The Cubs have themselves a rubber match today, and given their opponent, it’s fairly critical they win. I know it’s just the third game of the season, but aside from the shortened schedule, the Cubs will see the Brewers just 7 times after this. Falling behind in the season series this early could be devastating.
So let’s hope Tyler Chatwood looks as good as he did in the spring/is able to harness all that potential for an afternoon. As we’ve discussed, the Cubs chances this season may rely disproportionately on his effectiveness.
Go Cubs.
