Pregame Chatter: Cubs @ Reds; Another Stellar Lineup for Cubs

As the weather starts to gradually warm up, which in Arizona means getting closer to the inevitable 100 degree mark, the Cubs Cactus League lineups are starting to shape into more opening-day-like form. Today is no exception.

Jason Hammel (R) @ Reds – Alfredo Simon (R)
1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
2. Jason Heyward (L) RF
3. Ben Zobrist (S) 2B
4. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
5. Kris Bryant (R) 3B
6. Kyle Schwarber (L) C
7. Jorge Soler (R) LF

The game is at Goodyear Ballpark today at 3:05 CDT. I have a doctor appointment in Scottsdale at 10:30, which is about 50 miles from the park. I’m hoping to get there on time but it’s gonna be close. I’ll post video highlights on my Twitter account.
