Schwarber is catching.

Rondon's slider looks horrible.

Schwarber charged with a passed ball, but then threw a seed to
2B to nail Marwin Gonzalez trying to steal.

They're going with their best lineup for game 1:

Very interesting that Joe goes with his likely playoff lineup in
Game 1, despite the acquisition of Jay and the strong spring by
Almora, and the talk of Baez being in a super-utility role.

Actually I'm surprised to see Heyward in center. I wonder how
often we'll see that this season.
That's probably not our strongest defensive outfield alignment.

I suspect Baez will be at second base for almost all of Lester's
starts. His tagging ability is needed with Lester's problems
holding runners.

I hate the order but that is the best we've got.

Wouldn't shock me if #1 and #4 weren't flipped by mid-season.

"Super Utility" is not a pejorative term anymore in MLB. The
industry really values these guys and it's not necessarily
synonomous with "bench guy" anymore. We are going to see a ton
of different lineups with Cubs this season, at least if the
position players stay healthy.
Lot of factors go into each day's lineup. I wonder if, in part,
Maddon wanted to avoid picking between Jay and Almora for
Opening Day. Game 2 very likely has changes. And perhaps another
different lineup for game 3.
