RC, AC, SVB & berselius hang out as the Cubs were crapping the bed against the Tigers (but they did win the finale and the series) to ponder the state of the Cubs. Topics include:
The pitching situation, what with Drew Smyly sucking and Marcus Stroman with a weird injury;
Whether we would prefer a switch-up in the lineup construction;
Personnel decisions as we head closer to September call-ups;
A bit about the weird timing of the White Sox news if you missed it;
…and some stuff about broadcasters and streaming availability
Apologies for the lazy edit, ran out of time and have to do actual work here and there for a real job that pays money.

As the Cubs continue to chip away at their deficits in both the division and wild card races, RC, SVB, and Berselius hang out to consider how to bridge the rotation until Stroman gets back (and hopefully doesn’t suck), Drew Smyly going to the bullpen, trying to get Seiya Suzuki right, and extending Cody Bellinger. Plus there’s some extended talk about some diaper commercial.

Glad the Cubs didn’t blow it in the ninth, but they probably should figure out how to find a better lefty reliever.
Anyway, RC & Berselius hang out to discuss the happenings around the Trade Deadline now that it’s over, including what the Cubs did. We also hope for a quick fix for Marcus Stroman and Seiya Suzuki while also considering how the new rules and the fun injected into the game has benefitted the league in terms of attendance, plus how we watch games and the new Marquee streaming package.

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. In this episode:
The stupid Oakland Athletics move that’s probably going to happen because Nevada caved and they’re probably going to regret it
The fun with the dogs and the atmosphere at Oracle Park even though the Cubs lost
What to do about the Cubs roster as they welcome back Cody Bellinger and trade season is coming soon (this was recorded on Tuesday night so obviously stuff happened since then)
Hoping the Cubs actually complete a sweep and can keep building in a crappy division and league

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 they’ll either figure it out on this next West Coast trip or they won’t, it could go either way.
If you were wondering, this was the play we were remarking on:

The Cubs will play the Padres, Angels, and Giants this coming trip, and I’ll check out the series finale in San Francisco with some friends passing through town, so I hope they win at least that one.

Hey everyone, happy holidays! The Cubs pulled off a last minute present just in time even if it wasn’t our first choice in signing Dansby Swanson. Among the various fun topics from AC’s various very good questions include:
The fallout from the Carlos Correa drama session
How we feel about the Cubs as currently constructed
What the Cubs still need to do
…and more!

From my previous rant and given the busy schedule of the other jabronis, I recruited a Twitter buddy to commiserate with re: how stupid the Cubs are and how they can potentially unfuck the offseason somewhat. You can listen below:
Appreciate you guys tolerating my angst. You can also check out the archives at Podbean.
My friend Anno Catuli and I set up a new blog site and added you to the blog roll. Please check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks for letting me hang around all this time, by the way.
