The conditions at Wrigley Field for today’s opener against the Cardinals are not ideal for offense. It’s chilly and the wind is whipping in, to say nothing of a couple good pitchers on the mound.
Anthony Rizzo don’t care. He’s hot, and that’s all that matters:

As the Cubs said, that’s four in five games for Rizzo, who left the yard at 102 mph on that one, putting it square on the barrel:
