Thursday, Mar 29 1 pitch, 1 home run. Ian Happ homered on the 1st pitch of the 2018 season and the Cubs beat the Marlins 8-4 at Marlins Park. Well, that was easy. Happ's home run — the 1st by a leadoff hitter since 1986 — also caused a local sportswriter to jump into Lake Michigan (filed under: when Twitter bets go wrong). Before the opener, the Cubs donned Stoneman Douglas T-shirts and Anthony Rizzo sharpened his tone on gun control: "It's just unbelievable how an entire nation is rallying around Stoneman Douglas High School." Also before the opener, the Cubs set their 25-man roster — 13 pitchers, 2 catchers, 6 infielders and 4 outfielders — and reliever Eddie Butler made the cut. 1 regular-season game down, 161 more to go. |
