Father’s Day has come and almost gone at this time, but we found some time to talk about the last very long stretch of games for our favorite Cubs:
- Cubs patching together enough pitching to get by
- the Ben Brown mystery
- prepping against good pitching
- the surprising Rafael Devers trade
You can check out the podcast page or just click on the embedded players below. You can also use the sidebar to get to our Apple Podcast pages and leave a nice review and rating if it pleases you.

Shohei Ohtani is apparently going to pitch soon so we missed talking about that

Ohtani gave up a couple hits and a run, was a bit wild but did hit 99-100 and looked OK

Boston media/front office with the knives out, I’ve missed this. Can’t wait for someone to toss out some unfounded drug or criminal allegations.

I saw recently that the 2025 Rockies have a lower OPS than Carlos Zambranoβs career number. (dying laughing)

The Cubs should be able to score some runs, but Ben needs to buckle down

I wonder what it would cost to get Aroldis Chapman at the TDL again.

I should have planned this vacation for when I would not be blacked out of the Cubs games (dying laughing)
berseliusQuote Reply
dmick89,
I really donβt know if I would have gotten back into Cubs baseball after a few years away from it without PCA. As fun to watch as peak Zambrano for me. Maybe even Kerry Wood. Not up to the Sammy level. Not yet.

Cubs are up seven in the loss column and should probably win at least one of the next two since the Cards are playing the White Sox.

There is a strong chance today’s game gets delayed
Rice CubeQuote Reply
It would appear it is indeed postponed and will be a doubleheader during the August 4 (now 5) game series
Rice CubeQuote Reply
So no Cubs, Brewers, or Cardinals action today.
andcountingQuote Reply
Glad to see the doubleheader isnβt in some stretch of 20 games without an off day.

There is a chance the Cubs will, by virtue of simply not playing today, claim sole ownership of the best record in the NL.

andcounting,
The Mets just lost, even if Dodgers win I believe Cubs will lead by mere percentage points
