Pregame Chatter: Cubs v Dbacks; Check Out This Lineup
The lineup for today is up and it (mostly) confirms the rumors we’ve been hearing. It’s going to be a fun St. Patty’s day watching this nationally televised game (ESPN). Start time today is 6:05 CST so most Cubs fans should be able to watch and will be in for quite a treat.
Jason Hammel (R) @ Diamondbacks – Archie Bradley (R)
1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
2. Jason Heyward (L) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Kris Bryant (R) 3B
5. Kyle Schwarber (L) C
6. Jorge Soler (R) LF
7. Addison Russell (R) SS
8. Munenori Kawasaki (L) 2B
9. Jason Hammel (L) P
The lineup rumors from earlier had Ben Zobrist at second base but instead we’ll see Kawasaki fill that spot. This is as close to a regular season lineup as we’ve seen so far this spring and it’s the first time I can remember seeing Schwarber at catcher so far in Cactus League play. If you’re going out to see the game today have fun and be safe!
