Pregame Chatter: Cubs v Indians

The Cubs take on the Cleveland Indians today at Sloan Park in Mesa at 1:05 PM, local time. The highlight of this game, undoubtedly, will be seeing Jake Arrieta pitch for the first time this spring. There has been a lot of talk about Jake and a possible contract extension lately and today will be a great chance to see the master at work, if only for a couple innings.

Here is the lineup:
Jake Arrieta (R)
vs. Indians – Corey Kluber (R)
1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
2. Jason Heyward (L) RF
3. Ben Zobrist (S) 2B
4. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
5. Miguel Montero (L) C
6. Addison Russell (R) SS
7. Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B
8. Dan Vogelbach (L) DH
9. Juan Carlos Perez (R) LF

This game will not be televised so I’ll be posting video highlights on Twitter and Facebook. Check them out.

I’ll be back later with a post-game summary. See you at the game!
