If Joe was worried about Strop’s pitch count and availability for tomorrow, why throw him out there in the first place?

Yea, that was odd. I think he had 10 pitches.

Better late than never ...

It is nice to get an opening day win.

Mike Montgomery is prolly wishing Strop would’ve finished the game too.

Yea, he was pretty much sitting on that pitch. That dude is big.

Great way to start the season. The ab's were significantly better than I remember them being last year. They put the ball in play instead of going all or nothing. Schwarber did have a shit AB with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. Striking out looking is flat out unacceptable in that situation.

Im one of Maddon's last quasi defenders but the move to put Montgomery in.....why?

Maybe because tomorrow is an off day...

Schwarber's AB looked like shit. I was also not impressed with Bryant's AB's. The 2nd HR from Baez looked like an MVP swing. I hope he has more control over his swings this year and less AB's like the last one with the bases loaded and he goes down swinging out of his shoes.

Overall nice W for the Cubs.

Darvish vs Volquez tonight, let's see these bats keep going and a respectable start from Darvish.

Let’s hope Yu can handle the stress of pitching against a team he once played for. Or will it be the finger blister that does him in ?

I've got a little bit of faith in him this year, not sure why.

Here we go

Schwarber gets his first start of the year, 3 pitches in and I can already tell this ump blows.

Sounds like a lot of cub fans down there. Jumping all over Volquez right away..don't fuck this up Darvish
