Until we can figure out a better night/day/whatever to record, it’ll be just RC & berselius gracing your eardrums for those who dare to listen.

Dogs >>> Cubs
So everything we said in the last Dreamcast still applies and also the Cubs shouldn’t go full sell off even if they are tracking to really suck ass. Unfortunately I am still 0-for-Oracle, and we will see if I get another shot to get into the win column next season (unless I move back to Chicago earlier than expected). At …
The Plan, Revisited
I recall, nearly six months ago when the Cubs basically passed over every impact free agent save for Dansby Swanson (who was a consensus Plan B), we tried to figure out what the plan was even as the sound bytes were flying: The fear then was that this team would be hard pressed to go .500, but I guess most …
Dreamcast 62: That Milk Ain’t Clean
Rice, berselius, & BVS ponder the direction of these Cubs as they decide whether or not this year is a punt year or a go year. We probably talked about some of the stuff you were thinking, including: You can check out the podcast page or just click on the embedded players below. You can also use the sidebar to get to …
Fun With Cubs World Seriousness
Just thought this was fun and deserved its own auto-embed. Carry on.
Dreamcast 61: Not Mad, Just Disappointed
Rice and Berselius hang out to talk about the disappointing Cubs after an encouraging start to the season, when they went 14-13 by the end of April but finish May with a 24-31 record, vastly underperforming their Pythagorean record. We did talk about some of the new rules and the ABS system on the horizon, and just generally shrugged because …
Pondering Pitching
To preface this, and for those of you who listened to the latest Dreamcast, we sort of remarked on it too: Now it’s easy to blame David Ross for a lot, but I imagine a lot of the directives to use guys in certain spots of the lineup probably aren’t his decision, although he does use substitutions (pinch-hitting, pitching changes) …
Dreamcast 60: Growing Pains
Well kids, the Cubs just got swept by the Astros, and the last one was a full blown bullpen meltdown just like in the old days. Berselius and Rice Cube got together for a quick record during the game on Tuesday and the stuff we talked about reared its ugly head on Wednesday, though it was nice to see Christopher …
Dreamcast 59: Shrug Emoji
Why is it so hard these days for the Cubs to score runs, let alone win a baseball game? We did this yesterday on AC’s birthday where he got to tell us a little bit about his undying love for Nick Madrigal, and then we went ahead and discussed the rookies (well, Mervis is still here, Morel is back, and …
Arbitrary 24-Games-In Cubs Assessment
Once upon a time in the ancient days of January 2023, I made some quasi-predictions of how the Cubs would fare throughout this season since they’d be playing against all 29 other MLB clubs. Suffice it to say that these Cubs have banked a few extra wins than I anticipated en route to their (as of this writing) 14-10 record …
