Welcome back Cubbers!

Today is Wednesday, March 28th and the big Cub’s news of the day is that Max Szczur and Tommy La Stella both made the 25 man roster and will be with the team on opening day roster, the Cubs also moved Brian Duensing to the 10 DL with back spasms. The La Stella move comes as somewhat as a surprise after he cut off contact with the team after being demoted to AAA last year mid-season, we will see if similar issues arise this year. It is also a good sign that Szczur and his magic bats will be on the roster in 2017 after showing potential in the outfield in 2016.

The Cubs were in action today aginst the Oakland Athletics in Mesa today and the boys picked up a hard fought W in one of their final tune up games of spring training. The final score of the game was 15-11 Cubs in a high scoring affair. Kyle Schwarber started off the scoring in the bottom of the 1st with a SchwarBomb to center.

Albert Almora Jr. continued his hot spring with a followup Grand slam dong later in the inning that brought Heyward, Zobrist and Conteras home. Conteras then proceeded to send one out to the opposite field in the 3rd and then Schwarber finished off the cubs donging for the day with one last SchwarBomb in the 4th. All in all a good day for dongs.

The Cubs next action is aginst a short series aginst the Houston Astros in Houston then Opening Day at the Cardinals on 4/4/17. We’ll be sure to keep you updated with all things Cubs as we get closer to Opening Day. Have a great day Cubbers!
