They won their division last year. We went 78\u201384 and missed the playoffs. But if we&#8217;ve started 6-1, we&#8217;re showing we can compete with anybody.<\/p>\n<p>The Guardians have Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez\u2014one of the best players in baseball. Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez is a Gold Glove defender at short. Triston McKenzie is a quality starter. They&#8217;re always well-coached and fundamentally sound.<\/p>\n<p>We have Tyler Glasnow on the mound again. Jackson Merrill at shortstop. Pete Crow-Armstrong in center. If we won yesterday (hopefully), we&#8217;re looking to keep building momentum this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>For Cubs fans, this is Game 2 in Cleveland\u2014another chance to beat the AL Central champions on the road.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the Cubs Stand After Seven Games<\/h2>\n<p><strong>2025 Record: 78\u201384<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We missed the playoffs last year, but if we&#8217;re 6-1 through seven games, that&#8217;s an incredible start. Tyler Glasnow has been dominant. Jackson Merrill is exceeding expectations. Pete Crow-Armstrong is showing he&#8217;s ready.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Players:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tyler Glasnow (SP):<\/strong> Has been excellent, gets another start<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jackson Merrill (SS):<\/strong> Has looked great through seven games<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pete Crow-Armstrong (CF):<\/strong> Elite defense with real offensive growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Top Prospects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cade Horton (RHP):<\/strong> Made his debut, showed promise<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matt Shaw (INF):<\/strong> Contributing with versatile play<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kevin Alc\u00e1ntara (OF):<\/strong> Toolsy outfielder still developing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;re (hopefully) 6-1 after seven games.

Triston McKenzie is a quality starter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Players:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez (3B):<\/strong> Perennial MVP candidate, one of the best in baseball<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez (SS):<\/strong> Gold Glove defender with developing offense<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triston McKenzie (RHP):<\/strong> Quality starter, gets the start today<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Top Prospects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chase DeLauter (OF):<\/strong> Athletic outfielder with upside<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kyle Manzardo (1B):<\/strong> Power bat trying to establish himself<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gavin Williams (RHP):<\/strong> Young pitcher with potential<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Guardians are (hopefully) down 0-1 in the series and looking to bounce back.<\/p>\n<h2>The Matchups That Matter Today<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Position<\/th>\n<th>Cubs<\/th>\n<th>Guardians<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Third Base<\/td>\n<td>Matt Shaw<\/td>\n<td>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Center Field<\/td>\n<td>Pete Crow-Armstrong<\/td>\n<td>Chase DeLauter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Starting Pitcher<\/td>\n<td>Tyler Glasnow<\/td>\n<td>Triston McKenzie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Matt Shaw vs Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez at Third<\/strong><br \/>\nShaw is contributing as a versatile prospect. Ram\u00edrez is one of the best players alive. Shaw has shown he belongs early in the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pete Crow-Armstrong vs Chase DeLauter in Center<\/strong><br \/>\nPCA has elite defense and is showing offensive growth. DeLauter is still developing. PCA should have the advantage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyler Glasnow vs Triston McKenzie<\/strong><br \/>\nBoth are quality starters. Glasnow has been dominant early in the season. McKenzie is solid for a division winner. Glasnow should keep rolling.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Cubs Need in Game 2<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tyler Glasnow Stays Dominant<\/strong><br \/>\nHas been excellent through the first week. Against the AL Central champs, keep it going. Six or seven quality innings keeps us rolling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jackson Merrill Keeps His Hot Start Going<\/strong><br \/>\nIf he&#8217;s been great through seven games, keep building on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pete Crow-Armstrong Continues Impressing<\/strong><br \/>\nHas shown real growth. Another quality performance on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Winning<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Guardians won the AL Central. We (hopefully) beat them yesterday. Keep building on our incredible start.<\/p>\n<h2>What Cleveland Will Bring<\/h2>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez will try to bounce back. Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez will make smooth defensive plays. Triston McKenzie will try to even the series.<\/p>\n<p>The Guardians will compete at home, but if we&#8217;re 6-1, we&#8217;re rolling.<\/p>\n<h2>Cubs Fan Prediction: We Keep Rolling<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Final Score: Cubs 5, Guardians 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tyler Glasnow is excellent again\u2014seven innings, two runs, eight strikeouts. Continues his dominant start. Triston McKenzie battles but gives up four runs.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Merrill goes 2-for-4 and stays hot. Pete Crow-Armstrong makes another highlight catch and drives in two.<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez goes 2-for-4 with a homer. But we keep our incredible start going.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re 7-1. Best start in years. Keep building momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>Why This Game Matters<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re (hopefully) 6-1 through seven games. The Guardians won the AL Central last year. Win today and we&#8217;re 7-1\u2014our best start in years.<\/p>\n<p>Can Tyler Glasnow keep dominating? Will Jackson Merrill stay hot? Can we keep beating quality teams on the road?<\/p>\n<p>We went 78\u201384 last year. The Brewers won the Central at 86\u201376. Starting 7-1 would prove we&#8217;re legitimate contenders in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go Cubs Go!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 4, 2026 | Progressive Field,
