The Tribune's PWSullivan writes: 'MLB schedule makers did the Cubs no favors, almost ensuring the team will have to deal with substandard weather conditions for much of the first two months.'
Chicago Cubs left fielder Ian Happ, pitcher Kyle Hendricks, pitcher Marcus Stroman and right fielder Seiya Suzuki.
After one of the coolest spring training stretches in Arizona, the Chicago Cubs should be well prepared for a day like that.“I don’t know what’s going on,” manager David Ross said Sunday of the unseasonable spring weather. “We’ve only had a couple warm days, right? We say it prepares us for , but we’d be begging for this some days in Chicago.”The Cubs wound up with a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals before 15,261 in what technically was the final spring game.
“That was impressive,” Epstein said before the game. “I was telling someone I hope that’s a good omen.” Ross wasn’t upset with MLB for packing so many home games into the two worst months, weather-wise. He pointed to an early West Coast trip to Los Angeles and Oakland in mid-April. The Cubs also play a three-game series in Miami on April 28-30. They can keep their Arizona tans from fading, though they could be shivering in Chicago.
