Schwarber GIDP. This team.

The Quintana trade really was a poor choice.  The Heyward contract was/is a monstrous failure.  Darvish has been even worse.  I wonder if Theo bails on this team and leaves them in a mess like he did Boston.  Does Madden suffer the same inglorious end that Tito did?

WILLSON!  4-2. He appears to be back.

Gleybor, Eloy, and Dylan Cease.

Great teams usually hold on to their top prospects and move their middle tier (such as Ian Happ).

I still think the Quintana trade was the right move. He was on pace for a 4 fWAR season when the Cubs got him. In his previous four years, he had posted fWARs of 3.5, 5.0, 4.3, and 5.0. He was 28, durable, and had 3 1/2 years left on a cheap contract. He was an established strong #2/borderline ace, and the Cubs paid a fair price to get him.

Zobrist is still such a good hitter. Runners at the corners, 1 out.

Hader coming in to face Bryant and Rizzo.

Weak pop by Bryant, 2 outs. He is not good right now.

Good AB by Rizzo, but he Ks.

They really needed Bryant to make enough contact to get that run home. Going to be tough to get 2 against Hader.

Contreras just misses his second homer of the day.

4-2 going to the 9th.

IBB to Yelich with 2 outs, nobody on because Hader is on deck. Hader hitting for himself.

The forecast for the home opener looks pretty good.  Wednesday and Thursday:  not so good.

With partly cloudy skies, light wind and temps in the low 60s, this may be the best weather for an opening day in a long time.

Wednesday and Thursday could both be washouts.  Too bad they can't move Wednesday night up to Tuesday.
