This is going to be a great match for Chicago. They improved quite well towards the end of last year, and picked up some great talent in the off-season.

I will say I was surprised Miami was able to keep it so close last week. Definitely looking forward to this match.

Someone on YT said that the weather played a role. Chicago is set to play more like a speed game, and rainy matches doesn't work as well when the ball is slippery.

I also give credit to Miami.... they were more ready than anyone probably believed.

As a whole, this is going to be a great year for the MLB.

@kb7qdi @usmlr the weather’s part of the game. Just like a muddy pitch is supposed to be.

That was a great kick.

IMO Chicago got outplayed by Utah. Utah had at least 4 set plays that Chicago couldn't defend well, while Chicago offense was pretty standard.

We won a lot of lineouts but couldn't do much with them.

Hoping for better as the season goes on. First home game is in two weeks.... me, my daughter, and my granddaughter will be there!

well Utah really ran away with it in the final 10.
