Not great!
Nice! Maybe they got tired of waiting around on the lefties. So they picked up probably the best right hander still on the market.
Still expecting the lefty too........Nice! Maybe they got tired of waiting around on the lefties. So they picked up probably the best right hander still on the market.
He’s absolutely the kind of failed-starter, turned reliever that the Cubs have been so successful with over the last few years.
Still only 30 years old. Probably good for about 65 innings and an ERA right around 3.00. Will probably be given the chance to be the closer.
Now the Chicago Cubs have confirmed that they plan to offer an in-market streaming option as soon as the opening day of the 2023 season.
“We’re still looking at that,” chairman Tom Ricketts told reporters at the Cubs’ spring training camp. “And I think the most important thing with our direct-to-consumer is we just want to do it right the first time. We want to make sure when we do have it out there, it’s a good value to the fans. We realize that the way people consume the game is changing. We want to make sure we accommodate that. But it’s kind of like a measure-twice-cut-once thing for us. We want to make sure we do it right, and that may mean it’s not 100% ready to go for Opening Day. But we’ll see where it goes.”
Anywhere near 102nd & Lowe?I was born in September 1961
we lived on the southside , in Roseland, but the Sox were not all the good in the late 1960's.
The Cubs were on WGN
The Sox were on WFLD 32 or W??? Channel 44 and UHF was kinda new and really all snowy on the 19" Zenith or Admiral TV my folks had back then.
My dad was more inclined to the Cubs, they were decent in 1967-1970 (real good until August in 1969) and becoming a Cub fan as a 6 or 7 year old was way easier for me due to TV mainly. Id run home from school at 3 and catch the last 2 innings of most weekday games.
The Sox on the UHF channels were unwatchable due to terrible reception.
thats my excuse
I still recall getting a "Cub Power" T shirt in summer 1969 and the Jewel giving out cheap 5*7 photos of Cub players - a different one every week.

I'll wait on the price tag and quality. This is the right move, but I'm not optimistic with the rollout.The Chicago Cubs Plan to Offer In-Market Streaming of Their Games
For someone like me who refuses to give up YouTube TV just for the Cubs, this is perfect.
Wow, sounds like my excuse too except I was born a few months before you and I grew up in south burbs. And I remember those photos from Jewel.I was born in September 1961

More likely to see more of Morel, Velazquez, and Mancini in the OF than anticipated. Davis only played 53 games last season, and the numbers weren't pretty. I bet he's in Iowa regardless...Right field will be interesting until Seiya is healed up. Maybe Brennan Davis gets a shot?
like you , I NEVER watch preseason games in any sport. They really mean nothing.I do not watch pre season exhibition sports. Not any league. It’s a point of principal for me verging on superstition.
I am repeating this to myself over and over again like a mantra to convince myself that the Cubs’ 6-game (6 outs from 7) Cactus League win streak, which included a no-hitter, is empty, meaningless and completely without interest to me.
I watched part of the first game to see how the new rules would work. First I have seen in years.like you , I NEVER watch preseason games in any sport. They really mean nothing.
Vegas refuses to put betting lines on the games for a reason
I don't mind watching Cubbie spring training games with a cold brewski in my hand and a warm AZ breeze blowing through my sun burnt scalp. My favorite game was when Sosa was playing. The ASU co-eds in right field would flash him between inningsI do not watch pre season exhibition sports. Not any league. It’s a point of principal for me verging on superstition.
