  • J. Hood > Kap

    The show is great but it should be the “J. Hood, Shea , and J. Moore show”. Kap causes me to turn the show off

  • Mostly good

    J Hoods Bears takes are a repeat of the CHGO Bears postgame takes. Almost point by point from the CHGO pod that drops the night before

5/8 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: What did you think of the Cubs' recent performance and injuries?
Jesse Rogers highlighted the depth of the Cubs, noting how role players have stepped up, and emphasized that the lineup is interchangeable to absorb pitching injuries, with players like Dansby and PCA contributing significantly on defense and offense.
5/5 8AM: Shot or No Shot/Albert Breer
Q: What is the biggest question facing the Chicago Bears after the draft?
The main concern is whether they have enough at edge rusher and how the offensive line will develop, with debate about whether current players can fill those roles effectively.
5/4 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: How does Craig Council operate on a day-by-day basis, and what makes him different from other managers?
Jesse Rogers explains that Council has evolved notably since his Brewers days, embracing Wrigley and showing a sharp, dry sense of humor; he's more engaged behind the scenes than public perception suggests, and the team is playing at a peak version under his leadership.
4/20 7AM: Jesse Rogers
Q: Jesse, what stood out to you from the Cubs' recent series?
Jesse notes the depth of the Cubs' lineup, bullpen improvements, and Counsell's strategic use of pinch hitters and matchups, which have contributed to their early success.
4/27 7AM: Albert Breer (Segment Only)
Q: Why did prompts like Tienemann fall to the Bears, and how does positional value play into these decisions?
Breer explains that teams weigh positional value and immediate need against long-term prospect value, with some players sliding due to front-office risk calculations and the strategic preference to address more urgent, higher-value spots later in the draft.
