2:05pm for the very first First Pitch of 2018 for the Coob (White Sox as well).

No early word on whether Maryvale Baseball Park (aka Sloan Park West) will be overrun with invading Cubs fans.

Awesome!!

I think they're doing tomorrow's game on the radio, but if you're really jonesing and are a bit of a pirate, Fox Sports Milwaukee is televising today's game.

It'll be on at 3 on MLB Network on tape delay. Feels good to have baseball back.

Stupid ass Comcast no longer allows you to set your DVR from a computer so if you are at work and want to record this, you're screwed.

Can anyone recommend You Tube TV or another service? I so hate Comcast and their massive bill and now this...

Thinner Schwarber

90 minutes into spring training and already Ian Happ is making spectacular diving catches, which if I could see the replay I'm sure it wouldn't show how he was late to starting to the ball oh wait.

Don't worry about Happ, he will probably out perform Heyward again.. One guy is making 500k and the other is making 20 million.

Today's Cubs/Sox game is not on the radio (well, maybe it is for the Sox but I wouldn't know), but Len & JD are on WGN TV if you have access to that at this time of day.

Well, I think it stands to reason with the new religion that was started with David Ross. Much like the Dalai Llama a iconic Cub catcher doesn't end. It just transfers to the next one.

It was on WGN. By the time I got into the car, so many scrubs were in the game that I had a tough time telling which team was batting and which team was pitching.

Ed Farmer is fucking terrible

Still though, its not a bad drive home in February when you can have the window halfway down and live baseball on your radio.

Happ is going to hit 60 HRs in the spring alone. And then still platoon come regular season.

Yea....heard Grote on this morning talking Bears.

Can't wait to tune in right at 1st pitch.

Man I AM STOKED for this season!

I've been reading a lot of articles and see a lot of interviews this spring and there's one consistent thing the players and coaches are saying about this cubs team - that they are feeling great about this season compared to last year. That it feels more like 2016 than 2017. It's understandable last spring it was still a love fest and it tired the guys out.

But this year it seems like everyone is stoked and the mindset is prepared and ready to go.

And the way Happ is preforming, HE WANTS that lead off spot. Now I know this is spring training, and regular season is totally different, but if Happ can be the player Fowler was, it's going to be great.

Cubs on MLB TV tonight. Nice to see. Maples looks pretty good thus far. Is he going to make this team?

Baez apparently has a hamstring injury ... lovely.

His replacement, Chesny Young, came in for a bit and then ran into Rizzo trying for a popup and he was taken out as well.

Backup catcher Taylor Davis out indefinitely due to concussion.

In the regular season, if Baez goes down, the back-fill we be Zobrist or Happ. Nothing to worry about.

3:42pm
