2020-07-24 (Opening Day): Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Hendricks) [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[pacopete4]

Woodruff should pretend he’s facing Yelich.

[markedman5]

Yep he’s falling behind everybody and has no off speed stuff to keep them off balance.

[sveumrules]

There was the first strike called a ball thanks to poor framing.

 

Likely the first of many...

 

Last three years, Yaz/Pina/Kratz combined for about +27.7 framing runs. Omar came in around -22.2 over the same time.

[markedman5]

At least Aria broke up the no hitter.......lol

[MoreTrife]

PSA - Hendricks throws a changeup.

[adambr2]

Good grief, anyone in our lineup going to even touch Hendricks today?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Get those frustrating innings out of the way early, I guess.

 

Hendricks is on. Nice to have baseball back either way.

[TURBO]

Brewers hitters making Hendricks look like Cy Young.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Strikeout rate appears to be in mid-season form.

[markedman5]

Hendricks has never been a big strike out guy........Brewers making him look unhittable..

[topper09er]

Can you name the Cub player who started the most opening days for them since 1901, so no Cap Anson?

C (12 seasons)

1B (12), 2 players tied

2B (13)

SS (11)

LF (10)

CF (7)

RF (12)

SP (7)

[pacopete4]

Hendricks was the perfect pitcher for the Cubs today. Hitters lack timing to start the year and Hendricks lives by disrupting timing and moving the ball around the zone. Hopeful we will settle in as the game goes on.

LF - Billy Williams

Tinkers or Dunston for SS, Chance for other 1B, Sosa for RF, no idea on CF

[markedman5]

Don Kessinger at SS

Dunston is SS. Ernie Banks has the most overall with 17 (not counting Anson butt bb-ref only has opening day starters since 1901) but he split between SS and 1B

 

Sosa is correct for RF.

 

CF is from Wisconsin

[markedman5]

Andy Pafko!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

So who had Arcia in the betting pool for the first two hits of the season?

[TURBO]

Arcia with another knock...Looks like only Orlando has Hendricks figured out.

[markedman5]

Who had Arica with our first 2 hits of the year in the pool?

[trwi7]

If you had the first two hits of the season belonging to Orlando Arcia you're a lying liar.

[adambr2]

How about Yeli knocks one out now and we got a game again.
