Welcome to episode number 122 of the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of John Boy Media and once again presented to you by our friends over at Seat Geek.

Oh, look who's back. I feel like I haven't talked to him for months.

Months. I don't know if he's months, Stephen Beralta, the Chicago Cubs organization.
