Cubs 8, Marlins 4 (3.29.18)

OSS: Cubs power their way past some sloppy play.

Three up:

  1. Ian Happ started this game off with a bang, sending the first pitch of the 2018 season into the RF seats. Rizzo and Schwarber followed him later in the game, and I'm a little surprised in retrospect that the Cubs had *only* three homers in this one.
  2. The 2017 Cubs bullpen numbers were overall better than we remember, probably mostly because everyone was out of gas by the playoffs and Joe pretty much only trusted Duensing and Davis.
