I had to check if my memory was correct. Yes, that is Adbert Alzolay on the cover photo for the first time this year. Once or twice per year, I point out that the cover photo is a living, breathing spoiler alert for the WPA Play of the Game. In a game where there wasn’t a lot of good, hat tip to Adbert for being one of the positives. This team needs him to be effective in some role. Baby steps.
April 27th. That is the last Cubs game before this that I recall as completely non-competitive. Hat tip to Dylan Cease and San Diego’s closer, Robert Suarez, for making a 3-0 game a completely uncompetitive game.
