Hey! What’s the reason for the decrease in amount of games on TV? I thought the Cubs got more than 6 total spring games on TV!!! Even the 10 radio broadcasts seem low! Any reason for that?
When will the Cubbies distribute the numbers for the coaching staff and players? Some of the other teams have already completed most of theirs and we only have last yrs, which some may change numbers from yr to yr. Thank you.
Hope to get updated uniform numbers and list of non-roster invitees this week. Stay tuned.
