CCB #169: Betting in a Time of Pujols

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/09/06

Sara and Danny are back after the Cubs were swept out of St. Louis by the man, the myth, the resurgent, Albert Pujols and honestly at this point, what even is baseball other than praying some team out there not named the Yankees or Dodgers will defeat the Cardinals. They are also looking at how gambling impacts watching the nation's pastime right now in ways that just don't seem on the level at all. After the break, they are previewing a series between the Reds and Cubs that looks a lot more like

CCB #168: One Last Encounter with 2022 Devil Bird Magic

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/09/02

Sara and Danny are back looking at a forgettable series in Toronto that the Cubs were competitive in but really needed one or two more bullpen arms to win, they are also talking about the state of the 2022 Cubs and why this might be a better spot than September 2014, which is an optimistic thought. After the break they preview the final three games between the Cubs and Cardinals for 2022 and reflect on a Devil Bird Magic season that was exactly as bad as all of us feared.

CCB #167: Unionize the Minors

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/29

Sara and Danny are back talking about a forgettable series at Wrigley North where only two Ian Happ home runs saved the Cubs from being no-hit and swept, but the big news of the day is the minor league baseball card check election that began late on Sunday night. We'll talk through what unionizing the minors might look like and some of the pros and cons there (mostly pros). After the break we look at a creative extension for Julio Rodríguez and the Mariners that truly looks like a win-win for the

CCB #166: Cardinals Smardinals

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/26

Sara and Danny are recapping fights in the bleachers during a Cardinals blowout of the Cubs (don't do that, people) and a series between St. Louis and the Cubs that was surprisingly even given these teams fortunes. None of the guys we thought would get called up to pitch did, but Franimal threw an inning and Danny wonders if he could be the next Shohei Ohtani. After the break they preview a normal series with the sliding Brewers (as a reminder, Bernie's slide can be dangerous). Learn more about

CCB #165: Spilt Beer and Here Come the Cardinals

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/22

Sara and Danny are back, with a look back at the Cubs coming out on top of a wild series against the Brewers to win their SIXTH series in a row (yes, I know, Baltimore was a make-up game, whatever, we are celebrating whatever we can here, people). There were great Steele starts, Willson walkoffs and a 100th career home run for Ian Happ. After the break they look at some prospects who will be at Wrigley for the Cardinals series, some prospects who are getting promoted and hope the Cubs can put out a

CCB #164: Day Baseball All Weekend, As God Intended

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/19

Sara and Danny are back talking about a solid East Coast road trip where the Cubs won 3 out of 4 despite trying to lose at critical junctures. There were errors. There were TOOTBLANs. There was A LOT more of Zach McKinstry and Rafael Ortega than Sara or Danny wanted. Willson and Franimal continue to rake, though, and it all worked out okay. After the break Sara and Danny preview three games with the Brewers during the annual Chicago Air and Water Show -- it should be a full weekend of day baseball,

CCB #163: Who is this team winning series?

CCB #162: If You Build It They Will Bet On It

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/11

Sara and Danny are back and the Cubs are winning series, admittedly against terrible teams, but winning is cool. They recap the series against the Nationals including great starts from Keegan Thompson and Justin Steele, wonder why Christopher Morel is losing playing time to two guys OPSing under .600 and were cheering for Carl Edwards Jr. (except when he threw at Willson). After the break they wonder why the Cubs are so bad at caring for players after functionally DFAing Jason Heyward on his

CCB #161 Cubs Karaoke and a Series Win

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/08

Sara and Danny are back talking about a pretty uneventful weekend series against the Marlins that saw the Cubs bats go quiet while pitching just good enough to take two out of three anyway. They also look at the latest season projections from FanGraphs and preview an upcoming series against the Washington Nationals, who may be the worst offense in baseball after trading Juan Soto and Josh Bell.

CCB #160: This Was Not the Trade Deadline Anyone...

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/04

Sara and Danny are back looking at the trades the Cubs made and more importantly the ones they didn't make. Willson Contreras and Ian Happ will be playing at the Friendly Confines for at least the rest of the season, Sara and Danny discuss what it could mean and what the future might hold. They also look at the massive Juan Soto trade and the price the Cardinals couldn't bring themselves to pay. After the break they remember the legendary Vin Scully and discuss why there will never be another like

CCB #159 Trade Deadline Drama Delayed

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/08/02

Sara and Danny are back and not very interested in the Giants series -- it's the morning of the trade deadline and almost everything Cubs depends on Juan Soto and the Padres. We break down the surprise Scott Effross trade, the Cardinals acquiring José Quintana, the surprise Josh Hader trade and talk about the future of the Cubs which seems bleak, with winning more of an aspiration than an achievable goal.

CCB #158: Today the W Stands for Willson

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/27

Sara and Danny are back and looking at an emotionally draining homestand that saw the Cubs extend their winning streak to six as the trade deadline looms and some of our favorite players are certain to be traded, again. We kick off the show venting our frustrations that the Cubs front office seems intent on trading all of our favorite players and uninterested in ever extending anyone. After the break we look at some great pitching performances in the homestand and Seiya Suzuki's uncanny adjustments

2022/07/25

Sara and Danny discuss the Cubs first sweep of the Phillies in Philadelphia in 22 years but you only saw it if you have Apple and Peacock subscriptions in addition to whatever else you use for watching the Cubs. Christopher Morel is hot, Seiya Suzuki is too. Willson Contreras is heating up again after a bit of a slump before the All Star Break. After the break we look at a Pirates team that is already selling, and a two-game series at Wrigley that may be the last time some Cubs stars play on the

CCB #156: Historic Biblical Losses

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/21

Sara and Danny take a look at the Cubs first half and note that this Cubs team is flirting with the worst Cubs records of all-time before they trade anyone, they also delve into trade rumors, take a look at the draft and cover what they loved from the All Star Game. After the break they talk about Rob Manfred's insistence than $5,000 a year is a livable wage before previewing a series with the Phillies and our old friend, Kyle Schwarber.

CCB #155: The Cubs are Metsing

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/18

Sara is joined by Amazin' Avenue's Allison McCague to look back at four games against the Mets as the Cubs head into the All Star Break. Allison made her first trip to Wrigley Field over the weekend and offers her takes on the Friendly Confines. They also look at where each team is, and it's clear these two teams are going in different directions, so they discuss places where the Cubs and Mets might match up at the trade deadline. After the break they discuss the draft, the All Star Break the

CCB #154 Swept by the Orioles

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/14

Sara and Danny are back after the Orioles swept the Cubs in a quick two game set. That brings the Os winning streak to 10 and the Cubs losing streak to 6. There wasn't a lot to cheer in these games but we cheer for what we can. They are also talking about the manager changes in MLB, the Royals losing a whopping 10 players as they head to Toronto to play the Blue Jays, and preview a four-game series with the first place Mets at Wrigley Field as MLB heads into the All Star Break.

CCB #153 Happ Now, You're an All Star

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/12

Sara and Danny are back looking at how the Cubs got swept by the Dodgers, one more time. The Cubs may never win a game against the Dodgers again. Does anyone else remember when these two teams were equal? So do Sara and Danny and it's not particularly amusing. There were things to celebrate -- Keegan Thompson, PJ Higgins, Christopher Morel, and some things they'd rather forget. After the break they look ahead to the All Star Game, congrats to Ian Happ on a well deserved nod, but what is Albert

CCB #152: Haders gonna hate

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/07

Sara and Danny are back after two more improbable series wins over the Red Sox and Brewers that have the Cubs winners of 8 of their last 12 games as they head into a four game series with the Dodgers. Seiya Suzuki is back and he is doing damage against Brewers closer Josh Hader. Sara and Danny are also looking at All Star snubs (Ian Happ was robbed) and Manfred's ability to appoint legends to each team. Plus, the Cubs starting rotation is still banged up and pretty much all on the IL as the Cubs see

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/07/01

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

Bleacher Bunch Network: A Chicago Cubs Podcast ·

2022/06/28

Sara and Danny are back looking at some of the best Cubs baseball of the year as they took two of three in St. Louis. Dr. Hendo made an appearance, they almost won game two and game three was probably the best comeback win of the year. After the break they are looking at an epic brawl between the Angels and Mariners and previewing three games against the Reds at Wrigley Field this week. Learn more about your ad choices.
