Here are today’s particulars.
The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup.
Rangers lineup:
Cade Horton will start for the Cubs. Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Ethan Roberts, Ryan Rolison, Collin Snider and Vince Velasquez.
Jacob deGrom will start for the Rangers. Other Rangers pitchers scheduled today: Kumar Rocker, Chris Martin, Cole Winn and Gavin Collyer.
No TV or radio today. That’s really kind of a shame because this is a good pitching matchup, even if neither starter is likely to go more than four innings.
MLB.com Gameday
Here is the complete MLB.com live streaming page for today.
Please visit our SB Nation Rangers site Lone Star Ball. If you do go there to interact with Rangers fans, please be respectful, abide by their individual site rules and serve as a good representation of Cub fans in general and BCB in particular.
As we have done in the past, we’ll have a first pitch thread at five minutes to game time and one overflow thread, 90 minutes after game time. For today, that will be 3 p.m. CT and 4:30 p.m. CT.
These threads will not post individually onto the front page; instead, you can find links to them in the box marked ”Chicago Cubs Game Threads” at the bottom of the front page. There will also be a StoryStream on the front page with all the game thread links, as well as the recap after the game is over. The pitcher photos and regular-season stats will return on Opening Day.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
