Since there wasn’t a game last night, and subsequently a lack of news, let’s spend a little longer dwelling on the season opener Sunday night.
First things first. Carlos Martinez was dominant on the mound and fooled Cubs hitters all night long. Off the top of my head, I can only recall a couple of balls squared up off Martinez: Kyle Schwarber’s double into the gap and Javier Baez’s single into left field.
The good news: this team simply refuses to give up. Ashamed as I am to admit, I thought the game was over after failing to push a run across with the bases loaded and one out.
