This was a long night of baseball and it was filled with some weird incidents. Instead of waxing poetic about the Cubs first week of the season I will get right into the game notes…
First thing is first, Arrieta pitched a beauty of game, but the way the first inning went, it looked like it was going the other way. After the first inning he kept the ball from leaving the infield with exception of a hit or two. Kris Bryant had a nice night at the plate going 3-4, BB, 4 RBI’s (in fairness, he also hit into a double play with RISP and 1 out but we’ll let that pass for now).
