    Happ was gunning for a hit. Anderson is bad at fielding.

    They're planning to have LA host next year.

    I'm with Derwood here. I love Pat and Ron, but there is a lot of ad reading going on in these games, even compared to just a handful of years ago. Is it tied to the Ricketts buying the team? I don't listen to the radio often, but the ad reads have easily tripled in the last few seasons That I couldn't guess at. There were a fair number of them in 2016 (the World Series blu-ray set edited out most of them in the Pat/Ron audio overlay feeds that were included), but not nearly to what I've noticed them being now.

    I didn't listen today, but I have honestly never noticed the ad reads being anything excessive. All the ads packed in behind home plate at Wrigley is much more offensive to me. I guess we're beyond the point of ads needing to be tasteful and now are just going to cram them in wherever there is open space. I'm with Derwood here. I love Pat and Ron, but there is a lot of ad reading going on in these games, even compared to just a handful of years ago.

    This guy is throwing nasty fastballs, but man take the damn bat off your shoulder.

    Hendricks riding the struggle bus against this lineup doesn't give me the warm fuzzies

    According to this, he had symptoms and took himself out of a game but tested negative repeatedly over the next couple of days.

    0-2 to walk, classic Bryant PA

    I'll have to do some reading on that antibody business, I don't think I'd heard that before.

    Sort of funny that every other Sinclair RSN is taking Marquee's bug from last year (with tweaks) while we get this far superior version.

    Season over

    OK, so I guess I'm just doing this? Less than 18 hours until first pitch and no thread so I'm just doing this. Baseball's back and the Cubs open up against the worst team in the division and possibly in the league. The last time Kyle Hendricks pitched on opening day he tossed a shutout. That would be cool to see again, and probably will be common against these Pirates. Win!

    Bulls '20-'21

    More moves Feels like flotsam for flotsam, but hey, new blood

    Bulls '20-'21

    Andy replied to Brian's topic in Other Sports

    I also just read that the pick this year is top 4 protected, so this prevents us from really getting burned if the Bulls cant make the playoffs Both of the picks are top-4 protected, apparently. This feels like a surprise - after last night's ridiculous loss to Cleveland I would've bet on another tank - but I guess with LaVine only signed one more year, AK was going to have to pick a lane pretty soon anyway, and this is the more interesting one. Kind of crazy that I was annoyed when the Bulls matched Sacramento's 4/78 offer for LaVine and now he's the cornerstone and almost certainly getting a max extension in a few months.

    Len definitely did one Q&A here. He might have bailed on a different one.
  17. Andy
    File this away for the next time we're told the Cubs 'can't afford' to sign a good player they desperately need
  18. Andy
    Alright, everyone make 4 or 5 posts making the completely obvious condemnation of Les Miles being a giant horsefeathers who abused his power in a disgusting way so that Jersey won't judge us

    It's not the most important issue coming out of this, but Kansas football continues to be FUBAR. They're not getting a coach worth a damn in March.

    Secondary market prices will probably be a bit higher, but I suspect the amount of people that don't want to/feel comfortable with going to a game before being vaccinated will keep things from being too out of control.

    I just canceled Hulu, in part because of Marquee being removed. I'm leaning toward ATT TV to get Marquee, or buying the MLB.tv package. Idk if MLB.tv applies blackout rules by your billing info or by your device location at the time of streaming. Does anyone use MLB.tv with a VPN? It uses your device location. I've never used it with a VPN, but a friend has and never reported any issues.

    Please let that inning be an indicator of absolutely nothing, Craig
  23. Andy
    I've heard him call himself Boog, but when he opened the broadcast the other day he said Jon.
  24. Andy
    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.
  25. Andy
    Whatever you call it, that was a really pretty full-extension swing and a nice AB to get from 1-2 to 3-2 leading up to it
