Wrigley Rapport Podcast

After pulling defeat from the jaws of victory in game 1, I rant about the highway robbery of Addy’s Triple, @RyanTadych visits to talk trades, and I let loose the secret to beating out the Brewers down the stretch.

We go through the rotation and how the Cubs can stabilize the production on the Hill through what their defense does behind it. Plus we talk to @ryan_tadych about the flurry of MLB trades. Right before his Bluetooth leaves me hanging. And who would I give up for DeGrom to be a Cub? #StrikeoutArtist is on the list.

What brought the Cubs together to have the best record in the national league in spite of injury and slumping super stars? @bigbenkc has the answer and takes a look at the potential Outfield for the 2019 Cubs. Who’s in, who’s out, and who should just be happy to not be retired yet.

Twitter onslaught helps me take to the Mic and make my case on why the @Cubs got swept in Cinci, and how they can change their approach to plate more runners.

We recap what the series win means for the Cubs over the Dodgers followed by Aunger and Tadych stopping by to talk pitching and #Schwarbombs!

I break down how managers like Joe Maddon use patience and confidence to bring the best out of slumping players, and @Ryan_tadych stops by and we throw down over whether or not the bullpen is being overused to preserve the starting rotation. And what to do about Chatwood’s Walks?

This week Wrigley Rapport Columnist Ryan Tadych joins the Wrigley Roundtable to discuss Arietta vs Darvish, the Bullpen, and Heyward at the plate.

Adam Plutko or whatever the rookies name is, no-hit the Cubbies for 6 innings, and Joe Maddon deflects in yet another meaningless press conference following the shut out.

The Cubs #5 starters have been a sore spot since Theo has been bringing them in, and Chatwood looks like another sorry addition by Theo.
