OT: Other Sports 74

[Marotte Marauder]

Kasper wanted to do radio for a long time.Period

Why Len Kasper left Cubs TV for White Sox radio

 

[HeisenBaez]

I find this to be a weird take. Almost like the dude that gets dumped by his girlfriend but is in denial about it.

That's a rumor that is making the rounds, it's not something I am making up.

 

[HeisenBaez]

I wonder if Stone may be contemplating this being his last year

He is 74 after all

Kasper could do radio for year and then slot into booth for 2022 season

And Kasper said he wanted to be the voice of the Cubs till he retires. I still say the WS are merely a pit stop on his career. I still believe he will return to the Cubs in a few years, once all this mess is cleared up.

Hadn't seen Sarava's post saying the same thing. That's hilarious.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Kasper is PBP, Steve Stone is an analyst. They are not interchangeable parts.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

TV to radio isn’t a sideways move. Kasper was forced out for reasons or he wanted out for reasons.

Especially from a team like the Cubs to the Sox. And I genuinely don’t mean that as a shot. Stone is great. He was ousted because the Cubs players were being children.

Stone was a one trick pony though. If it was not a "slider , low and away" analysis Stone was and still is pretty worthless. So I did not lose sleep over Stone leaving the Cubs. Jim DeShaies is so far ahead of him is not even worth a debate.

I will say this, if they could pair Kasper with Stone, they should do it because that's the only way to make Stone tolerable.

Just a whole bunch of nonsense in this post.

This is so unbelievably wrong.

Stone is like watching Tony Romo, he's steps ahead of the viewer in his ability to predict what pitch is coming.

We get it though. DeShaies works for the Cubs, Stone does not, therefore DeShaies >>> Stone.

Let's call a spade a spade: You don't watch White Sox games, so you have no idea how good or bad Stone is over the last decade.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Yea. Stone is fantastic.

 

[BK]

Yeah I like Stone.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

White Sox are the only hope for me and I assume alot of other Chicago sports fan ,, Get another SP and a RF and win the Central

 

[RayP]

Never been a Stone fan, always found him annoying. No denying he knows what he’s talking about, though.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Just a guess

Kopech, Madrigal and Collins to Tampa
Snell

Dunning to philly for Jean segura or sign Marcus Semien

Sox sign Brad Hand and resign Alex Colomw

Sox sign Trevor Bauer to a 3 year $105 million dollar deal with a player option after one year

While I have at least some hope for the Sox, I do not believe that ownership will allow them to compete for a World Series. I think they'll make a lot of playoff appearances and fall short.

Bauer makes too much sense for the Sox to actually happen.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bauer makes too much sense for the Sox to actually happen.

No doubt

It would be nice if Reinsdorf acted like a major market owner for a change. Now is the time. He will be 85 in a few months.

Lol. There is always so much bitterness when it comes to you and the Sox.

Stone is absolutely phenomenal, and I'd argue is probably one of the best analysts in baseball.

I used to think that about Stone when I was young. He may not be awful but Stone is nowhere near being "one of the best analysts in baseball". I was glad the Cubs let Stone leave.

Reinsdorf spends $ when team has chance to compete

Also it was just two years ago Sox went after Machado with 200M+ deal so lets not act like Jerry is Bill Wirtz

They offered him $50,000,000 less than what he signed for lol.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Yeah, you 100% cannot site the Machado pursuit as an example of Reinsdorf not being cheap when... it was a prime example of him being cheap.

He's all about making it look like they're interested so after they can say, "Well, we tried."

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

LOL he is on block

Multiple sources claim it and that is such a over the top statement from Middleton

Wheeler could be good pickup for White Sox

Kopech+ to Phills
