    1. Shulman is no longer doing Sunday Night Baseball. Shulman will still call MLB on ESPN games throughout the season both on TV and on Radio (albeit in an limited role)

  4. The Cardinals at Cubs game tonight on ESPN (7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT) has been postponed due to weather. Jon Sciambi was slated to give the play-by-play for this game with analysts Rick Sutcliffe and Tim Kurkjian.
