#Cubs #ChicagoCubs
Loved Michael Busch's smile seeing that last HR!! Multi HR for Busch!
I'll just add that Sam and Matt have really made a community through this channel. I look forward to their excitement, humor, laments, and insights every morning before work.
Wanted to share my appreciation for you guys making the ridiculous season a bit more fun!
Best intro ever, seriously
Usually a podcast listener. Love the show guys!!
Sam, I knew I loved you, but when you said your birthday was November 2nd, I felt like we were brothers. Mine is November 2nd as well. Although I'm substantially older than you, I still felt a kinship. I love your passion (win or lose) and now I know why.
Am I the only one that thinks the cubs aren’t as worried about this team as we are lol
The ownership is not worried
I agree. I think this team needs a lot of work. It doesn't seem like the front office thinks that though.
52 tweets during bears game from one of the hosts is absolutely DIABOLICAL lmao
Sam- did you see PCA on the Rose rotation podcast today?? It’s really great- you should watch it. I decided I’m getting a PCA jersey as well, and this interview shows a vulnerable PCA side- pretty cool.
I said I wanted a jersey after the inside the parker 😂
Can we all agree that the '24 Cubs are toast? When will we see our minor leaguers? Kind of glad this disappointing season is over. Bring up the kids now!!!
bring up Shaw and Caissie...tehy're hammering it in AAA....
But Wisdom still wants to strikeout a few more times 🤷
Is Parades the guy you want as your starting 3rd baseman in 25 ? Backup at best . Knowing the Cubs they'll probably bring back Madrigal and frustrate the fan base again . Never a star with Hoyer . Always settle for second best and below average.
They are a few tweaks away from being a playoff team
Counsell is a problem
A jersey episode would be cool. I love those 60s baby blue away jerseys. I dig the st patty day green T-shirt ones too
It's always a great day when the Cubs win.
Congrats to Matt’s dad for his Race To Wrigley record🎉🎉
Can you guys set me up with the lady that reads the title card?
Anything below
I agree with Sam Nico’s run in Chicago is coming to an end we got a stud in Matt Shaw and he’s ready for the mlb
I am A CUBS FAN Oh thank God season is almost over
I don't get it the Cubs broadcasters and the media are trying to push the idea that Isaac is good despite bating under .200 since joining but I don't buy it and still think it was stupid to trade away Morel. I feel like they would have the same record even without the trade.
@IamThePro78 parades is not an MLB caliber talent at 3rd or anywhere else on the field and especially at the plate !
Matt, I like your proposed trade with Seattle.
Don’t understand where the hate for Horner comes from, dude plays hard everyday
Who cares if he plays hard. He doesn’t hit the ball hard, is an absolutely liability on offense
Trading Suzuki wouldn't improve this offense unless they're putting Soto out in RF. An we all know that isn't happening. Plenty of other trade candidates not named Suzuki.
They've got 24 blown saves and a 58% save percentage. The Brewers for comparison have a 73% save percentage. If they had say a 70% save percentage they'd be in the top wildcard spot above the Padres and only a couple games behind the Brewers for the division. That's with how bad the offense was in May/June as well. Maybe next year they'll get it figured out in April instead of June 30th.
Went to the two Cub loses in Denver and had the same reaction, of course they would lose both in the same old, tired way. PCA not stealing was perplexing, especially since he was doubled up twice.
Cubs need a legit closer as that would help the bullpen knowing you have a shut down closer. I can't think of the last championship level team that had unreliable closers.
I had Nico traded to the Mariners as well, but for Andres Munoz.
I don’t think the cubs are going to trade for a start and will most likely be in the starting pitcher market.
If an outfielder it might be Ian Happ out of all the players along with Nico Hoerner
I’m a cup then, but thank God the seasons are almost over
Best jersey on this team right now? My main man -- "Steele Justice"
Just eliminated Matt Cozzi from list of potential replacement for Jed Hoyer after that Seattle trade idea. LOL
Hoerner seems a lot more consistent on defense than Paredes. I think it's up to either of them to step up hiting-wise. Dismissing the idea of keeping Nico makes me sad in the same way that losing Morel did.
It's only been since 2018 since the Cubs have made the playoffs in a normal season. I can't wait to hear more hype about the kids on the farm who will one day be stars. /sarc
Random aside - I received my 2025 season ticket invoice last week. My seats are in the Terrace Reserve Preferred section (200s). My total price per seat last year, including tax but excluding service fee, was $4,347. My total price per seat for 2025 is $4,533. On its face, this doesn't seem TOO bad - it equates to a ~4% increase in price compared to 2024. However, when you factor in the fact that there are two fewer home games at Wrigley this year due to the Japan series (and there is no information on if season ticket holders will have an opportunity to purchase tickets for that series), the price per game actually is going up ~7%.
A ~7% price increase for a team that (yet again) didn't make the playoffs seems a bit steep in my opinion.
Could a small factor be based on schedule? If they play a lot of “top tier” teams those games usually yield higher ticket prices
Too late to start playing well. If cubs had some bulpen pitching they would be leading now!
@@gregwicinski5752 The Cubs need a lot more than just a closer . They need a legit superstar on offense along with another star or two . I wouldn't miss half of these guys if they were gone tomorrow !
He’s almost like a RH A. Rizzo.
In this way….he crowds the plate and tries to pull ball out front. Rizzo would go the other way at times. He may of been more willing to do that considering the shift rules in his prime. He works counts and is
A good hitter. I don’t see he can’t add a little
Oppo PoP-Oh!!! To his repertoire?!!?
Let’s face it, Perades is a decent player on a team of “good” players. I wouldn’t say he’s worth hanging on to. These guys are way too streaky and need consistency.
Cubs need a star at 3B. They don't need another player who is extremely inconsistent. Cubs have PLENTY of those players.
Sadly, there is no available star 3B player that is available.
He'll be there by 2026, or possibly mid/late 2025(Cam Smith is destroying the minors already). Otherwise, who are the superstars you're getting?
-Jose Ramirez?(Not likely moving and he's getting old to give more big $)
-Matt Chapman? (Aging, not amazing hitter, defense still great but fading)
-Austin Riley? Is that really a dramatic improvement offensively and defensively, consistently?
-Machado? Not worth the money or lazy running and aging.
What superstar 3B are there these days? It's not the loaded position it used to be.
With the market of actual elite 3B, the Cubs are MUCH better riding a pretty good Parades until Cam Smith is ready, and investing/trading 2025 for 1) elite closer 2) Starter 3) Catcher 4) a high level bat (OF and let Bellinger walk or trade Happ?)...trading Hoerner is becoming a high possibility and smart move.
Paredes is a stud.
They’re Shitty !!!
The Astros should trade for Paredes….just a thought.
He's a below-average defensive player. A liability.
Whose laugh is that… I recognize it but can’t recall
When will Suzuki ever swing at a -Too Close to Take pitch Maybe he leads the league in Called out on Strikes
he needs to bench
@@Beatlesbec Funniest thing I've ever heard
Now sweep Athletics!
The Cubs need another catcher. Amaya gotta go. I'd keep the other dude. They need to learn how to hit and also hit with runners on. They take WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUY too many strikes in hitter's counts. Suzuki is the worst. So a new hitting philosophy means a new coach. They need a manager who starts ordering his batters to swing in a hitter's counts. Flash the signal to the 3b coach. It's a 2-0 count with runners on 1st and 2nd and nobody out. SWING. They need 8th and 9th inning pitching help. All they have to do is swing the bat. Put the ball in play. PCA needs to learn how to run the bases. But he's a star and needs to hit leadoff. I would get rid of Isaac at 3rd and bring up some AAA talent, as he's ready. I would not trade Nico. So, they need another starting pitcher, a closer, a catcher,. a 3rd baseman and as a team? Swing at 2-0, swing at the first pitch fastball down the middle. Trade Suzuki. He strikes out too much. He is hitting in the .270s. He'd be a .300 hitter if he wasn't so timid and meek. Belli is staying and can play RF. And get something for J Wicks.
im trying to wrap my head around hey lets trade nico nonsense i know not alot of power but everyone knew this was the type of contact guy he is and good defense. but anyway looks like they elimanted that leg kick from pardeses stance. cubs gotta get some qualty lefties in the pen and a lockdown closer i really thought biggie could be that guy but u traded him lol so.. you got all these outfielders wth u gonna put them go after mason miller or keep fiddling around with ur 21 blown saves coz ten more wins and u would probaly be in. rant done see u in mar lol
Where will Matt Shaw or Cam Smith play? Either 3B or 2B. Nico has been disappointing this season. If he isn’t going to hit for more power he has to hit @ .280 or he’s replaceable
24 blown saves actually lol. 58% save percentage this year.
@@Gnar_Dogg oh shit smh
FIRST
Good grief Olbur. Stick to baseball. You’re absolutely clueless and I do mean CLUELESS ABOUT THE NFL.
“5 yard penalty just cost you 3 points”
Here’s a free lesson, Olbur.
Down.
Distance.
Time.
You can’t sit there and say after the fact , that a 5 yard penalty cost you 3 points. That’s ridiculous.
EVERYTHING Hou did or was going to do was always predicated on DOWN. DISTANCE. AND TIME.
A 5 yard penalty was mute. And it’s disingenuous to say otherwise.
Stick to baseball. I know you use Twitter to try to show off how smart you are but the NFL is over your head.
