Fox in their infinite wisdom
decided that in Montana they are showing the Mets/Yankees game.
Seriously WTF?
Stuck with audio feed tonight.
In Michigan it is Tigers Dodgers.
Going to watch that and listen to Pat and Ron.
Well at least you and Mr. Zeke
can listen to them . Up north it Tigers-Dodgers no Cubbies at all ?? Really upsets me .
You would think they would at least show
A west coast game

Seriously considering turning off the TV
and listening to Pat & Ron.
But either way, GO CUBS!

Not watching Fox...
if people continue to turn leave on when they pull stuff like this, they’ll continue to do it.
I’m listening to Pat and Ron and turning the TV off. If I’m not getting the Cubs here, I’m certainly not going to give Fox viewership for a game I don’t care about.

yeah well...
As a Cub fan in region but out of the Chicago network, I rather like that games occasionally get played regionally…are you opposed to the rest of the midwest being able to watch cubs games?
You're missing my point...
I live in DC, so we get Yankees-Mets, which I don’t care about. I’m suggesting this for people who aren’t getting the Cubs game locally.

but everyone gets it locally...as long as they have a TV?
if not, my mistake! i’m pretty sure locals are just complaining about the crappy broadcasting duo?
Fox has four regional telecasts.
If you’re not in a region that is getting Cubs-Rangers, you’re getting another game, and MLB.TV and Extra Innings are blacked out.

When you mean "bring in",
so you mean bring up from the minors, or a trade, or off the bench?

Yep, even when we try it we can't bunt.

thats why Lee is still valuable

Lee
always brings his glove. To bad his bat is currently lost.
He can still field at least

I doubt it...
The book isn’t out on him yet. The pitchers will eventually adjust their approach and he’ll struggle. Everybody’s got a book.

If he is as good as we think he is...
then he’ll adjust to the book. If that were the case, then nobody will hit over .300.

the book on him
was supposed to be low and away. But he’s already adjusted to that by going the other way.

I believe it.
When he first came up, I said the if he was as good as we thought he’d hit .275-.280. I’ve adjusted my thinking to .300-310. It’s not unreasonable, he makes contact so often and his speed allows for him to turn ground outs into singles.

we have
a few guys hitting over 300. yet we cant score enough runs to win on a regular basis.stop worrying about hurt feelings and move ramirez down. this is why the cubs cant win because everything hinges on lee/ramirez. as they go so go the cubs. not good.
