Subject: Opening Day report from Braves Field

The Cubs and Braves duel in an exhausting 14 inning affair.
 
=====================================================
 
Both teams got quality pitching for the most part, yet there were lots of hits (28) and the Cubs drew 7 walks.  There were lots of LOB too (20) and critical GIDP (4, all by the Cubs).
 
The Cubs will surely lead the league in grounding into DPs this year if we get any baserunners, as "gb(A)" seems to be our favorite result, whether runners are on base or not.  Boston had considerable trouble on the bases this game too: 2 CS, 1 pickoff, and 2 runners nailed at the plate.
 
GIDPs weren't Chicago's only baserunning misfortunes: we had a runner CS and one gunned at the plate too -- both on the same play.  Alleged bat control wizard Eddie Stanky missed the pitch on a suicide squeeze attempt and left Roy Smalley hung out to dry.
 
Boston reached CHN starter Paul Minner for an immediate run in the first inning, meanwhile the Cubs were hitting into DPs in each of the first three frames.  But we managed to eke out a run in the third before terminating the threat.
 
Neither side scored again until the 13th.  Randy Jackson singled home Stanky, who had walked and successfully stolen a base (!).  Good thing we got that run, because we choked one right back in the bottom of the inning on Sid Gordon's down-to-their-last-out double.
 
Finally in the 14th the Cubs sealed it up: Chuck "Rifleman" Connors broke out of his career-opening 0 for 5 slump and led off with a double and was bunted to third.  Pinch hitter Hank Edwards delivered an RBI single and 3 batters later Jackson come through again, this time with a very difficult ballpark homer on what will probably be our final good split card of the season.
 
Monk Dubiel made a successful debut in the bottom of the 14th and retired the Braves to preserve our 6-2 win.  Ellis Kinder got the W despite his typical choke; Mickey McDermott tossed 10 strong innings for Boston; and Dutch Leonard provided 4 scoreless innings of relief for the Cubs.  Erv Palica pitched 1 inning and took the loss for the Braves.
 
Alan
