Rodon velocity is way up with extra rest

I would try to get him extra rest from here on out. Schedule some bullpen days started by Kopech. Bummer looks back and with Kimbrel, you ought to be able to stretch Kopech out.

Len is so much easier on the ears then Jason IMO. He lets the game breathe.

That’s a great way to put it.  He goes nice and easy, engages Stone appropriately, and most importantly, doesn’t try and jam so much of the cornball routine into every available second during the telecast.  Don’t get me wrong, I think Benetti is a good announcer.  I just think he could be far better if he took a page out of Kasper’s book.  Maybe in time.

Both Len and Steve are baseball announcers. Benneti more suited toward basketball, boxing, MMA. Baseball is too slow for his style and taste. Just hope he stays so us radio listeners get him for 120 or so games a year. Len and DJ are great.

Is Len at the park, or still out of the Jerry Springer studios in NBC tower?

Would not be shocked in a couple of years, Jason takes a national job.

I'm pi**ed that the Cub have a hit. They deserve nothing. 

Couple of hard hit balls right into the shift.

He and Stone are in the booth at Wrigley

I would be. Sox TV is his dream job

Benetti will stay, and even if he doesn't, Kasper specifically left the Cubs so he could do radio. If Benetti left he wouldn't take the TV job

Careful Jason's family is here. 

Keep giving Rodon an extra a day or two please

Crazy how big of a difference 5 MPH makes on your fastball huh.

Pitching him that day in KC where it felt like it was 110 degrees still doesn't make any sense. 

Bad change up goes for a double. Carlos needs to stop throwing that today. 

All sliders to Wisdom. 

More offense would be dandy.

I wouldn't be so sure on the final statement. He left for a radio job now, but didn't say he wanted to move and remain on radio broadcasts the rest of his life.

Steve Stone also took a radio job with the Sox to transition into TV. The Sox have a better handle on the timeline for Steve (retire) and Jason (leave for something else).

Kasper said his goal was to be a radio voice, plain and simple

Hope Eloy's groin is okay after sprinting out that infield hit. I am so scared now for any player who has to strain themselves running down the first base line. Keep thinking another injury is going to happen. 

Hopefully his gf is nursing it for him. 

No fan base loves the 175 foot flyout quite like the Cubs'

Leury!

That's easily a homer at home.

The good news, a double.

The bad news, continued everyday Leury.

Once Robert is back, Leury will probably only play a few times a week in RF. 

Collins is simply awful. He’s easily getting sent down
