Nothing like opening day at Wrigley Field.
Boyd started out on FIRE other than the solo shot to Weimer early. Matt Shaw at RF gives me anxiety like something bad is going to happen soon.
Bats got going and got us the lead in the 3rd. Then the downhill fall occurred in the 4th... Nats bats turned it up, we pull Boyd, and the Ben Brown show begins.. So ofcourse an immediate home run given up. At this point its 7-2 to end the 4th and the game is basically over.
Ben Brown is NOT going to last on this team.. Just like last year. Not sure how I feel about Jacob Webb either. Last year I doubted the relief pitching, this year is the same situation.

As a Cubs fan, I enjoyed seeing us get the Bats going again.
Cade Horton is the star of this game. It was relieving to see Maton debut for the Cubs, and see Jacob Webb come in and clean things up a bit.

Overall a good game, Shota needs to clean things up. Phil Maton and Palencia struggled, Harvey looked solid.
Alex Bregman with a 2 HR day, and Ian Happ with his 2nd Home Run on the year!
Great start to the year for the Nats! And a sloppy pitching start for the cubs..

Something about the energy of this game gives it a higher rating. The crowd was IN IT. Nighttime at Wrigley.
Edward Cabrera debuts for the Cubs today and gives a solid 6 IP performance with only 1 hit allowed and 0 ERA.
Colin Rea surprisingly comes in for the 3 inning save.

Defensive issues in the 6th cause the cubs to lose a fairly uneventful game.
Jose Soriano with a great pitching performance for the Angels with 6 scoreless innings.
Ben Brown surprised me in this game with 3.1 1 hit innings, with only 1 BB.

Matthew Boyd with 10 K's in 5.2 IP is the story of this game. Unless you wanna just talk about the weather ;).
Cold game, no Home Runs, just old school base hit baseball in this one.
One thing I love about watching the Cubs is their ability to know how they need to play on a specific day, not just including how the are going to approach the opposing pitcher, but how they are going to approach the weather, especially in these early season games when its usually colder outside. This team excels in the ability to flip the switch and say, " hey guys, we know we cant go for the big shots today, so play small ball. " and we have the guys to do it. Nico Hoerner with a 3/5 day is the perfect example of this.

Though I am a Cubs fan, this was an exciting game especially towards the end. Prayers up for Cade Horton and wish for a speedy recovery!
The Guardians had a vibe to them today where they would not be denied. And Chase DeLauter? Oh man, that kid is exciting to watch bat, and his home crowd seems to love him!
For the Cubs, when Carson Kelly is your best bat, you know youre probably not gonna win, not really sure what happened here for my Cubbies, we felt like we were battling, but thats baseball. Cade Horton going out early I think really messed with the vibes of the bench for Chicago today

Game 1 of the Double Header
This game was a complete sleeper. 3 total hits. I do not recommend watching this game unless you are a Cubs or Guardians fan.
On the Cub's side though. Amazing pitching performance again for Edward Cabrera. I really see him being a wildcard for us this year but outings like this is something I can definitely buy into. We played this game lethargic when it comes to batting, both teams did really. But for my Cubs, a win is a win, but you never want to see a 2 hit game.

Game 2 of the Double-Header.
This game is a complete 180 from the events of game 1. This was a genuinely competitive, action packed game. You could feel both teams fighting almost like game one didn't even count?
Parker Messick looked like a man on a mission for the Guardians.
Shota Imanaga also showed a great outing.
The starting pitching was truly entertaining, then the relief comes in on both sides and this game blows wide open. Again. Ben Brown DOES NOT NEED TO BE ON THIS TEAM.

I blame this loss on the return of Tropicana Field.
Bats are dead right now. We've spent the last week in the frigid cold and now we get a DOME game and we stink it up.
Matt Shaw is exciting me alot right now. To start the season, this idea of him at RF worried me, but if his bat will do what its been doing, I can take half a season for him to learn how to play RF in Wrigley.

CARSON KELLY!! We needed a win like this desperately. One of the things about last season is we won some games like this early and rallied around each other, thats why we had the season we had. Wins like this are going to inch us closer to gaining the momentum that we need to make a postseason push this year.

I know everyone talks about how the Mets are cooked, and they very well may be, but I absolutely love games like this where teams combine for 20+ hits, only difference is we took advantage of the moments and the Mets did not, nonetheless, good win for the Cubs, our bats are definitely back.

Welp. In some ways its relieving to be reminded that we can get our ass kicked... Hopefully losing this series doesn't start a losing streak for the Cubbies. But I don't believe it will. We have too many exciting bats that are capable of dealing damage on any given day. We will be okay after this abysmal performance.

This was such an entertaining game through to the end! Though my Cubbies are now on a 3 game losing streak, producing these types of games is a recipe for success on the offensive side. We know pitching is gonna be an issue this year, but we NEED our main guys to really show out, and Matthew Boyd struggled doing that today. Nonetheless, congrats to the Padres, on to the next one!

Way to get back in the win column here! Again, pitching is going to be a concern for this team... we need our starters to dominate out there, but also, if were gonna be putting up 6-10 runs per game, we may not necessarily need to worry about pitching as much this year! Good win today.
