Video summary... 1. First game on the call today for Marquee Sports Network this season! 2. Need your help for the next episode of Cubs Now. Introducing a new segment called the Payoff Pitch. Want to be shown on the show? Pitch me! Cubs takes. Make it spicy. Tag... it! #PayoffPitchshow more

@WatchMarquee This offense is exactly what it’s going to be all season. Lotta guys with high floors but no superstar to elevate the lineup. #PayoffPitch

@WatchMarquee #payoffpitch i believe we need to score more runs than the other team to win

@WatchMarquee #PayoffPitch Matt Shaw can and will be a very reliable player for the Cubs. However, he has not looked comfortable in the OF or at 1B. Send him to Iowa to get more appearances at either position. Jonathan Long and The Jaguar need to be up. DFA Conforto.

@WatchMarquee Good luck today in your first game, Alex! My #PayoffPitch is that we need to DFA Conforto and Kingery and bring up Alcantara and another bullpen arm. OR they need to trade Alcantara while he is performing so well for another starter and/or multiple bullpen pieces #Cubs

@WatchMarquee Alex before hand today I’m going to need you to give me some numbers as to why you think the Cubs will be ok, as fans, we need your optimism

@WatchMarquee Hopefully Cubs will win today with you on the call. If they do, maybe you’re the good luck charm.

@WatchMarquee #payoffpitch Counsell needs to stick with one lineup and stop moving guys around! Creates a feeling of not knowing ur day to day roll for some players!

Have a great call!

@WatchMarquee The Cubs will rebound by mid May and be either tied, or in the lead, for the NL Central. They are near the top of the league in contact, and starter ERA. The process is there, the results now need to catch up ✅

@WatchMarquee Good Morning Alex! Great idea! Also great to have you on the call today buddy! I’ll think about my pitch 🤔

@WatchMarquee Which ballpark has the best food? #PayoffPitch

Here's a hot take, and it's a bit of a throwback as well. Personally, even though it was really underperforming at the time, Kyle Schwarber should have never been traded or let go from the Cubs. He has been thriving since he left. Imagine if we still had him. It was the COVID year, so it was odd for every player. I don't understand why we got rid of such a great player. #PayoffPitch

@WatchMarquee #PayOffPitch Mo Baller needs to be on 1st and the Cubs need to Unleash the Jaguar, Kevin Alcantara.

@WatchMarquee PCA is rolling over on pitches, needs to aim for center field. Best game of year for Dansby.

@WatchMarquee “Honey don’t bother me, Cohen is calling his first game today”

@WatchMarquee Cubs need to either see what Kevin Alcantara can do or package him with others for an ELITE Level Bat #payoffpitch

@WatchMarquee #PayOffPitch This benching of Busch (against a righty, too!) will be exactly what he needs. He will hit a home run his next start (not at-bat, in case he pinch hits today) and from there, the hits and homers will fall into place.

@WatchMarquee Be the spark this team needs Alex!!

@WatchMarquee Hmmm... This might be more of a general #MLB question, but I thought I'd try this on for size. Since all teams have just 2 per game, thoughts on the new ABS system in #MLB & when is the best time to challenge...Early or late? #PayoffPitch

@WatchMarquee Swear we got hot when u got in the booth last year, NEED that this year

@WatchMarquee #playoffpitch @voiceofcohen2 @LanceBroz who is the best second baseman in baseball outside of Ketel Marte and why is it Nico Hoerner? I firmly believe Nico should have been on Team USA over Bryce Trang

@WatchMarquee #SpicyTake Ian Happ is incredibly valuable to this Cubs offense
