LET’S. GO. I cannot wait to find myself once again in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, watching the Chicago Cubs play REAL games. Hype videos are here.
Until then, Bullets …
Don’t you dare, weather. There are threats of storms throughout the afternoon, typically unpredictable. At one point I saw a prediction of hail that could possible reach baseball size, which is (1) insane, and (2) an opportunity for Pete Crow-Armstrong to make a lot of incredible catches. Either way, it’ll be a good day to build out a big lead through five innings, juuuuust in case. What gets the biggest cheer today – when PCA takes center field, when Alex Bregman is introduced, or when the Cubs win their first ABS challenge? It was an uneven Spring Training for Matthew Boyd, who wasn’t necessarily getting great results in the fake games, and got to participate with Team USA in the WBC, but only briefly. Let’s hope it was all building to today, where he’s a good match-up against the still-lefty-heavy Nationals. An absolute must-read over at The Athletic from Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma about the Cubs’ offseason – which is officially officially over – with tons and tons of inside dish that we haven’t yet heard. Among them, the Cubs did try to land any/all of Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, and Brad Keller, but the price tags on each went beyond where they saw the right value (so, combined with the other bullpen moves they made, the Cubs’ philosophy about paying real money for relievers – even on multi-year deals – has clearly changed, and the Tanner Scott pursuit and Phil Maton signing were not one-offs). Also, this tidbit is just delightful, knowing what we know about how Dansby Swanson gets in the ear of the front office, and knowing that Alex Bregman signed soon thereafter:‘Once the Cubs acquired [Edward] Cabrera in January – for Caissie and two more prospects – Swanson contacted Hoyer to say congratulations and continue their ongoing conversation: “We’re one elite position player away — aka Alex — from being better than we were last year.”’
You can almost imagine Jed Hoyer thinking, “OMG chill, Dansby, we’re working on it!” Alex Bregman, via the Sun-Times: “Opening Day jitters? Oh, yeah. When you lose that, it’s time to hang ’em up. -Every Opening Day, there are nerves and excitement. This being a new chapter in my career adds excitement to it, as well.” More on the hitting-obsessed Bregman here at the Chicago Tribune. Talk about a guy who says all the right things. Example: “Honestly, my best years I’ve strictly focused on the process part of it. Obviously you care about the results. You want to have results, but I’ve detached myself more from the actual results of it and worried more about, is my process good? Am I executing my swing in the cage before the game or on the field during batting practice? Am I executing my approach in the game? And if you line out, you line out. But I feel like a lot of hitters, especially young hitters, but most hitters it’s natural to try and go and chase hits. There’s a slippery slope when you’re doing that. I think you really need to chase good pitches to hit and go hunt for a good pitch to hit, and the rest of it will take care of itself.” Been a minute since you would see a Cubs player on a list like this, sad as that may be, but hopefully more are coming by the end of the season:MLB’s list of the 20 most popular jerseys (based on sales since the end of the 2025 World Series): pic.twitter.com/IX5QA25A48
— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) March 26, 2026 The Opening Night game on Netflix was a bust by most accounts, with a broadcast more fixated on promoting Netflix properties than baseball, a brutal scorebug, annoying interviews, and a game that wasn’t particularly entertaining. The National Anthem, though, was pretty darn awesome – wait for the flag, if you haven’t seen it:An epic national anthem performance on #OpeningNight ? pic.twitter.com/Y8qvJESyOY
