ST - 3/5 Cubs v. White Sox (Las Vegas) 3:05 CST, WGN-TV/670

[UMFan83]

I am assuming its ok to start the game thread.

 

Sox and Cubs continue their Spring Training series in Las Vegas. Aaron Heilman will take the bump for the Cubs in his next chance to compete for the 5th starters spot. Jeff Marquez goes for the Sox.

 

Len and Bob will call it on WGN TV, while the game is also available on the Score 670 AM with White Sox announcers Farmer and Singleton (I think?).

 

Not sure if the players who were at the SS in Arizona yesterday are going to come up to Las Vegas to play, I would assume not, so expect to see many of the same players that played yesterday. How fun.

MLB Network is airing this game, will it be the WGN feed or another crew?

Yeah, like I said I have no knowledge of the situation, but I doubt the Cubs would fly up Bradley and Lee to Las Vegas just to play in one Spring game, especially with the way Lou has operated this spring. That meaning, he isn't concerned with getting his starters in as many games as possible.

so far, MLBN has just been simulcasting whichever FSN or local sports network is carrying the game.

[PrimeTime]

Is there anyway to stream this online without having the pay for the mlb audio thing?
