"The Cubs dropped their first series of the year to a not-good Nationals team at Wrigley Field. Worse, some of our early concerns over Matthew Boyd's effectiveness and Shota Imanaga's ability to keep it in the park weren't exactly alleviated."
"But - and I can't believe I even have to say this - my concern level is zero. Nada. Zilch. Sucks that they lost the series, and it means nothing other than the Cubs should have won at least one more game."
"The headline of this series, at least on the pitching side, is Edward Cabrera. The Cubs big offseason addition is making his Cubs debut tonight at Wrigley Field, with the wind howling out once again."
"Even if the Cubs pitching isn't great this week, their offense should be on track for some big games. Tonight's starter, Ryan Johnson, is a 23-year-old former second-round pick who has made just 14 relief appearances in his big league career."
The Cubs lost their first series of the season against the Nationals, raising concerns about pitchers Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga. Despite the loss, there is optimism for improvement as the Cubs prepare to face the Los Angeles Angels. Edward Cabrera is set to make his debut, while Ryan Johnson, a young pitcher, is expected to contribute. The Cubs' offense is anticipated to perform well, especially against a less formidable opponent.
