Title: non-Astro Opening Day - 5 Apr 2015
Post by: subnuclear on April 05, 2015, 07:29:29 pm: Cards @ Cubs. Cards up 1-0. Bottom of the first.

Fowler gets a double on his first at-bat as a Cubbie.

Trying to remember who hit third while they held Springer down. Probably Fowler.

That's not real baseball. They don't have a DH.

No RBI's, either. What a waste.

That play to first while the runner moved to third was a little strange. I hope he figures that out.

No kidding. Terrible.

Post by: Mr. Happy on April 06, 2015, 08:31:28 am: I still maintain that the Cubs are going to have struggles with consistently scoring runs, at least until Kris Bryant shows up, which should be in about two weeks. Olt is not the answer at the hot corner.
