:lol: I am pretty sure that JORR knows enough to be able to tell if this is Len or not.

I couldn't help sending hate mail to Chip. He's... terrible.
My only question is what strings you use on your bass. This is critical information. Also have you ever played your bass behind your head like Frank does?

:lol:

Hi All,

Len Kasper here (yes, it's really me). If there is a moderator who can confirm it's me via my registration information, that would be great. I used to occasionally do Cubs.com message board Q&As but that doesn't exist any longer and I've checked this board occasionally just to see what fans are saying outside of the Twitter world. I kinda like the "old school" nature of message boards sometimes. Anyway, if you have any questions or SUGGESTIONS (yes!), let me have 'em. Hope you're all doing well, thanks. Len


You started calling Cubs games in 2005 (I can’t believe it’s been nearly 15 seasons). Opening day at Bank One Ballpark was a doozy. Same cannot be said for Illini basketball later that evening!

Anyway, everybody was contributing that afternoon, including Derrek Lee — who never really cooled off that year. Had to look this up: He was batting a ridiculous .378 at the All-Star break and finally finished at .335 Is this your favorite single season performance from a Cubs player to cover/follow from the booth? Someone else top that or come close?

Cheers.

Hello there, I'm not quite sure I understand the question. I'm not particularly an expert on anything, I just talk baseball. And on objectivity, my "opinions" on things don't change. But while calling a baseball game, my duties as a pbp announcer are much different. I'm not a talk show host. Plus, I allow viewers/listeners to have their opinions too. Overly-opinionated pbp is not something I particularly like. Can you point to anything specific I've said and I'm happy to either say, 1) Here is why I said it or 2) Yeah, I was completely wrong on that one. Thanks!

Also, people who read and regurgitate sabermetric analysis produced by others are to sabermetrics what a guy looking into a telescope in his backyard is to astronomy.

Not sure we are "at odds" per se. What is it about my opinion of pitcher wins and batting average that you don't like? I do mention both as much as any pbp announcer, I just know what they mean in terms of evaluating players is all.

Eh, not nice. I love Chip. He's a good friend. Not a fan of hate mail, although I've gotten some (probably will get more on this board!). Part of the gig.
