The Cubs lost 6-3 in another non-compelling loss, but there was roster news. And college games are fun on Fridays.

I take a look at a few barnburner matchups between Duke and Florida State, and Vandy UCLA. I also learn to pronounce Mlodzinski, and wonder if Cornell goes over 6.5 hits against Cole Wilcox and Emerson Hancock.

The Cubs offense didn't, so I talk about a few pitchers and MLB and Coronavirus concerns

A sister-kisser in Goodyear as the Cubs tie 6-6 with Luis Lugo tossing the ninth, and part of the reason northern fans are so tribal about baseball.

Among the joys of prioritizing minor league games? Heart-wrenching losses are less final. Quite a few Cubs did well today, and I look at some of them. Including one of the Kaleidoscope of Monarchs.
