REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (S1 -EP 20) Will the Cubs or Reds Add On At The Deadline? Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

As the All-Star break approaches, Kap and Gordon talk about where the Cubs stand in the division. The Reds are the surprise leaders of the division with a good young team but poor pitching. The Cubs are 7 games back but have good pitching. The guys discuss whether they think the Cubs can overtake the Reds for the division. Will the Cubs be willing to add before the deadline? Will other teams even be willing to deal guys with six playoff spots in each league? And will the Cubs be willing to play the necessary price to acquire any kind of real talent?
They also touch on the meeting that some of the Cubs veterans had with manager David Ross this week. What do they think Ross told the guys in the meeting?
Kap and Gordon also look at the schedule leading up to the deadline. How difficult is the schedule? Will it give them an opportunity to finish July strong? The next couple of weeks will be critical for the Cubs as Jed tries to decide whether or not they buy or sell.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 18) Should the Cubs Make Stroman An Offer? Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Kap and Gordon start with Marcus Stroman's social media complaints that the Cubs haven't had any real contract negotiations with him. Tune in to find out if Kap and Gordon think Stroman has a legitimate beef or if they think he's in the wrong for putting this out on social media.
The guys also talk about the pitchers that will be available in the offseason if Stroman ends up getting traded at the deadline this year. There are some interesting pitchers who could potentially be available, but whether or not any of them actually hit the market remains to be seen. There's one pitcher that Gordon in particular likes for the Cubs.
Kap also brings up his issue with the Cubs continuing to use Miles Mastrobuoni. The guy is batting .153 and the Cubs have used him as a DH. Kap think that's absurd. Does Gordon agree? And Gordon also points out that the Cubs don't have a lot of better options as so many players on the team are struggling offensively.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 17) State of the Cubs, going nowhere fast. Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Kap and Gordon talk about who on the Cubs could potentially make the All Star Game this summer.
They also talk about the Cubs bad bullpen. Will they fix it this season? Is this a lost season already? How do we judge David Ross as the manager when he's been given a bad bullpen and offense. But they do both have some issues with Ross's lineup construction.
Kap also wants to see Miguel Amaya get more playing time as a catcher, but Gordon doesn't necessarily agree. He likes the Cubs slow-playing Amaya.
Kap also wants to know if you'd be comfortable as a fan if one of your favorite sports teams took on a Saudi partner that suddenly gives your team the ability to be a top-level payroll in the league.

THURSDAY MM REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 16) May 31, 2023

Show notes

#DavidKaplan & #GordonWittenmyer are the best #Cubs sparring partners in the business and right out of the gate they show disgust at the worst team in the National League. How did they get here? Why are they here? After an above average April, it's been an absolutely awful May. It even included the team giving out Hall of Famer #BillyWilliams bobbleheads with the WRONG NUMBER!!!! The #Reds swept the #Cubs last weekend. Are they actually a team with a better future?
Then, the boys pivot to #KyleHendricks, who returned to the rotation for the first time since July of 2022. Kap says he thinks Kyle is back to his former self.
Gordon poses the question to Kap. Where does Kyle Hendricks fit in Cubs history and lore as a pitcher who isn't Hall a Famer, but one of the all-time Cubs greats. Is he a great? Some Cubs greats believe so. Comment below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
The conversation pivots to not if the Cubs will be sellers but who will they sell when they do? Kap believes they don't have much to sell, but #CodyBellinger appears to be the lone position player that they have to do so assuming he's healthy sooner than later.
The guys go through young arms if they do decide to move on from #MarcusStroman.
Finally - the guys discuss accountability. Does #TomRicketts have the where with all to hold #JedHoyer, #DavidRoss and the front office accountable for failure? Because Gordon believes that it's easiest to tear it down...but to build it up and keep it that way? That's the talent...and the Cubs haven't proven it after the first one.
At the end - the guys laugh and rip the fact that Billy Williams' bobblehead had the wrong number when given away on Saturday night against the Reds.
And CONGRATS to Gordon for landing the beat writer gig for the Reds with the #CincinnatiEnquirer.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 15) May 25, 2023

Show notes

David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the Cubs dismal 2-7 road trip that has put the Cubs in their worst spot of the season. But, the guys debate whether this week is the key to figuring out just who this team is. The rotation has struggled, but they're getting Kyle Hendricks back as soon as this week. Hayden Wesneski is in Iowa and Jameson Taillon has been awful with an ERA north of 8.
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer is taking the accountability of the bullpen, and saying it shouldn't be on manager David Ross. However, Kap believes Rossy should be held accountable, too, especially when Christopher Morel has homered in 9 times in 12 games. Hoyer also addressed why Morel was in Iowa for 5+ weeks.
Gordon joins the podcast in the middle of nowhere, literally. Why? Well, he answers that question as to why his GPS took him there.
At the end of the conversation, the guys discuss whether the Cubs should approach Marcus Stroman about an extension because he has an opt out after the 2023 season. Gordon believes, wait and see.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 14) May 16, 2023

Show notes

David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer have a spirited discussion about why it took the Cubs so long to call up Christopher Morel. Morel was red hot at AAA this season and has continued that pace after a call up to the big leagues. He’s rejuvenated the lineup and has shown capability as an everyday player. Kap wonders why it took so long.
The bullpen ineffectiveness, particularly with Michael Fulmer is also another debate. Kap doesn’t understand why he’s getting the ball late in games in high leverage situations. Gordon’s take is that if he’s not capable of getting outs in that role, it serves best to move on.
Though the Cubs have sputtered of late - Gordon says it shouldn’t be because of the rotation, while Kap is more targeted towards David Ross.
