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

[Underachiever]

We are ok. Sogard gets to see another two pitches this game.

[The stache]

Wow, what a pathetic offensive showing. Two singles by Arcia. Yay!

[BruisedCrew]

I think I could strike Yelich out right now. Just toss the ball up there around the plate and watch him flail away.

 

Darvish might strike out 15 in 5 innings tomorrow.

[topper09er]

well we only need 8 more wins to clinch a playoff spot

[BruisedCrew]

Like Wahl’s pace... keep er movin.

 

Moustakas having a good night for Cincy.

 

He had more hits than the Brewers.

[topper09er]

Very nice stache. At least we have one positive to build on from this game

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This season is just going to be a weird test of trying to enjoy baseball while balancing the fact that every game feels very meaningful with the fact that the format is more forgiving than ever. I have no idea how to feel. Ha. All of ot at once.

[folly412]

Craig, you forgot to fire Andy Haines!

 

Someone has to get a start to the usual calls to fire the hitting coach. Otherwise it wouldn't be baseball season.

[trwi7]

Arcia annoys me when he does crap like that. Sogard is camping under it for 3 seconds and Arcia collides with him while still running towards the ball.

[The stache]

Is this Greg Maddox?

 

Nope. It's not Greg Maddux, either.

[The stache]

Welcome to the Majors kid.

 

Don't do that again, please.

[BruisedCrew]

well we only need 8 more wins to clinch a playoff spot

 

That will require at least 8 runs.

[topper09er]

Our current lowest hit total on opening day is 3, 1993 and 1973

 

Edit 2020.

 

Now make me edit again

Babe Arcia.

[nate82]

Did Arcia change his swing? It looks more flatter than last years.

[The stache]

Come on, Yeli!

[topper09er]

well at least Sogard hit the ball as far as he possibly can

[The stache]

Seeing all those empty seats is just eerie.

[trwi7]

Got him to 100 pitches. That has to be worth at least half a win.

[trwi7]

Seeing all those empty seats is just eerie.

 

The crowd noise that sounds like a bunch of whistling is worse.

[BruisedCrew]

Arcia 3 for 3. Everyone else 0 for 27.

[PinaMadness]

A lineup featuring Sogard leading off was destined to put up an effort like this.

[The stache]

First Cubs pitcher to toss an opening day complete game at Wrigley since 1974.

[topper09er]

Would Hendricks have stayed in the game without the DH? Who knows, but I don't like to see those decisions get skipped

I go the other way. It’s good to see a pitcher get to pitch deep in the game without having to be taken out for a pinch hitter.
