Cubs Opening Day 2013
The Internet ate my homework...let's try that again.
vs. AJ Burnett 2012: 3.51 ERA/3.52 FIP | vs. Jeff Samardzija 2012: 3.81 ERA/3.55 FIP
Game 2 Thread - Garza vs. GioWord is that the wind is blowing out briskly to left, so Sveum has loaded up on the righties to battle southpaw Gio Gonzalez in his NL debut.
Cubs 2012 Opening Game ThreadHere it is, Opening Day 2012, where optimism reigns...until you see Jeff Baker starting at 1B.
Opening Day 2011 - Pirates @ CubsIt's Christmas time for baseball fans and Santa's delivered the lowly Pirates to the Cubs. Of course, the Cubs went 5-10 against one of the worse teams I've ever seen play baseball last year, so the Cubs have that going for them. Don't forget to join the fun during our in-game chat. Folks come and go throughout the game so if you hang around for awhile, someone is usually sure to pop in.
Undoubtedly Correia is going to throw a shutout today, but generally you have to laugh at a team employing a guy for Opening Day with a career 4.57 ERA and a 4.91 ERA over the last three years, the last two being in Petco Park. My division predictions after the jump...
Game Preview: Cubs (48-67) @ Cardinals (64-49)Derrek Lee is back, Hoffpauir gets sent back down...okay, why not? With Soto on the DL, Aramis still out, Colvin in the penalty box and Soriano incapable of moving spots in the batting order without the Earth's magnetic fields being reversed, we get to witness the following lineup featuring Blake DeWitt batting 5th. Fukudome, Castro, Lee, Byrd, DeWitt, Soriano, Barney, Hill, Diamond vs. F. Lopez, J. Jay, Pujols, Holliday, Rasmus, Molina, Schumaker, Westbrook, Ryan Game Preview: The Hapless Cubs vs. The Surging GiantsThe things you miss not caring about this team... Game Preview: Cardinals (54-44) @ Cubs (45-53)The last post is getting a little long in the tooth and a little bitchy, so let's move on to happier things like Andre Dawson's Hall of Fame induction today and the Cubs on the brink of a three game sweep over the Cardinals.
Game Preview: Cubs (37-47) @ Diamondbacks (32-52)The Cubs go for 3 in a row. 3 WINS in a row!!!! It's the start of something big, like starting to trade players away. Game Preview: Pirates (26-50) vs. Cubs (33-43)First, the lineups... Tabata, LaRoche, McCutchen, Jones, Milledge, Alvarez, Doumit, Cedeno, Karstens vs. Fukudome, Theriot, Lee, Ramirez, Colvin, Soriano, Hill, Castro, Lilly. Now, the news... |

Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).
Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years.

ONE INNING:
25 pitches (11 strikes)
no batted balls in play
two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz)
three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)

two fouls
three called strikes
14 called balls
one WP
ETHAN ROBERTS:
ONE INNING
15 pitches (7 strikes)
two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel)
two walks (Lubo and Carico)
no strikeouts
no swing & miss
two fouls
three called strikes

five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3)

wall stole a HR from busch...double. nice to see him destroy a curve ball.
upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

I’m at the game—woot!
If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
