AJ base hit, DeAza holds at 3rd for Rios.

DeAza better not keep repeating that throw through to the plate and putting runners at 2B when they should be at first still.

 

Saw that enough with Rios last year.

 

 

Sveum's the 52nd manager of Cubs.

In the 1950's, they had "head coaches" and not managers, interesting.

For those watching, how did Sale look in the first? Velocity at...?

Rios goes to the wall in CF, Sac Fly RBI game tied at 1.

Nice sac fly by Rios.

No gun. He kinda felt his way through the inning.

Ha, just nice to see him square up a lefty there.

Dunn just missed going OPO. End of 1, tied at 1

How many hits did he have all last season against LHP?

 

Something like 6 or 8?

I hate seeing AJP batting 2nd

 

I love seeing our #2 hitter (whomever it is) NOT BUNTING in the 1st inning.

Nobody gave away more outs that our "quitter" manager over the last several years.

What does OPO mean?

I have to say that was a very exciting first inning watching our guys swing the bat. I also hate to see AJ in the 2 hole (just awful) but Dunn just missed one (and made good solid contact with 2 strikes against a lefty) which is something we almost didn't see ALL of last year. For me that is incredibly encouraging.

 

Regarding Sale, his velocity looked ok, not great, but he did reach back on a few fastballs for the K he had that had some life on them.

 

2 out walk and a homer by Edgar Gonzalez. 3-1 Cubs

That's because they used 3 coaches as one manager.

K to Soriano ends the 2nd for the Cubs.

What a fantastic post

The pitch Gonzalez hit out was an 0-2 change that Farmer was pissed off about him throwing in that situatino

Don't much care for the WGN boxscore graphic this season

The location is moronic. Enough with catering to the select few sports fans who haven't upgraded to HD televisions. However, today's broadcast, though widescreen, isn't HD, so hopefully the location is moved.

I hate seeing AJP.

People who say this truly forget the black holes we had at catcher in the 15 years leading up to AJ.

3 up/3 down for Sox in second. 3-1 Cubs after 2

If I remember correctly, they called it a "college of coaches". It was a P. K. Wrigley 'idea'. I remember getting baseball cards that ID'd the Cubs ... um ... leader as a "Head Coach". That would change after a few weeks and someone else would take over. This was in the early sixties.

Mark Johnson FTW!

Brooks Boyer in the booth, looking to sell some tickets.

Sale with a quick 1/2/3 3rd.
