not many young arms (esp in rotation)
Not much confidence in the pen

Think it's a long year with the staff; esp the pen.

How many runs per game?
