It’s Ozzie Albies’ world; we’re all just living in it. The Little Engine That Could led the Braves as they strolled into Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon and locked down the first game of the series, 4-0.
The theme of this road trip has been inclement weather, and today’s game in Chicago was no exception. The city still appears mired in winter, and with temperatures in the low 40s, the ivy on Wrigley’s walls was still brown.
Even without sleeves to combat the wind and frigid Midwestern air, Yu Darvish had his pitches dancing, and the variations in his windup left the Braves hitters off balance.
