hrubes20 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Any predictions on the opening day lineup against lefty Mike Minor? I'll go: 1. Almora - CF 2. Zobrist - LF 3. Bryant - 3B 4. Rizzo - 1B 5. Javy - SS 6. Meatball - DH 7. Contreras - C 8. Heyward - RF 9. Bote - 2B I kind of want to throw Zagunis out there, due to him hitting LHPs well, but I don't think Joe is crazy enough to start platooning Heyward in Game 1. But then again, it wouldn't be the first time I underestimated the craziness of Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Not gonna guess the order, but I agree it'll be those 9 guys in the lineup. And pumped for the start of the season, especially with the Hawks getting pretty much eliminated last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 That was fun. Shoulda put Chatwood out there when we were up by 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't hitting any oppo tacos last year after the injury, so that was beautiful. How quickly people forget that this team won 95 games last year when their best player went .248/.347/.408 from June 22nd until the end of the year due to the shoulder injury. The Cubs essentially added a 6+ Win player to their 2018 team. 14 hours ago, Blazer026 said: That was fun. Shoulda put Chatwood out there when we were up by 10. I'm ok with Joe using a blowout as a quasi-spring training game for Strop and Montgomery, since both missed time and we have the stupid off day today. It stinks that their stats count, but they just needed the mound time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he hasn't even really been using it yet and has room to improve should absolutely terrify the rest of the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 So with no Happ, Almora should get a lot more AB's right? Heyward is the only other guy who can play CF right? Fine with me if that's the case. Always thought he should get more AB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve only got Almora, Hayward, Schwarber, and Zagunis as full time outfielders and only the first two have experience at CF. Worst case scenario, if one was subbed out and the other got hurt, I would assume Javy could play there in a pinch. But yeah, looks like Almora is gonna get some more ABs and Heyward is going to get a good workload as the backup CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
