On Opening Day, the Cubs were not that team. Game 1, March 26: Nationals 10, Cubs 4 (0-1)Reminder: Heroes and Goats are determined by WPA scores and are in no way subjective. 0-4, RWPA Play of the Game: Daylen Lile batted with runners on first and third and one out in the fourth against Matthew Boyd. (.117)*Cubs Play of the Game: Pete Crow-Armstrong batted with runners on first and second and two outs in the third, the game tied at one. Let’s hope game two is dramatically different than game one.
