REKAP Cubs Podcast - ⚾ (Season 1 - Episode 8) What to Make of the Chicago Cubs Opening Series Start.

04/05/23 • 27 min

The guys give their thoughts on the season opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers. David Kaplan and Gordon Wittenmyer say it was a little disappointing after an impressive win on Opening Day. The starting pitching outside of Marcus Stroman and Justin Steele needs to be better. Kap can’t get enough of this question: Should Cubs go after Shohei Ohtani? Shouldn’t every team? And one glaring and noticeable difference thus far in the early going, the pace of games has changed dramatically because of the pitch clock. Do you like it? The guys discuss.

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.
