Alcantara with a nice running catch in the left-center field gap
to retire the Giants after Turner struggled that last
half-inning.
I'd mention what inning it was but the game action is secondary
to the announce team which includes Sean Estes.
There they just said it is the top of the third.
Alcantara with a single following his defensive gem.

and, for those of you not watching the stream of the Giants'
game, Schwarber fell behind 0-2 on two good breaking pitches
from Vogelsong, then took a pitch (or two), fouled one off, then
homered.

"What do we know about Pierce Johnson? He wears number 80 and
has long brown hair under his blue cap."

Apparently the same level of preparation that Estes brought to
his game-day prep before his starts for the Cubs.

Addison Russel with a slick pick on a grounder to start what
looked like a double play but the batter beat the throw from La
Stella, I guess.

Looks to me like pitchers and catchers are taking this "pace of
game" stuff seriously. They're getting to the mound/plate
quicker than ever in this game.
I've also noticed it on the games I've seen on TV so far. When
the telecasts get back from commercial, the pitcher is
delivering the first pitch.

Schwarber appears to have excellent speed to first.

Something I noticed during Kyle Schwarber's second AB is that he
was standing nearly in the front of the batter's box.
That is extremely unusual these days. Most, if not all, hitters
stand at the back of the box. The only Cub of recent vintage I
can remember off the top of my head that didn't is Alfonso
Soriano
I wonder if that is something he does all the time or if he was
trying to get this particular pitcher's slider before it broke.
