REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 10) Why the 2023 Chicago Cubs Could Be For Real!

04/19/23 • 28 min

#DavidKaplan & #GordonWittenmyer are buying in, well, let’s be honest, Kap had long ago, but after a series win over the #Dodgers, even Gordon is tipping his cap to what the #Cubs have done to start the 2023 season. Gordon has the stats to back it up.
Most notably, the pair highlight the performance of #MarcusStroman & #JustinSteele in the rotation. They’ve been lights out, and with Steele, it goes way back to last year. The offense is for real, and #DansbySwanson appears to be the real deal after signing a mega deal in the offseason.
Prior to #HaydenWesneski’s dominant start against Oakland, the guys talked about him needing a start like that or he could be the odd man out when Kyle Hendricks returns.
Plus - the guys discuss #SeiyaSuzuki’s return to RF.
There’s reason for excitement about what’s going on on the Northside.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 9) Could Shohei Ohtani Be A Real Possibility For The Cubs?!

David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss several topics beginning with the Cubs good start to the 2023 season, with strong showings against good teams like the Brewers, Rangers and Mariners. Kap says the team might be a surprise all season, while Gordon admits even he didn’t see this coming. Gordon adds that Dansby Swanson, the big free agent addition for the Cubs, had been better than advertised.
Marcus Stroman is another talking point, leaving Kap to question whether the Cubs would consider extending him sooner than later after a hot start and appearing as if he’s settled into the team’s top starter. Gordon throws water on the topic saying he believes that Stroman will exercise his opt out and the Cubs will move on without him.
Plus, how could the Cubs give Stroman the money if they’re going to be players for Shohei Ohtani? That’s right, Bob Nightengale reported it could be the case which has Kap out over his skis and Gordon even suggesting a bet after Kap has brought the topic up nearly every podcast to date.

REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 11) Despite Success, How Do The Cubs Fix Bullpen Struggles?

Despite early season team success, the Chicago Cubs have bullpen issues, most notably at the back end. David Kaplan & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss if it’s fixable, and if not, who can they get to help?
Gordon suggests the Cubs look 8 miles south and target White Sox closer Liam Hendriks once he returns. That would send shockwaves through Chicago and wake up the rest of baseball.
Plus, the guys debate if the offense, which has scored double digit runs already as many times as they did all of last year, is sustainable for the remainder of 2023.
