So, I know its only game 3 - but serious question.
Why is Ballesteros the DH for the Chicago Cubs right now?
Kid may grow into it but he is not ready yet. Making me really question letting Cassie go. Yes - we are OF heavy, but.... Someone talk me down here - cause Im not feeling this...

#Cubs lose to the Nationals 6-3 to take the Opening Series. Shota Imanaga gave up a three run homer in the first inning and the Cubs were not able to come back. Alex Bregman hit two home runs, Ian Happ hit one, but Hoby Milner gave up a 2 run homer in the 8th to put this one away
Cubs lose the opening series against the nationals
Good for the Nationals because that franchise has been struggling ever since their world series’ win back in 2019, but it’s hard not to be disappointed with the cubs opening set. Giving up 18 runs over a 3 game set at home just isn’t great
#Cubs
Nats 6, #Cubs 3, “Unsettling.”
- We’re going to fret about Shota for as long as he’s in the rotation.
- Two homers for new Cub Alex Bregman. He will surely tire of the lack of base runners in front of him.
- Extremely quiet day for the offense. Team intensity didn’t match Nationals. Recap later.
How often do the #Cubs put up double digits to even a series, only to lose the rubber game in said series? Data, please.
L- Not that big of a deal, but dropping 2 of 3 to the Nationals is NOT how the #Cubs wanted to start the season #THIS
Final: Nationals 6, Cubs 3

#Cubs lose 6-3.
Game just isn’t going the Cubs’ way today but Bregman hitting two homers today is a positive. Glad to see him getting it going

#Canada 's pride, Owen Caissie, loving life with his new team.
#Cubs are going to regret that deal...
Awesome. Trash ass bullpen again this year I see. Nice. #Cubs gonna drop opening series against a basement team. Sweet. 😑👀 #MLB
I'm "up to speed" on Hack Wilson. He drank himself out of baseball, and died a despised, penniless outcast. #Cubs
Jim Belushi met Harry Caray exactly once, when his Second City Troupe was all together in the booth. But every time he conducts The Stretch he pretends they were good buddies. I met Harry more times. Well, 1 more time. #Cubs
Today's #Cubs Fan of the Day is Taylor McGregor for refusing to give a foul ball to a Cardinals fan. #GoCubsGo
