CCB #186: Cubs Con and Treric Hosmancini

CCB #185: Hosmer Shmosmer on the Eve of Cubs Con

Sara and Danny are back talking about the very mid-Cubs who added Eric Hosmer to a team that features a lot of number 3 starters and some guys who could be alright. They are also looking at the massive contracts other teams have signed, and the latest in the Carlos Correa contract negotiation which still isn't wrapped up over medical concerns. Finally they are both headed to Cubs Con this weekend and talk about what they are looking forward to as they cover the event for BCB.

CCB #183: Cubs Sign Swanson Avoid Correa Chaos

Sara and Danny are talking all things Dansby Swanson who definitely makes the Cubs better, but probably not into contention just yet. They are also looking at the absolute debacle that had Carlos Correa's introductory press conference cancelled in San Francisco mere hours before he signed with the Mets who just don't seem to care about the luxury tax even a little bit at all. After the break they spend some time on the Cubs ZiPS projections and discuss rumors that the Cubs, yes, your Cubs might be the frontrunner for the top international free agent prospect, Fernando Cruz.

CCB #183: Hoyering Our Way to Existential Dread

Danny is back and all he and Sara can do is laugh as the Cubs have now missed out on pretty much every big free agent. They discuss Willson Contreras heading to the Cardinals (stick around to the end for Danny's newest Cubsmas song to commemorate the occasion), how the Cubs lost out on Christian Vázquez, the shortstop situation, the mixed messages on spending coming out of the Cubs front office, what they expect at Cubs Convention (boos that put Elon to shame), where to go if you want to join Danny for Cubs Caroling this year and more.

CCB #182: Willson Contreras is a Cardinal. This is Fine.

Willson Contreras is a Cardinal and while Danny is still doing post-nuptial stuff Sara is joined by Kevin McCaffrey from the Away Games Pod to try and figure out how the Cubs let their best hitter go to their biggest rival on a totally reasonable deal. They also talk about the chances that Hoyer and Co. will actually use the money that ownership is very publicly saying is available to them as the market goes absolutely bananas with an 11 year/$280 million deal that enticed Xander Bogaerts to leave Boston for San Diego. After the break they look at the Cody Bellinger signing and the fact that the Cubs will basically be paying $39.5 million in 2023 to see if they can fix Bellinger's swing while the Dodgers try to do the same for Jason Heyward. They finish up with the latest scandal on the literal baseball as Dr. Meredith Wills' new research on the ball indicates there were not two, but three different balls in 2022 and you will not believe where they wound up.

CCB #178: Cheering for the NL and a Meteor

Sara and Danny are back talking about future Cubs in the Fall League and a cut in season ticket prices. They also discuss the Division Series including the insurgent campaigns of the Phillies and Padres whose fans are competing to see who can be the most intense crew in the playoffs. They're less enthusiastic about the battle of evil empires occurring in the American League between the Astros and the Yankees. The majority of BCB readers seem to agree, which is why they are cheering for a meteor in the ALCS.

CCB #175: The Phillies lack vibes and W's

Sara and Danny are back talking about an improbable (and unprecedented) season series sweep of the Phillies who really need wins if they are going to sneak into the expanded playoffs. They are also talking about the above average pitching the Cubs have gotten this season, Christopher Morel fist bumping the Ricketts before hitting bombs and speculate on free agents. After the break they look at Anthony Rizzo's managerial debut, the fact that no one wants these NL Wild Card spots and preview the final six games of the year against the Cincinnati Reds.

CCB #174: The Cubs Beat the Buccos

Sara and Danny are looking back at a four game series against the Pirates that saw the Cubs win three to salvage a season series win against their division foes. But honestly, it felt pretty ho hum. All of September feels ho hum. Whatever drama used to exist in wild card races appears to be mostly gone. After the break we are previewing the Cubs last chance to impact those races as they host Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies for three games at Wrigley Field.

CCB #173: September Snoozefest

Sara and Danny look back at a forgettable series against a forgettable Marlins team that the Cubs won, but really, if you won't remember most of these players in the next five years what are we even doing here?

CCB #172: Back to Cubs Reality

Sara and Danny are back talking about three lackluster games against the Colorado Rockies over a beautiful weekend of baseball at Wrigley Field. They spend a bit of time talking about Cubs giveaway and why some of the best ones are special ticket offers that can be hard to navigate, plus overall there should just be more of most giveaways. Also, shoutout to Frank the Mistaken Identity Podcast who made Sara's day on Sunday. After the break Sara and Danny are checking in our beloved Blue Jays before previewing a three-game series against the Marlins in Miami.

CCB #171: Sweep the Mets!

Sara and Danny are stunned, happy and singing about the Cubs sweeping the Mets in New York, they look at all of the highlights from the series that saw the Cubs handily win against a first place team with small ball, long balls, solid starting pitching and a great bullpen. They are also talking about the amazing and official MiLB union, why we are going to be Toronto Blue Jays fans for the playoffs and previewing a three game weekend series against the Colorado Rockies.

CCB #170: Rain on the Mets Parade

Sara and Danny talk about two forgettable series losses to the Reds and Giants that saw a spectacular debut from Hayden Wesneski and more bullpen woes. They are also giving begrudging kudos to Albert Pujols, who is hitting so many home runs he can afford to be generous with them. After the break they look at the surprise news that MLB will recognize the MiLB union and the possible implications of rule changes for the 2023 season before previewing three games against the New York Mets at Citi Field.

CCB #169: Betting in a Time of Pujols

Sara and Danny are back after the Cubs were swept out of St. Louis by the man, the myth, the resurgent, Albert Pujols and honestly at this point, what even is baseball other than praying some team out there not named the Yankees or Dodgers will defeat the Cardinals. They are also looking at how gambling impacts watching the nation's pastime right now in ways that just don't seem on the level at all. After the break, they are previewing a series between the Reds and Cubs that looks a lot more like tryouts than competitive baseball in September.

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

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.

CCB #167: Unionize the Minors

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 the player and the team before previewing the Cubs three game series in Toronto.

CCB #166: Cardinals Smardinals

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).

CCB #165: Spilt Beer and Here Come the Cardinals

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 out a red hot St. Louis offense during this week's five-game series.

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

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 baseball, as God intended.

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

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 birthday, talk about pitcher injuries and then preview the Great Cornholio Game tonight in Dyersville. Yes, there will be a Bingo card.

CCB #161 Cubs Karaoke and a Series Win

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

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 like Vin before closing out with a preview of the Cardinals doubleheader and a three game series at Wrigley Field against the Marlins.

CCB #159 Trade Deadline Drama Delayed

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

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 adjustments since coming off the IL. Plus, we pay our respects to Dwight Smith and preview four games against the Giants in San Francisco.

CCB #157: Streaming the Sweep

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 the North Side as Cubs. Stay tuned til the end if you want to hear Danny's spicy take on Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt missing the Toronto series.

CCB #156: Historic Biblical Losses

CCB #155: The Cubs are Metsing

Allison made her first trip to Wrigley Field over the weekend and offers her takes on the Friendly Confines.

After the break they discuss the draft, the All Star Break the Futures Game and more.

CCB #154 Swept by the Orioles

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.

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

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 Albert Pujols doing in the Home Run Derby, can you just make it stop? Finally Sara and Danny finish up with a preview of a quick two game series against the Orioles.

CCB #152: Haders gonna hate

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 Cubs see if they can continue their winning ways against the NL West leading Dodgers.

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

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.

CCB #150 A Series Win in St. Louis

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.

CCB #149 Ennui Catuli

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

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

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?

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 reunions with former Cubs, but notably, World Series Champion Anthony Rizzo.

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.

After the break they are previewing the first Cubs-Cardinals series of the year which will be a five game set at Wrigley Field including a bunch of guys who sound like they were made up hitting out of their shoes, a Saturday doubleheader between a bunch of guys TBD, and the ageless Adam Wainwright matching up against Justin Steele on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball (yes, there will be Bingo).
