From MLB’s CHI Cubs Forum:

- “Usually those guys are pretty good, as far as opposing broadcasting crews go.”
- “They are good. They are just terribly bored.”
- “I bet, broadcasting that bunch, lol”
- “I can’t decide if these two youngsters, Valdespin and Lagares have real potential or not.”

- “If you put Matt Harvey and David Wright on any minor league team in the country, they’d probably be a better major league team than the Mets.”
