Cubs 7, Dodgers 0: The Cubs show some power - Bleed Cubbie Blue


As is the case for most spring games, don read too much into the Cubs 7-0 win over the Dodgers Thursday evening, because this wasn off the Dodgers frontline pitching, nor was the offense generated produced by the Cubs better hitters.Nevertheless, it was good to see some of the sub Cubs break out the bats.They got the run-scoring started in the first inning thanks to some sketchy LA defense. Nico Hoerner singled with one out and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Then he took off for third, and a bad throw by Dodger catcher Austin Barnes allowed Nico to score to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. This was off Jimmy Nelson, who has spent more than three years trying to get back to starting in the big leagues after a shoulder injury suffered while he was running the bases after a single against the Cubs in Chicago in September 2017 https://www.chicagodogstore.com/Sean_Newcomb_Dog_Jersey-151. Trevor Williams, in his Cubs debut, had two solid innings. He did allow four hits, but also struck out four, including this one of Mookie Betts .Your browser does not support HTML5 video.That some nice pitch framing by Austin Romine on that one. From Williams:Williams tested out a new slider grip today a couple times, but mostly stuck with his familiar, trusted version. He went with old reliable on the first K to Betts."It does nobody any good, especially on my first date with Romine Keegan Thompson Pet Jersey, to throw a slider that backs up on him."
