CCB #151: Who is this team with their back-to-back series wins? Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

Sara and Danny are back and the Cubs have back to back series wins. We break down great starts from Dr. Hendo and Valryian Steele, a rebound for Christopher Morel plus some truly epic Wisdongs that Statcast is definitely wrong about. They are also bummed that Ian Happ was robbed and should be on that final All Star Ballot. After the break we are previewing both the Red Sox series and the Brewers series due to the holiday weekend, so you will not want to miss this packed episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

CCB #149 Ennui Catuli Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

Sara and Danny are back and the Cubs are bad. They lost three of four to a Pirates team that is calling up top prospects who look every bit as good as advertised as the pitching and defense continues to struggle. But don't worry -- David Robertson got to bat. After the break they talk about MLB's latest ball scandal (do they ever stop?) and look ahead to a three game series in St. Louis against the most basic first place team in the league.

They are also talking about Contreras Day, tough roster decisions on the horizon. After the break they look at what ails Dr. Hendo and Mr. Kyle and preview four games against the Pirates that will include the 2022 debut of Oneil Cruz and a reunion with old friend José Quintana.

CCB #147: Fly the L Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Sara and Danny are back and StubHub is still glitchy and broken. You may want to find a different resale app if you're looking for tickets for Father's Day. Then Sara and Danny dive into a brutal sweep by the Padres that included some solid starts followed by epic bullpen meltdowns. The Cubs now have a 10-game losing streak just in time to host the 14-game winning streak Atlanta Braves. What could possibly go wrong? Learn more about your ad choices.

CCB #145: An Orioles Thrashing and Yankees' Reunions Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Sara and Danny recap the one game the Cubs played against the Orioles earlier this week before a rainout and a couple of much needed off-days. They also review the StubHub revamp, which has made the app borderline unusable at Wrigley Field. After the break, they discuss the Cubs and Willson Contreras avoiding arbitration and what if anything that could mean for the possibility of an extension. They also preview a three-game series against the Yankees in the Bronx that will lead to a lot of reunions with former Cubs, but notably, World Series Champion Anthony Rizzo.

After the break they are previewing the first Cubs-Cardinals series of the year which will be a five game set at Wrigley Field including a bunch of guys who sound like they were made up hitting out of their shoes, a Saturday doubleheader between a bunch of guys TBD, and the ageless Adam Wainwright matching up against Justin Steele on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball (yes, there will be Bingo).
