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

04/12/23 • 23 min

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 8) What to Make of the Chicago Cubs Opening Series Start.

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 10) Why the 2023 Chicago Cubs Could Be For Real!

#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.
