He was never good, but he has regressed to a complete liability on the roster. They might as well replace him with a speedster. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk -
I have 2 full season tickets all to myself, ever since my brother decided to give up his half a few years ago. If anyone is seriously interested in a share, I'm sure we could work something out starting with next season. I can't make it to nearly as many games as I would like, and it is lot of work (mainly for my wife) to get rid of all the extras on Facebook/StubHub.

Bote is a better offensive and defensive option at 3B than Kris Bryant. Discuss. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I enjoyed Grace in the booth during Spring Training. Part of it was that he was there in person, but a bigger part was that Spring Training baseball lends itself more to guys just telling random stories with the game itself being largely irrelevant. He is just too much of a distraction for regular season games when the product on the field matters. It kills the flow of the broadcast. There is a time and place for "some" of his stories, but he is inserting them at the wrong time and the wrong place. There is a physical disconnect with him participating remotely, but even more significant is the emotional disconnect he has from everything around the current Cubs team. It feels like random sportscaster X telling stories that have nothing to do with the game. Sure, it would probably work a little better if he could be there in person, but not enough to actually make the broadcast better. Grace was my favorite Cubs player and I was excited to hear that he was being brought back into the organization, but it is time to rethink that role and try to find somewhere else to fit him in.

He took the walk and the ump called it a strike. After that, all bets were off and he had to protect. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Can we get Castellanos back? This is looking like the same dead ass lineup we saw most of last year. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Who is Jason Adam? I can't tell half of these generic righty relievers apart. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Nothing but walks and strikeouts. This brand of baseball sucks. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

It's going to be hard to hit him if he gets strikes called outside the zone both high and low. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Isn't this 3 nights in a row for Jeffress? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I don't know if it will be with the Cubs, but he could make himself a lot of money this year. What a difference a few years makes.

Kimbrell's stuff did look pretty good there, but then he leaves a straight fastball right down the middle of the plate. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I thought Grace was relatively enjoyable when he was physically in the booth in Spring Training, but this doesn't seem to be working. It feels way too forced trying to remotely inject him into the conversation during the game. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

The Cubs should have scored there, but this is still a dumb way to play baseball. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Ayo Dosunmu just announced he is returning to Illinois for another season. Kofi Cockburn is reportedly going to be announcing something this weekend, most likely that he is returning too. Please let this season happen somehow, the Illini are a legit national title contender.

I'm really curious what the sight lines are going to be like down the right field line. After getting a look on a few foul balls, it looks like a lot of netting bunched up over there. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Did they change the background noise again? It sounds like the game is being played next to raging floodwaters. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Dish Network? I thought they pretty much abandoned sports They most certainly did. I am a long time Dish subscriber and I finally gave up hope that they would carry any regional sports networks. It will be really interesting to see what happens whenever their current ESPN deal expires. Will they attempt to maintain some level of mainstream sports programming, or double down on their refusal to pay for sports? Either way, I'll be cancelling soon, as soon as I get through a few shows on my DVR backlog. Xfinity is cheaper (bundled with internet) and has Marquee, so it's a no-brainer.
