astros announcers

Anyone else listening to the astros announcers? They just said that the Cubs might have made some of their offseason moves to get more left handed to help because they struggled against righties last postseason. But the Cubs would never admit this publicly. Guess the announcers are still in spring training mode

Milo Hamilton hates the Cubs.

He’s said as much. It’s not surprising they’d say something like that.
