Winning a World Series has its costs. The cost for the Cubs was the ensuing years after their championship in 2016. They were filled with underachievement. First, it came under Joe Maddon, and then, once more, in David Ross' first mini-season at the helm in 2020.Chicago Cubs face coverings

"One thing [Sosa] and McGwire do [well] is . . . your belly button or belt buckle is your power point.

“These guys train to get 33, 34 starts in,” Hottovy said. “So they’re going to really want to do that. At some point we can have all these thoughts on, ‘this guy’s only going to get 28 starts, this guy’s going to get 25 starts.’ But in the end, the communication is the biggest thing, and how a guy feels. If he needs an extra day, we’re going to build in those extra days.”



This move comes off as incredibly cheap and is one that would only naturally lead to a backlash. The Blue Jays are supposed to be Canada’s team and now those who relied on the radio broadcasters to bring the games to life will be affected for no good reason other than saving a small amount of money.Los Angeles Angels face coverings
