If you missed it:

Family commitments will keep Cubs analyst Bob Brenly from broadcasting some spring training games that were added to Comcast SportsNet's schedule. Dan Plesac will fill in for five of CSN's remaining seven games. Brenly will work WGN's remaining three games

 

Does anyone find it awkward he's only available for WGN's games?

 

No, it's just those games were in the contract earlier. CSN decided to add a few games a month or two ago to their schedule, and by that time Brenly had apparently scheduled things for those days that he apparently didn't want to get out of.

 

I bet he's watching his son play baseball. It's his senior year, and once the season starts he's not going to have a chance to see him play.

Pie really needs to spend some time in AAA.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Come on, Z! Let's get a 1-2-3 inning.

[Balsa]

Pie really needs to spend some time in AAA.

He's had a really good spring so far, to judge him on that one AB isn't exactly fair.

Thank goodness. Now lets get that DP.

 

Murton kinda misses the cutoff man.

[98navigator]

Man, that could have been a nice DP.
