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

September 02, 2022 17:11 - 50 minutes

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. Learn more about you...

CCB #167: Unionize the Minors

August 29, 2022 18:59 - 49 minutes

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...

CCB #166: Cardinals Smardinals

August 26, 2022 21:00 - 53 minutes

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 ab...

CCB #165: Spilt Beer and Here Come the Cardinals

August 22, 2022 23:56 - 42 minutes

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...

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

August 19, 2022 15:24 - 51 minutes

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 bas...

CCB #163: Who is this team winning series?

August 15, 2022 18:16 - 44 minutes

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

August 11, 2022 16:47 - 49 minutes

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

August 08, 2022 18:12 - 42 minutes

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 Expected

August 04, 2022 14:57 - 1 hour

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...

CCB #159 Trade Deadline Drama Delayed

August 02, 2022 14:20 - 52 minutes

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

July 27, 2022 15:58 - 1 hour

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 adjus...

CCB #157: Streaming the Sweep

July 25, 2022 15:23 - 56 minutes

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 ...

CCB #156: Historic Biblical Losses

July 21, 2022 14:42 - 1 hour

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

July 18, 2022 15:52 - 52 minutes

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

July 14, 2022 16:34 - 52 minutes

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. Learn more abo...

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

July 12, 2022 16:08 - 59 minutes

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 Alber...

CCB #152: Haders gonna hate

July 07, 2022 23:42 - 53 minutes

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 C...

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

July 01, 2022 16:44 - 1 hour

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 ab...

CCB #150 A Series Win in St. Louis

June 28, 2022 15:24 - 49 minutes

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.

CCB #149 Ennui Catuli

June 24, 2022 15:35 - 51 minutes

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.

CCB #148 The Streak is Over with Brett Taylor

June 20, 2022 15:13 - 45 minutes

Sara is joined by Bleacher Nation's Brett Taylor to look back at how the Cubs ended their 10-game losing streak while snapping the Braves 14-game winning streak, which is something we haven't seen in MLB for a century. 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

June 17, 2022 16:36 - 56 minutes

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 #146: An Embarrassing Trip to the Bronx

June 13, 2022 19:51 - 51 minutes

June 10, 2022 16:44 - 51 minutes

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 re...

CCB #144: So winnable, yet so far away

June 06, 2022 18:03 - 1 hour

Sara and Danny break down a five-game series with the Cardinals that saw the Cubs win two and lose three, including back-to-back extra inning losses that were particularly frustrating. They are looking at lineup construction, bullpen options and some outstanding pitching performances from Justin Steele, Keegan Thompson, Matt Swarmer and, of course, Caleb Kilian's debut. After the break they look ahead to a two-game set against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Learn more about your ad ch...

CCB #143: Morel is Rising

June 02, 2022 15:35 - 1 hour

CCB #137: The Sun is out by the W flags are in storage

May 09, 2022 20:08 - 1 hour

Sara and Danny are back looking at a woeful series sweep by the Dodgers that saw two TOOTBLANS in a Kershaw start, the Cubs giving up four runs on a single hit and the quickest AAA stint ever by Frank Schwindel. After the break they are wondering how long the Cubs think they can have the most expensive MLB experience in the game with an uncompetitive team and try to look ahead to a Padres series where the Cubs will throw TBD twice against the Padres actual rotation. Learn more about your ad c...

CCB #136 A Crosstown Sweep

May 05, 2022 15:17 - 53 minutes

Sara and Danny are trying to find silver linings in the Cubs getting swept by the Sox at Wrigley, and look Jake Burger made us laugh, Nico Hoerner has pop and Bleacher Jeff caught a ball, but really that's about where the good news stops. The Cubs dropped two to the White Sox and the Dodgers are coming to town. They are also looking at matchups for the weekend series with the Dodgers, plus schedule pressures that have always been weird but this year seem to be on another level. Don't worry, y...

May 02, 2022 18:58 - 56 minutes

Sara and Danny look back at yet another series loss, this time with the Cubs dropping two out of three at Wrigley North. They are worried about Kyle Hendricks who currently has a career high hard hit rate and will be facing the White Sox at Wrigley this week.

Content Warning: after the break Sara and Danny spend the first seven minutes talking about ...

CCB #134: Acuña Returns Plus a Trip to Wrigley North

April 29, 2022 20:23 - 58 minutes

Sara and Danny are back looking at a disappointing series loss to Atlanta where the Cubs dropped two of three. The lone victory did give us an all-time great Seiya GIF and Willson Contreras reminded all of us why he's such a great guy with a touching moment with his brother. After the break they are looking at the Mets v. Cardinals benches clearing incident, diving into some research on the baseball and why it might be a culprit in hit by pitches and vanishing offenses. They wrap up by previe...

CCB #133 A Historic Rout and a Series Loss

April 25, 2022 20:13 - 58 minutes

Sara and Danny are back talking about a series that saw the Cubs outscore the Pirates 29-12 but lose three of four games. We'll talk about what's up with that, plus why there are signs this retooled Cubs offense might just be sneaky good. After the break were are talking about Anthony Rizzo doing good things as Yankees' fans behave terribly, why Kyle Schwarber (and really all of MLB and its fans) have had it with a certain umpire, the Reds losing streak and Miguel Cabrera's 3,000th hit before...

CCB #132 Weather Woes and Pirates

April 21, 2022 20:11 - 55 minutes

Sara and Danny look back at the Cubs first series loss of 2022, dropping two of three miserably cold games to the Tampa Bay Rays at Wrigley Field.

They reminisce about the awesomeness of Jake Arrieta for the Cubs as Arrieta announced his retirement this week and then look ahead to a four game set ...

CCB #131 TOOTBLANs & Tampa Bay

April 18, 2022 18:13 - 56 minutes

The Cubs went .500 over a four game set at Coors Field, which Sara and Danny are happy about, but can the team just put a stop to these TOOTBLANs? Sara and Danny are also looking at Ross' bullpen management despite some guys struggling, it appears KB's eyes really do sparkle more in purple and a hot series for Jonathan Villar which could cause a playing time crunch for Nick and/or Nico. After the break they preview the Tampa Bay series that may or may not kick off at Wrigley Field on Monday n...

CCB #130: The Cubs face KB at Coors

April 14, 2022 19:57 - 58 minutes

Sara and Danny are back recapping a lackluster series that saw the Cubs split two games against the Pirates. They are wondering if Kyle Hendricks is okay and not worried about Seiya Suzuki at all. They recap history made in the Padres v. Giants series as Alyssa Nakken took the field, why Bob Castellini still sucks and why MLB's streaming deals will have us reaching for our radios before adding new services. Finally, they are looking ahead to a four-game set at Coors Field that will see the Cu...

April 12, 2022 00:42 - 1 hour

The Cubs are back and tied for first place in the division with the Cardinals after taking two of three from the Milwaukee Brewers in their first series. Sara and Danny are recapping that series including an ideal start from Kyle Hendricks, a gem from Justin Steele and Keegan Thompson, the continuation of the bean bag wars between Milwaukee and Chicago, plus why none of this looks completely unsustainable. After the break we are looking at the action in South Bend where Danny caught a game an...

CCB #128: Rethinking Fandom with Craig Calcaterra

April 04, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour

With Opening Day is just a few days away Sara and Danny are joined by Craig Calcaterra to discuss his new book "Rethinking Fandom: How to Beat the Sports-Industrial Complex at Its Own Game." There is a sportsbook mid-construction at Wrigley Field less than one year from trading the World Series core, so this is a timely conversation about the sports business and how fans interact with it. We talk about tanking, the CBA, why we all love Greg Maddux and more. In the second half of the show Crai...

CCB #127 Say Yes to Cubs

March 28, 2022 22:52 - 56 minutes

Sara and Danny take a look at how the #NoToRicketts campaign may have thrown a wrench in the Ricketts' bid to buy the Chelsea Football Club and the latest Forbes team valuations that show the Cubs are currently worth $3.8 Billion. They are also pretty bummed that it doesn't look like any of that money is going to be used to extend Willson Contreras. Harold Ramirez (we hardly knew ye) has been traded to the Rays. After the break they take a closer look at the crowded outfield, Clint Frazier ha...

CCB #126: Seiya at Wrigley Field

March 22, 2022 01:55 - 1 hour

Sara and Danny are back breaking down the flurry of deals that saw Carlos Correa go to the Twins and Trevor Story sign with Boston, plus the Cubs own mega deal -- signing Japenese superstar Seiya Suzuki to a five year deal with the Cubs. After the break Sara and Danny take a closer look at the Cubs roster and who they expect would make the team and who the Cubs might lose if Opening Day was tomorrow. Stick around until the end for Danny's incredible musical tribute to Seiya for the outro.  Le...

CCB #125: This is not the shortstop signing you were looking for

March 14, 2022 20:36 - 56 minutes

Sara and Danny are back and the Cubs are signing shortstops, but maybe not the one you thought they were. Sara and Danny talk through the implications of the Andrelton Simmons signing, they are also looking at the dismantling of the Reds and owners who might be "forced to sell" their teams if players like Carlos Rodón keep getting fair contracts. After the break they are trying to figure out why Willson Contreras hasn't been extended and debating whether Opening Day or the start of March Madn...

Emergency CCB: Let There Be Baseball

March 11, 2022 05:58 - 59 minutes

Baseball is back and so are Sara and Danny with everything you need to know about the successful CBA negotiations. They are looking at all the new rules from the CBT thresholds to the new and improved league minimum, how new rules like a pitch clock could be implemented and why the international draft became such a big deal.

CCB #124: Biblical Lost Games

March 08, 2022 19:26 - 57 minutes

Sara and Danny are looking at the possible impacts of the rule changes MLB wants to institute with 45 games notice including larger bases, a pitch clock and potentially banning the shift. After the break they take a closer look at the four owners who wouldn't even agree to the CBT threshold going up at all, let alone meeting the players halfway. Closer to home, Sara and Danny take a closer look at the Ricketts Family's interest in investing in the Chelsea Football Club, despite the "Biblical ...

CCB #123: MLB Regular Season Games in Jeopardy of Being Missed

February 28, 2022 23:32 - 1 hour

Sara and Danny are discussing how baseball wound up in a spot where the MLB owners appear ready to miss their own Monday deadline and lose regular season games rather than take the team friendly deal the MLBPA is offering them. They are also looking at the expanded playoff options and why those likely hurt competitiveness in MLB. After the break they look at MLBs never ending campaign to gain more control of the game and why FanGraphs likes a lot of the Cubs young players -- who may be ready ...

CCB #122: Religious Greed and the Pace of Negotiations

February 22, 2022 21:42 - 59 minutes

Sara and Danny are back looking at some of MLB's more ludicrous conditions in the ongoing CBA negotiations with the MLBPA. They are also talking about the chaos that is likely coming when dozens of free agents get rapidly signed between a deal and the start of Spring Training. Finally, they take a look at why PECOTA hates the Cubs, and, frankly, it's probably not wrong. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

CCB #121: Prospectapalooza

February 14, 2022 23:21 - 1 hour

Sara and Danny are frustrated by the lack of movement in the CBA negotiations and to be clear this falls pretty squarely on the mantle of some delusional billionaires who think the only cost that shouldn't go up these days is their payroll. After the break they are talking about the most recent top 100 prospect lists from various outlets and how the Cubs much-improved farm system shapes up.  Learn more about your ad choices.
