Len Kasper calling Cubs/Sox on NBC Sports Chicago, pretend it’s 2016

[UMFan83]

If you can ignore the part where he only gets excited when the Sox do something good it’s almost a time machine.

 

Also, Len does a lot of TV games for a guy who was desperate to be a radio announcer.

 

Also Sox winning 2-0 and Rodon is mopping up the Iowa Cubs

Anyone else hear Boog tell Sutcliffe to stop touching his shoulder? Then Sutcliffe said Len used to tell him the same thing but he's not going to stop. So horsefeathering weird.

I’m still more sad about losing Len than any of the rest of the boys :|

NBCSN? It's showing Olympic Golf for me

You can tell Boog and JD do not like Sutcliffe in the booth.

Fielden Culbreth decided he didn’t want the Cubs to have 2 on with 0 outs.

[muntjack]

Rodon clearly spit on the ball before his curveball to strike out Happ in the 2nd. Are they looking the other way on that now?

[Derwood]

Cubs are going to hang an L on Alzolay during his best outing of the year

[Derwood]

yep

[Derwood]

Wow, 5 hits and 17 K's? These kids are fitting right in!

Obviously wins and losses don’t matter this year but I wonder how much the FO is evaluating Ross during these games and how well players develop until his leadership

I feel like JD will leave as soon as his contract allows

My conspiracy theory is he was brought on to get his old teammates to sign on at below market and will be dumped once they start trying again

If they replace JD, hopefully they go after someone like Mark DeRosa and not Sutcliffe or Grace or Dempster. Although outside of the fill-ins, Dempster surprisingly annoys me the least.

Marquee has gone out of their way to make every bad decision possible with the booth. Len and JD worked perfectly. Then Marquee comes in and changes the dress code, And then shoehorns in a third person. And then hires Boog, who apparently gets to take 1/4 of the games off. And then hires the worst possible third wheels possible.
