Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 976 ratings
  • Please stop saying “we”

    Cringe. New guys Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman are okay, I guess, but stop saying “we” and pointing out obvious things. Seems lazy. Cubs Related is the only show worth listening.

  • Not good

    The CHGO bears podcasts are mostly excellent with one (after dark) that I don’t like. This is the opposite 90% of this is just hot take garbage except for Corey and Brendan’s podcast.

  • Terrible

    One of the worst Cubs pods out there. Stuckmeyer is painful to listen to and the rest of the team is no better.

  • Justin Roman is awful

    Can Justin Roman go a single episode without identifying himself as an optimist? Asking for a friend.

START TO PANIC? How Will Craig Counsell & the Cubs Fix Their Starting Rotation? I CHGO Cubs Podcast
Q: Tony, do you think the Cubs are actually confident that one, two, or three of those guys will be in their rotation next year?
Andracki puts the chances of all three injured pitchers recovering as expected at about one in ten, and says the Cubs still need hundreds of innings beyond what those pitchers might provide.

Q: Is there anybody right now that you would set in stone in the Cubs rotation or put down in Sharpie?
