Glad to see Cubs fans will be getting a superior PBP man than what they are used to.

That is unfair to Len though, since Jason gets to watch two portions of the playing field at the same time.

Morrow was supposed to just be a bridge to allow Edwards' development in the 7th/8th and be ready to close in the playoffs.

Oops. Edwards is this generation's LaTroy Hawkins, without the longevity.

That can't be true. I've been told Cubs fans didn't view Edwards as the closer of the future

Glad to see Benetti will get a chance to call an mlb October baseball game, he'll never get the chance with the bum ass Sox.

Agreed, I'd grade Masson a B plus and Epstein- Hoyer a C plus this year.

I have heard all day about how the Rockies kill lefties this year, so maybe another left hander would not be the way to go. Perhaps using Hendricks and swapping Hamels to begin the next series VS the Brewers, who don't hit lefties as well, might be the way to go.

Interesting bench tonight. I don't see how Almora finishes this game unless they blow Freeland out the first or second time around the order.
