    Would appreciate not having to hear ads read by the former MTV Real World cast member masquerading as a qualified and merit-based Cabinet member.

    I like the fact that this is mostly a professional podcast devoid of fan type angst and emotion.

    I have enough of that and listen to other podcasts that have enough of that.

    Sometimes I need to be grounded and Sahadev and Patrick do that with solid and informed analysis and not knee jerk emotional discourse.

    Love the podcast - highest quality Cubs pod anywhere. Could Mooney please stop hissing in the microphone! This is an audio medium and it’s impossible to not hear him sucking air constantly!

  • Good content. Bad audio.

    It’s 2026, guys. Get a pop filter. Mute yourself when sipping on a drink. Get a better mic. Use editing software to get rid of background noise like mouse clicks.

    This comes off like two amateur-but-well-connected friends talking shop rather than two professionals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cubs mailbag: Nico's value, the next Brad Keller and more
Q: If Nico Hoerner can handle shortstop defensively, is there a real chance he signs an extension with the Cubs?
Hoerner's extension would require a balance between open-market value and what the Cubs are willing to pay; the Cubs may pay a premium to keep him if he demonstrates continued value at shortstop, but an extension could come with some discount relative to open-market deals, depending on the market and CBA considerations.
Cubs mailbag: Nico's value, the next Brad Keller and more
Q: How is this team planning to adjust playing time leading up into the season?
The plan focuses on giving minor league depth and young catchers more at-bats and innings, while incumbents like the major league staff get routine work; expect some prospects to grab opportunities, but pitchers won't be pushed to overwork them as depth is preserved.

Q: Will the Cubs bring back veteran pitchers or stick with current options?
They have options, but they will monitor the market closely and aim for the most effective relievers available.
