7/24/20 - Brewers (Woodruff) @ CUBS (Hendricks) - 6:10 CDT - ESPN/FSWI

I forgot that Lorenzo Cain broke last year. If he stays broken, which, the 8 hole isn't projecting a lot of confidence, that is a very poor lineup.

 

LoCain - second highest paid CF in baseball in 2021 and tenth highest paid OF (as of now). That contract was good in 2018, meh in 2019 a wash i n 2020, but probably an albatross for a small market team in 2021 and 2022.

Albatross contracts don’t exist.

Don’t mean to derail the thread, just hate that phrase.

[PackLandVA]

Maybe not an "albatross", but definitely a problem for a small market team that chooses to stay under a certain overall team salary.

Love the lineup and love that I can bet legally on baseball now on the bet rivers app. Got the Cubs at -114. Plus they match your deposit 100% up to $250. Free $$$. Edited July 24, 2020 by Brian707

does youtube tv have espn?

 

(even if youtubetv had marquee you wouldn't be able to watch outside of the cubs viewing area - but you can on MLB.tv - for games that aren't already being nationally televised, that is)

 

Yes, YTTV has basically every near-mainstream sports channel save for maybe NFL Network.

 

that's what i figured

Sorry, this was stupid me last night thinking that the Cubs started play on Thursday and I didn't see them on my guide. I do have ESPN on YouTube TV.

 

Wait, even if YouTubeTV picks up Marquee Network I wouldn't be able to watch the games here? WTF?

correct. it's an RSN and it's not available outside the cubs territory. some RSNs are available everywhere with certain packages, like on directv's all sports package, and you can watch the other programming (but not games), but Marquee won't be, at least as of now.

 

if reddit streams aren't for you, you can easily watch them on mlb.tv though...and if you happen to have sprint or t-mobile as your cell carrier, you can get mlb.tv free right now (and a free one year sub to the athletic).

:-k

 

It’s fine, he could have not worn the BLM shirt but hard for him to hide his true feelings

I’ve never been so excited for something that I disagree with so much. Go Cubs!
