Dreamcast 86: Knock On Wood

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2024/04/08

The word of the day was injuries as there are a lot of pitchers hitting the injured list through various ailments, and we talk a bit about that on this Dreamcast, along with our praises and thoughts about the Cubs starting this season off strongly against some tough competition (not the Rockies).

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2024/03/27

We’re mere hours from Opening Day if you consider anything less than 48 “mere,” so it’s time to do our season preview episode! In this edition: We’ll probably talk about the MLBPA snafus later on after we get a few games that actually count under our belt.

2024/02/14

Fresh off the Super Bowl, RC and Berselius hang out to talk about some shitty new uniforms, make fun of the A’s and their stupid stadium situation, ponder what’s up with Cody Bellinger and the other big Boras players, and look forward to spring training officially getting underway.

Dreamcast 81 (and 80 too): No Content

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2024/02/01

Very little has happened in the new year with respect to the Cubs and what we hoped they would do by now, but Spring Training is a mere two weeks away and so you would think they will do something before pitchers and catchers report. RC & Berselius try to navigate the lack of good content and talk: You can ...

Dreamcast 79: Yellow Journalism

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/12/11

Nothing much happened during the Winter Meetings, and then Shohei Ohtani did his thing and the journalistic shit hit the fan, so we got together to talk about the aftermath of the Ohtani decision, the timeline of free agent excitement (or lack thereof), the various media failures that led to Bob Nightengale of all people calling them out on their ...

Dreamcast 78: Shohei Hey!

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/11/20

I decided to save “rapid unscheduled disassembly” for some other time when we finally see the Padres fire sale or something similarly spectacular, but we did get together just before Thanksgiving and after a very bad MLB decision occurred. Thankfully, in keeping with the theme of the holiday, nobody signed Shohei Ohtani right after we finished recording, so here we ...

Dreamcast 77: Back on the Bandwagon Again

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/11/07

Welp, we had this thing done on Sunday night and then the Cubs went and blew up our plans, so we recorded again. Mind you it’s a good thing that they did the thing, but still, considering how most of us have actual jobs, this is as early as I could get it to you (dying laughing) This time: We’ll ...

Dreamcast 76: Magnificent Seven

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/10/25

Congratulations to the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks for giving MLB a postseason ratings nightmare, and for preventing me from calling this episode “The Full Dombrowski” just for berselius. Topics include: We’ll try to do something right after the World Series where I actually do some research to see what the Cubs can feasibly do to make a 2024 ...

Dreamcast 75: The Post-Mortem

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/10/02

The postseason will continue without the Cubs again, but we got together anyway to talk about what a fun season this was despite the disappointing end. Topics include: This one’s a longer one because we had a lot of stuff to say. We’ll get together again just before the World Series in case there’s some Cubs-related news that popped up ...

Dreamcast 74: Fumes

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/09/27

Kind of sucky that we have actual jobs and lives and responsibilities that make it so our recording sessions often coincide with Cubs games, and also sucky that sometimes, the Cubs don’t win those games. But methinks most of what we said during this latest poop of a loss is still applicable as the Cubs remain in contention in the ...

Dreamcast 73: The Moving Goalposts

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/09/20

We promise never to talk about magic numbers again too prematurely because that past stretch kind of went to hell in a hurry, but the Cubs are still miraculously in a good position to earn that postseason berth should they choose to play better in these final two weeks, and the first game back at home was a pretty good ...

Dreamcast 72: Magic Number Math

Dreamcast 71: House Money

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/08/30

RC & AC hang out by themselves this time because everyone else had better things to do or whatever. Topics include: I did a bit more editing this time but got pissed off several times because my mouse crapped out here or there and changed settings all funky on me, so at least this is a short one. You can ...

Dreamcast 70: This Game Will Drive You Crazy

2023/08/23

RC, AC, SVB & berselius hang out as the Cubs were crapping the bed against the Tigers (but they did win the finale and the series) to ponder the state of the Cubs.

Dreamcast 69: A Nice Stretch

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/08/09

As the Cubs continue to chip away at their deficits in both the division and wild card races, RC, SVB, and Berselius hang out to consider how to bridge the rotation until Stroman gets back (and hopefully doesn’t suck), Drew Smyly going to the bullpen, trying to get Seiya Suzuki right, and extending Cody Bellinger. Plus there’s some extended talk ...

Dreamcast 68: Making It Worthwhile

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/08/02

Glad the Cubs didn’t blow it in the ninth, but they probably should figure out how to find a better lefty reliever. Anyway, RC & Berselius hang out to discuss the happenings around the Trade Deadline now that it’s over, including what the Cubs did. We also hope for a quick fix for Marcus Stroman and Seiya Suzuki while also ...

Dreamcast 67: The Gigantic Rant

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/07/19

RC, AC, and berselius may have ranted the Cubs into a shocking comeback…or not, it could go either way. Topics include whether to buy, sell, or stand pat, trading the farm for a certain uberstar, and more. You can probably note the difference between when I take the time to edit the crap out of the podcast and when I ...

Dreamcast 66: All-Star Edition

Obstructed View Podcast ·

2023/07/12

After the Draft, RC, Berselius, & BVS hang out to talk about the Cubs strategy, the All-Star festivities and what we liked versus what they need to change, and the usual stuff about whether this team is good enough to avoid a sell-off and make a pleasantly surprising postseason run.
