Len Kasper bails on Cubs TV, takes White Sox radio gig.   That's a score for the Sox.

He did retire a couple years ago, but no less true.  Kasper is very good. Rumor is Chris Myers is lead on Cubs gig.  Eeyeah.

Between MLB radio and Extra Innings, I'm fairly familiar with all local broadcasters, and he was/is/will be the worst

Yep.  My wife even chimed in on this as she overheard him.  He was so dreadful.  Negative WAR..

A pitcher could walk 100 batters a season for 27 years and have fewer walks than Nolan Ryan.

A pitcher would need to strikeout 212 batters a season for 27 years to have more Ks than Nolan Ryan.

The walks would be harder to do.  You're not going to have a job that long, walking 100 batters a season.
