  • Inside the clubhouse

    David. I just heard you say the cubs may be distancing themselves from Matt Shaw because he’s gonna speak at a remembrance of Charlie Kirk. Lol. Aaron Judge said 80 percent of MLB players are conservative. Who cares. You are a total joke and are ruining the weekday morning show and the baseball show. Not to mention the excessive swallowing all the time while drinking your coffee.

  • Mute the host

    Would have giving it a 5 star, love the guest they bring on. The production needs to mute the host who’s drinking coffee and shuffling papers while the guest are speaking. Super annoying listening to the sipping and throat clearing of this hosts coffee experience .
