Alex, thanks for joining us.

Always.

What do you think of, I think we just have to start with your impression of that win after a really, really rough loss on Saturday that went into extras and then losing the first game of the series too on Friday.

Alex, you've seen Jamison Tyone's body of work.

We saw what happened last year where he gave up a bunch of home runs and then settled in, especially in that second half of the season and the playoffs.

How do you describe what you saw him working on in spring training and then how it's kind of manifesting itself or at least showing so far at the beginning of this year?

And Alex, he was pretty straightforward about it when he talked about, you know, it's not hard hit ball rate.

You can use a lot of metrics.

It was simply the fact that he was over 30.

So gives him a little bit of a rest.

We see him come on in the pinch hit scenario to help the Cubs win.

But what do you think of just the fact that Craig was pretty straightforward about it?

There wasn't a lot of other stats that were brought up.

You know, it can be that simple sometimes.

We are talking to Cubs play-by-play man Alex Cohen, who also, I want to get to the football stuff in a second.

But before that, I have to ask you, Javier Assad is on the mound tonight.

What do you think about his performance so far since getting called back to help?

I want to ask about the indoor football because I think you have a pretty fun side hustle being part of the team of announcers for the indoor football league.

What can you tell people about the sport you're calling when you're not calling Cubs?
