  • Just Baseball Would Be Better

    This podcast host has trouble hiding political bias when I thought it was just a Cubs podcast. Other than that, it’s ok.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CubsPS+ #112: Greg Zumach on the Draft, Trade Misses and Prospects Who Might Actually Be Good
Q: Where do you see Conrad being on a similar kind of pace compared to recent picks?
Conrad will likely have a slower timeline due to his recovery, possibly leading to a debut around 2027, whereas other recent picks moved up more quickly.

Q: What do you like about Ethan Conrad?
Ethan Conrad shows potential as a capable player, making good contact and possibly rising quickly through the system, although his shoulder injury may set him back.
Bleacher Bunch #26: The Real All-Stars
Q: DJ, tell me how you got the idea to start this organization and what inspired you to found it?
I recognized the lack of Native American representation and was inspired to create Native Nations to fill that gap.
Bricks Behind the Ivy |
Q: Is there maybe a chance that they're going to put all their baskets in potentially trying to sign Tucker before he becomes a free agent?
It's going to be really challenging to sign Tucker before he hits free agency, as he has earned that right.
Bricks Behind the Ivy |
Q: Is it fair to view that Asad and Taeyong coming back and having good players beyond 2025 is good long term?
Yes, it looks good long term as the Cubs appear to be trying not to mortgage the future for the present.
