BP Wrigleycast - Chicago Cubs News - Episode 30: The Kyle Hendricks Episode, Cy Young, and  Playoff Roster Questions
play

09/13/16 • 55 min

Kyle Hendricks was so close to throwing a no-hitter until he threw a meatball to Jebediah Hazelfrankenstein on an 0-2 count. It's too bad, but what does this near brush with greatness do to his Cy Young chances? And also: where should the Cubs slot him in the playoff rotation?
The guys discuss some other playoff roster implications, like Montgomery vs. Hammel and Coghlan vs. LaStella.
Joel gets political with 60 Seconds with a Former Cub.
Ryan brings up a question from the fans dealing with...the playoff roster? I can't remember, but it was a good conversation.
Then Isaac's At Bat of the Week revels in the greatness that is Kris Bryant.

BP Wrigleycast - Chicago Cubs News - Episode 44: As Cubs play eh baseball, we are all spoiled
play

04/18/17 • 45 min

After an intro gone horribly wrong, the guys discuss the hot/cold offense and then move onto the pen, where a fantasy draft ensues. Who ends up with the more desirable pair of relievers? You'll have to tune in to find out.
We also take a look at the Pirates to determine if they'll be a serious challenger in the NL Central before delving into the lower velocity readings from starters. Is that a strategy or just an April fluke?

The Cubs had to win...and they did. Despite the offensive outburst from Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, and Anthony Rizzo, the talk will inevitably center around how Joe Maddon used Aroldis Chapman.
But let's not forget: The Cubs will be playing in game 7 of the World Series tomorrow.
As Isaac answered when asked how he felt about it, "I'm going to barf."
It's a great time to be alive.

play

07/26/16 • 63 min

It finally happened: the Cubs traded away their top prospect (and more) for a top pitcher. Did they get enough? Was this a good move? The guys weigh in, with Isaac and Ryan taking a pretty clear stance on the whole thing.
This move also comes with a ton of baggage, and the guys talk about the domestic violence issues surrounding Chapman and the role that plays in assessing this trade.
Joel's 60 Seconds with a Former Cub revisits with another closer: Joe Borowski.
Ryan's Question of the Week is a poll about the Chapman trade that shows a pretty split fan base.
Isaac takes on the At Bat of the Week and Anthony Rizzo locks that down...again.

The Cubs surprise everyone and trade for Chris Coghlan. With him and Almora now on the roster, how does playing time look moving forward? The guys touch a little bit on the draft (and the Cardinals' draft) as well as the whole "how long can they carry three catchers?" ordeal. What's up with that?
Joel's 60 Seconds with a former Cub goes for some prose with Bryan LaHair. Ryan's Question of the week pitts Javy Baez against Addison Russell. Isaac's At Bat of the Week hopes Jason Heyward has finally reached a turning point.
