And with the return of Cody Bellinger, the season can finally begin! The Cubs finally found a solution for the Cody Bellinger-sized hole in their lineup, and he returns on the Jed Hoyer Special contract (short term, opt outs galore). We talk about that, the Cubs plethora of non-roster invites, PECOTA projections that have the Cubs right around .500…

2023: Chicago Cubs Season Review 40:01

4M ago40:01

40:01

Steele became an ace, we got the Tauch Off & Morel’s walk off grand slam that made him literally lose his shirt. The Ross Era also wrapped up in a weird way, as the team was both better and worse than we thought they could be at different times, leading to a result that was…literally exactly what we predicted in our annual season preview. We take t…

The Cubs: Putting the “Off” in Offseason 27:40

Happy holidays to all, but especially Jorge Alfaro, the Cubs biggest signing of the offseason so far. Adam and Kevin thought it was a good time to check in on where things stand for the Cubs as Ohtani chose a new, more local, consistently competitive home with the Deferrin’ Dodgers, Soto landed in New York, and the Cubs are in the news for NOT meet…

Hello Craig Counsell, Goodbye David Ross (and Marcus Stroman) 30:12

5M ago30:12

30:12

The Cubs have a new manager: Craig Counsell is leaving Milwaukee to come complain about weather delays more locally after signing a record 5-year, $40 million dollar deal. David Ross went from “our guy” to “anyone else’s guy” in a snap, and he’s not the only one out the door: Marcus Stroman has declined his option, freeing up more than $20 million …

World Series Recap: The Rangers Finally Get It Done 29:54

6M ago29:54

29:54

From one strike away to all the way there, the Rangers finally got rid of the the title of “oldest team to never win a World Series.” Game 1 was an all-timer, with Corey Seager’s 9th inning, game tying homer that reminded us of Kirk Gibson ’88, and Adolis Garcia’s extra inning walk off. And then…there were also other games. We recap the series, giv…

The Astros have been dispatched in what their fans surely think is a grand, unfair conspiracy that goes all the way to the top, and the Rangers will look for that elusive first World Series title against either the Phillies or Diamondbacks.

Former & Shoulda-Been Cubs Power the Phillies & the Ricketts Letter 35:05

35:05

Not a big week for currrent Cubs news, but a big week for former Cubs that weren’t offered a contract by our team. Schwarber and Castellanos are bombing the Phillies into a 2-0 lead in the NLCS, while the Rangers take two in Houston. We also talk a little about the playoff format and how it does or doesn’t favor the best teams, and peruse the lette…

Cubs Miss Playoffs, Hoyer Presser Reaction 32:06

7M ago32:06

32:06

Welp, our big postseason episode turned out to be a "post-season" episode. A brutal final week finished an excruciating final month that found the Cubs on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. Despite a 90+% chance to make the playoffs in early September, the team ran out of gas at a critical time. We talk about the final week and how we'l…

What a week: Ross smack-talking the Pirates after a bad loss, the Cubs sweeping the Rockies, and then maybe the worst loss of the year as the Cubs blow a 6-0 lead at the Braves, after a shockingly misplayed fly ball. We reset where the Cubs and the other Wild Card contenders are with five games to go, talk about Suzuki’s misplayed ball in right aft…

Here’s two things that are true: this week sucked, and this season is as good as it could have ever reasonably been. We go over the awful trip to Colorado and Arizona where the Cubs gave away their entire Wild Card cusion and another tie-breaker to the Diamondbacks, but also find ourselves on a bit of an island because, with the Cubs still .5 games…

Justin Steele’s gem against the Giants has finally made the national media start to wake up to our ace and legitimate Cy Young candidate, and Seiya Suzuki is finding the gear that made him a superstar in Japan. Add that to the fact that Assad has basically turned into early season Stroman, and this is really, truly feeling like a playoff team. We a…
