Fourth game of the year and Schwarber still has not started a game in left field.

 

[chibears55]

Maddon making Schwarber a part time player..lol

 

[TC in Mississippi]

I'm disappointed that Joe didn't give Schwarber a chance tonight. Newcomb is tough but he's young and inexperienced and Kyle was hitting lefties in ST. Oh well, he'll get his chance eventually.

Interesting... I don't have a way to fact check this but Jesse Rogers said on twitter their 28 runs was the most runs to start the season since 1895.

From what I read, Theo and his staff have a lot to say from day to day lineups.

 

[SilenceS]

I do agree Schwarbs should be starting. He looked good in Texas and he has to be a pivotal guy going forward. He cant be a complete platoon player.

 

[A.C. Milan]

Sloppy start all around

 

[SilenceS]

Zags gonna ride some pine. He had no communication on that pop up.

 

[chibears55]

Fun game...
Gonna need 10 runs again to have a chance

Doubt it...

Maddon will give him an excuse

 

[chibears55]

J Hey the rally killer

 

[A.C. Milan]

Jason " momentum killer " Heyward

 

[zack54attack]

4 runs... all unearned. Zagunis, what ya doin?

 

[Bigfoot]

Not a fan of Schwarber not playing. If he is a core guy he should be playing everyday, but I'm a Schwarber guy so I may be bias.

 

[zack54attack]

Should be raking against this pitcher..
