Great show fellas, before the season when reviewing the schedule I was hoping for .500 ball in the first half because we have a favorable schedule in the second half. It’s been a rollercoaster first half but we are right about where we is need to be
@@matt_cozzi you could probably find a good “you know?” too.. seeing as there’s about 100 guys in the dugout that say it every other sentence.. but maybe I’m just being mean. We can just pick on the guy who’s making 8 million a year to sit up there an speak like he has a baseball IQ of, “you know” around 43.
I just want to say WAY in advance that I don't want to hear anything about the Cubs going after Soto in the off-season. This owner and GM will never spend that kind of money on a player.
Saw they were down 5 to nothing and (rightly) thought the game was over. Woke up this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully this leads to an extended winning streak. GO CUBS GO!
They need to start the game jumping on teams with runs. That's how they win. If the other team scores first and we don't show no offense we lose. Strike first Cubbies and win
I’m glad they beat the Sox, but they sure had to battle themselves to do it. The Sox are always a loss waiting to happen. If they win decisively today, I might believe they’re turning a corner. But they’re traveling to Cincinnati. If they don’t suddenly become the April ‘24 Cubs…I think they’ll get beaten badly, even swept against Cincinnati. The Cubs, overall, are still sublimely underachieving.
We don’t have a legit third baseman on the big league team currently. Maybe Shaw will be that guy, but too soon to tell. Meanwhile, pretty hard to win with what we’ve got.
I wasn’t going to rant because I have checked out emotionally. Makes it more enjoyable. They’ll have to string some wins together before I reinvest in them. Terrible error by Morel that really screwed with Shota. Becoming a bad pattern of major errors and then makeup homers. We can’t afford those types of errors.
You mean to tell me, the Cubs' farm club doesn't have a single competent 3rd baseman in their system!!??😲🤔🤨 This again, falls on Hoyer!!🙄.........Someone should let Jed know he needs to develop all 8 position players in his Minor league system!!🧐🙄🤨
Even though they pulled this one out on the "skin of their teeth," it's against an extremely woeful franchise from the southside. Cub fans need to temper their emotions and enthusiasm with cautious optimism going forward, as who knows what tomorrow's game will bring? Yes, the team needs some blowout W's to restore the Cubbie communities' confidence in the team and avoid all these so-called "Cubby Occurrences" that have underminded the team, which have been happening in the last month all to frequently. So, hey Chicago, what ya say, are the Cubs going to continue winning today?
I saw no life in the faces of this team. I hope this series is a launching pad for them and regain their confidence. Yes, the WhiteSox are the worse team in baseball in every sense of the word. But, need to win those games.
Nope. Morel's shallow end is Wisdom's ceiling, both fielding and batting(Wisdom was rated worse at 3B the last two years than Morel, by far). We're waiting for Shaw at 3B.
lololol. This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts. Wisdom hits a HR....he needs to start! Little struck out the side.....CLOSER?! Porter Hodge has been lights out.......NEW CLOSER?!
They beat the Sox. Whoopi Doo. I think Jed Hoyer needs to go. Seya, Mancini, Barnhart, Contreras, Dansby, Happ, Busch, Nelson V, Ferris, DJ, Simmons, Hosmer. RIZZO, SCHWARBER?? And I’m sure I’m missing a couple. Any jack ass can trade KB or Javy, Robertson. I think Jed Hoyer has done a mediocre job at best. Some good things to his credit. But overall a D minus which is a fail in my book.
The Cubs will NOT be a winning team with Morel at 3B and Busch at 1B. Neither one of them can play Defense. Morel makes an error that leads to 5 runs. And it's a ground ball RIGHT to him. He is hitting .200 but have him DH. Bellinger has to play 1B. Wisdom can't catch either. Maybe the rookie at 3b or Bote. Suzuki is still passive. His last AB he takes strike 1 down the middle on the first pitch. Next pitch, a hanging meat ball that he watches. 0-2. What happens. He starts swinging at EVERYTHING. The next 4 pitches are balls but he hacks. When you are down 0-2 you get a hit about 1 of 10 times. Suzuki "battled" for 9 pitches says Jon but was out and Oh Fer yet again. I would sit him down like Ross did only for a longer period of time. He can't even run the bases. Put Mike in RF and PCA in CF. This ain't rocket science but I am tired of watching Suzuki and Busch suk and Morel make errors.
Yes it was a bad error by Morel. Shota still has to make better pitches. White Sox came to play. They made some nice defensive plays and hit a couple of bombs. A win is a win.
You guys just gave me a HUGE smile. The intensity of that even teared me up.
♥️
We need 2 DHs. Morel & Suzuki. Both defensive butchers
I don’t believe the current slump can be considered officially over until they take a lead early by more than one run and maintain it the whole game.
Well that's just your criteria.
Marathon Watching 6/5/24 This was really cool. Thanks Matt and Sam. ❤😊
I'm happily stunned
Thanks for the show guys! Watched it live last night. LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️ ✌️ 💙 🐻
Feels good to win a fun game, W

It was a matter of time before teams eyeballed up Imaga. Still have faith in him though.
The Cubs are back BABY !!!!!
Plus!! I'm really happy for Schwarber, and Rizzo!!👏🏾👏🏾
Good show guys. June 4th magic !
A win is a win 🏆!
Gotta LOVE IT!
That home from Wisdom was indeed big. Would love to see him hit more often. He can f*cking hit !
Now let's win two in a row tonight.
I'll repeat what Sam said you gotta start somewhere..dont feel like complaining today....Go Cubs!
Best DEFENSE, Trauchman & Wisdom bench hitters!
We need a big ol Craig Counsell “ummmmm” for the soundboard.
Great suggestion
@@matt_cozzi you could probably find a good “you know?” too.. seeing as there’s about 100 guys in the dugout that say it every other sentence.. but maybe I’m just being mean. We can just pick on the guy who’s making 8 million a year to sit up there an speak like he has a baseball IQ of, “you know” around 43.
Offense locked in!!!!!!
Let’s try Bushwaker at third! Morel DH, Bellinger at first, PCA in center for next month!
Wisdom is also below average defense at 3rd and I don’t want to see him in lineup everyday striking out 3 times
He is always bad, but you picked a bad day to say this uk the guy hits a homer and ties the game at least give him some respect. Just for today.
But if you’re talking about taking people out of the lineup, then the start at Swanson
I just want to say WAY in advance that I don't want to hear anything about the Cubs going after Soto in the off-season. This owner and GM will never spend that kind of money on a player.
Michael Busch, Patrick Wisdom and Brennan Davis for Vlad and a bullpen arm
That’s not enough for Vlad. That might not even be enough for Alonso.
First time all year when Happ came to the plate, I believed he would come through.
White Sox are still a rival it’s the first crosstown game of the year on prime time and they got their best hitter back
Who gave the speech during the rain delay.
Dansby Heyward
commenting for the algo, lets go boys
Saw they were down 5 to nothing and (rightly) thought the game was over. Woke up this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully this leads to an extended winning streak. GO CUBS GO!

The fact they had to fight tooth & nail to beat the Sox is very concerning...
You mean, like the Brewers did a couple of days ago, needing extras to win?
Im hoping that Jed goes out and gets some help. These guys need an outside spark.
I’m glad they beat the Sox, but they sure had to battle themselves to do it. The Sox are always a loss waiting to happen. If they win decisively today, I might believe they’re turning a corner.

Both is a better fielder than wisdom at 3rd
We don’t have a legit third baseman on the big league team currently. Maybe Shaw will be that guy, but too soon to tell. Meanwhile, pretty hard to win with what we’ve got.
Cubs are going NOWHERE until they get a couple good pitchers!
Morel needs to go to RF because of his arm! Happ may need to play 2b some too!
He’s not good in the outfield either and we’ve already got more guys than we need who can actually catch playing outfield. Otherwise, great idea. 🙄
LFG!!!

Maybe Cubs need rain delay every game

Try Busch at 3rd?
Sign Bregmann and Alonzo for the corners!

Yahoo! The Cubbies just need to get healthy and find a decent 3rd baseman
👍
I saw no life in the faces of this team. I hope this series is a launching pad for them and regain their confidence. Yes, the WhiteSox are the worse team in baseball in every sense of the word. But, need to win those games.
Bote would have handled the ball morel blew
I’ve been telling you that wisdom needs to be an everyday player
He’s really only good against lefties though!
Absolutely not lol
Nope. Morel's shallow end is Wisdom's ceiling, both fielding and batting(Wisdom was rated worse at 3B the last two years than Morel, by far).
We're waiting for Shaw at 3B.
lololol. This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts. Wisdom hits a HR....he needs to start! Little struck out the side.....CLOSER?! Porter Hodge has been lights out.......NEW CLOSER?!
Too many offensive sluggers that can’t field. Morel, Wisdom, Suzuki. What r we gonna do have 3 starting DHs?
They keep wasting all of these good starts by Iminaga. No run support and terrible defense
They beat the Sox. Whoopi Doo. I think Jed Hoyer needs to go. Seya, Mancini, Barnhart, Contreras, Dansby, Happ, Busch, Nelson V, Ferris, DJ, Simmons, Hosmer. RIZZO, SCHWARBER?? And I’m sure I’m missing a couple. Any jack ass can trade KB or Javy, Robertson. I think Jed Hoyer has done a mediocre job at best. Some good things to his credit. But overall a D minus which is a fail in my book.
Cubs beat the Sox...nothing sweeter
Remember the white sox are a team that tries to lose games.
What’s new with that man he hasn’t been worth the money for sure
This team sucks,they'll do very little,an isn't it amazing Cubs cant hit good against another Cy young pitching staff
The Cubs will NOT be a winning team with Morel at 3B and Busch at 1B. Neither one of them can play Defense. Morel makes an error that leads to 5 runs. And it's a ground ball RIGHT to him.

It’s the White Sox for crying out loud! WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!
Both Cubs and Sox had the same record in May
@@aidenawe9359again who cares!!!!
It's a podcast about the Cubs...
@@matt_cozzithey must be bored!
Beating the White Sox is the same as beating the Yankees. All worth the same.
Go Cardinals
Ban this man immediately
There is a Locked On Cardinals
Yes it was a bad error by Morel. Shota still has to make better pitches. White Sox came to play. They made some nice defensive plays and hit a couple of bombs. A win is a win.
Morel hurt Imnaga on that error .
