Am impressed with the opener. Suggestion however All 1st,2nd,and 3rd baseman As well as hitters wear their masks around their neck. If someone gets on base they both wear their masks until they move on. Saw hitters doing it. Not fielders

Maddon would have pulled Hendricks after 75 pitches, love, that he managed us to a championship, but he sucked at handling a pitching staff.
I texted a friend after the Brewers first hit, saying "Joe would be pulling him right now".

For the record, I love what Joe did for the Cubs but hated certain situations. I will make Joe jokes, but I have much appreciation for him. Just like to poke at this aspect.

CB Bucknor behind the plate.

That explains why pitches in the FoxBox are routinely called balls.

Darvish looks tired in the first inning.

33 minutes in, and we're in the first inning of a 1-0 game.

Everybody in baseball should stuff 5 guys between 1st and second when Heyward hits....the guy is a ground ball machine.

Mental Midget put us down 2. Brewers aren't doing a lot offensively, and we're down two.

Let's clobber this sad sack they have on the mound.

Happ is no better than so-so as a CF.

And this bullpen looks like shit today.

Man, they load the bases and who is up? Heyward? Ouch!

No wonder Milwaukee gave the intentional HBP to Contreras. Nothing to worry about.

Yep. Schwarber AB was bad too.

They don't look to be over the top offensively, so they gotta get good pitching and the 5 guys from the pen he ran out there today really shouldn't be on anyone's roster that isn't AAA. I really hope I'm wrong but it's doubtful this team will garner any more than 30 wins.
