Game Post 4/1
today at 12:13 pm
We are going to switch the preview format a bit this season. Every day is it’s own mini-preview no more series previews. We are starting of course with opening day against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. If the Cubs are to top their reduced preseason expectations beating up on the massively rebuilding Bucs is a must.

Game Notes
- Since 1901, the Cubs are 62-56-2 on Opening Day. Don’t expect a tie Thursday.
- This is Anthony Rizzo’s ninth, hopefully not last, Cubs Opening Day start.
- Kuhl held Chicago to just 4 runs in 12.1 innings in 2020.
