Ron Santo chats with Larry Rothchild on the Pre-game show:

• The Cubs will give guy innings early on and make decisions once they get half way through.
• Larry things fans will enjoy watching Kevin Gregg pitch in the 8th or 9th.
• Heilman has a real good change-up and is making adjustments with his delivery.
• Rothchild says that the Cubs will get guys going on the mound early on, and give them more rest later on in the spring.
• Ron and Larry mentioned the extended Spring Training (39 games!!!).
• Rothchild says Jeff Samardzija will get a chance to start and work on his 2nd and 3rd pitches. The Cubs know that if he starts he has to use his slider more.
• Larry says that the Cubs have lots of arm strength in camp.

Game Highlight: Micah Hoffpauir hit a Grand Slam in the bottom of the 5th to give the Cubs the 5-3 lead.

My Player of the Game: Hoffpauir
