There will be a mid season skid, there always is. How the Cubs respond is always the question.

I think it's great, gives us a good idea of where we stand against the other top NL contenders right away. We can start stacking wins in May, right now it's about treading through April.
Let's hope it is just a front loaded schedule and not one of those seasons when everyone you face seems to be playing their best ball of the season just in time for a series with you.
Hopefully he explodes and allows us to trade for a top of the rotation starter. Would love to have him here for 10 years but Alcantara seems like the best possible option for future LF as he can also play center allowing us to has a hit first 4th OF.
I would agree if the Cubs were multiple game under .500. We're 4 games above with this schedule to date. That's pretty awesome.
Not a big fan of anticipating hard/easy stretches of the season. I get it- but a season is like a roller coaster for most teams. Even bad teams have hot spells. I believe this hard/easy stretch was based on 2024 win/loss, so I not counting on May being easy.
It's all about cranking out series wins- one at a time.

It's not just about how many wins a team had last year. It's obvious early in the year the Dodgers/Padres/Arizona/Texas look like legit playoff teams and their records so far back that up. Even Oakland has been better than people expected.

If it is the latter, might as well keep winning those series all the way to the end.
Oh I'm good and agree on the schedule to date. Good teams, good wins.
I'm not a fan of saying May will be easy because those teams were bad in 2024. The difference for a team being a 80 vs 92 game winner is slight- basically a couple wins a month.
