Kyle Schwarber wasn’t in the starting lineup for the Cubs’ opener Thursday against the Rangers.
He got in the game anyway, went 1-for-3 (a double) and the Cubs won 12-4.
All good, right?
Not from reading some of the comments about Schwarber’s not being in the lineup on Day 1. You’d think the world had ended, or the Cubs’ season had ended in disaster (after one game), or Cubs management had suddenly gotten stupid.
I assure you none of the above is true regarding Schwarber spending half of one game on the bench.
