MESA, Arizona — Wednesday notes…
Here are today’s particulars.
Colin Rea will start for the Cubs. Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Hunter Harvey, Caleb Thielbar, Hoby Milner and Jacob Webb.
Mitch Spence will start for the Royals. Other Royals pitchers scheduled today: Matt Strahm, Mason Black and Frank Mozzicato. The Royals are a split squad today.
No TV or radio today. This is the last Cubs game this year that will have no broadcasts. All remaining spring games will be on either TV or radio or both.
Please visit our SB Nation Royals site Royals Review. If you do go there to interact with Royals fans, please be respectful, abide by their individual site rules and serve as a good representation of Cub fans in general and BCB in particular.
As we have done in the past, we’ll have a first pitch thread at five minutes to game time and one overflow thread, 90 minutes after game time. For today, that will be 3 p.m. CT and 4:30 p.m. CT.
These threads will not post individually onto the front page; instead, you can find links to them in the box marked ”Chicago Cubs Game Threads” at the bottom of the front page. There will also be a StoryStream on the front page with all the game thread links, as well as the recap after the game is over. The pitcher photos and regular-season stats will return on Opening Day.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
