This one's so we can start feeling hopefully.
If you're in Iowa, or somewhere else in the Cub's home market, you can buy a streaming subscription to Marquee for $20 a month. Well worth it as Marquee will be broadcasting all but seven games this year.I'm excited I can at least watch opening day on ESPN before getting blacked out for about every other broadcast they'll be on.
I'm not so pessimistic about Morel, he's still young and hoping regular reps at just 1 position is what he needs to get comfortable defensively. It's the best outcome if he can settle into 3B because we need production there and having his bat in the lineup is needed too. Have to have faith that Counsell wouldn't play him there if he is too much of a liability.
May take us as fans some time to adjust to a manager that has more expirience than Ross too as we kind of got used to the constant lineup mixes under him and Maddon along with questionable in game decisions by Ross. My hope is Counsell doesn't tinker as much with his regular lineups and lets guys settle into their roles.
Also excited to see some prospects make their way to Chicago this year and hope I can make some ICubs games before some.of them are called up for good. Should have a really good team in Iowa, kind of reminds me of right before the core of the 2016 made it to Chicago although I think some of these guys won't make as short of appearances at Iowa like Bryant at least.
I don't watch enough games to justify that subscription. Probably already paying for other ones i dont use as much as i should to justify them too. I've got a local watering hole that usually has Cubs games on if I really want to catch one.If you're in Iowa, or somewhere else in the Cub's home market, you can buy a streaming subscription to Marquee for $20 a month.

Unfortunately agree about Morel at 3rd. Think we see Shaw there full time at some point or platoon with Wisdom/Madrigal/Mastro?2024 Predictions:
- Shota will finish top 10 in the MLB in K's and along with Steele, will never hit the IL
- The Morel-3B experiment blows up in the FOs face. By May, everyone in the world hates it and is wondering what the **** we were thinking
- Belli and Hoerner take steps down
- Suzuki is a top 5 MVP finisher
- Along with Suzuki, Happ, and Swanson take steps forward with their bats
- We are flirting with .500 at the deadline but because they're more interested in 2025, no additions are made unless cap relief also happens
FINAL STANDINGS
Cubs - 85-77
Cardinals - 83 - 75
Reds - 83 - 75
Pirates - 79 - 83

I wouldn't think so, but MLB blackout rules don't make any sense.I see that they still say "subject to blackout and territorial restricts" on the Marquee App. If you get the streaming service though it shouldn't black out any games, right?
Unless you have a WIFI ISP like TMobile or Verizon. Since they typically connect to servers outside Iowa, the Marquee App blacks out the game because of MLB restrictions.If you're in Iowa, or somewhere else in the Cub's home market, you can buy a streaming subscription to Marquee for $20 a month.
