  • No Cole Wright

    It’s Anthony Rizzo Day and the podcast about it is Cubs Postgame Live? How about Alex Cohen, Andy Martinez or even Tom Prizeman? I watch all the games and never watch pre- or postgame because I quickly tire of Cole’s schtick of catch phrases and nicknames. You can do better -please do. Don’t use Lance being off to be lame. If you want to do a daily podcast, commit to it.

  • More game talk please

    I appreciate the analysis Lance does but I miss the chat about the players and actual games. A daily show should be able to spend at least a few minutes on that. Two of the Mets games weren’t on Marquee, Horton debuts and you use prerecorded content? Lazy and lame.

  • Boring

    If you ever have trouble sleeping, put these two on and you’ll be out within minutes. These two have no energy, no personality, no passion for the team they are covering.
