Cubs Spring Training 2021

[UMFan83]

Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere, but what happened to Marquee showing ALL spring training games? They have shown a grand total of ONE thus far. Two others aren't even on TV for Chicago. The other was on ESPN (yesterday).

 

They announced that they would not be airing road games for health and safety reasons. Not sure why they cant use the visitor's feed and call the games from Sloan Park like they've done in the past, but I think that first game was not aired locally by SD so it may be why the game wasn't on, and of course yesterday was a national broadcast so no need to air on Marquee.

Okay, at least that makes some sense.

Adding to what UMFan said, MLB Network is running a number of spring training broadcasts either live or on delay, so you'll probably be able to pick up several non-Marquee games that way, including tonight's against LA.

Discussed/mentioned in game thread yesterday, but yeah. Pretty clear mechanical change from Maples with the shorter motion. Good thread.

 

I almost wonder what else we can get out of him. Been in the system for a decade. He just can't get his control under control. I imagine this is his last spring with us unless this new delivery unlocks something.
