Method, you are right about Alex Rodrigues as announcer -  he’s terrible, worse than a girl.

ACtually ESPN has a couple of girls' that announce WAY better then he does.

I thought it was funny when ARod was talking about his routines and checking the flags earlier like he played at Wrigley regularly. He played 6 games there in his career according to Baseball Reference. He doesn't have anything especially interesting to add, he's just regurgitating what he's heard other announcers say.

Dansby Swanson takes an inside pitch that hits his bat, but somehow the umpires are calling it a HBP.  Are they punishing Tepera?  It clearly hit the bat but Swanson is jumping around like he got hit on his body somewhere.

Cubs get two baserunners and then strike out three times in a row.

According to Stats, Inc, Braves had a 95% probability of winning the game tonight before Cubs even came up in the first inning.

Commissioner is looking into that because it seems like an unfair advantage for the road team.

They may tinker with that in the Atlantic League this season.

Glad to hear the commissioner is on his toes. . . .  These off days are true blessings.

I think they had a 95% chance of winning when the schedule was announced.

Of all MLB hitters with at least 27 PA's, Sogard is the 7th worst hitter in MLB this year. He brings nothing to this team.

Nonsense.  He's the poster child for Anti-Vaxers.
