2025-06-0914 minBleav in CubsLarry Hawley on the Cubs' Tough Playoff Odds and Deadline NeedsFormer WGN web sports reporter and producer Larry Hawley joins the podcast to talk about the Cubs' ongoing struggles with the bat and in the bullpen. We touch on the team's plummeting playoff odds, how they might approach the trade deadline, and what has actually gone right this year.
2024-06-2842 minBleav in CubsWhat's Next for the Struggling Cubs?Let's face it: The Cubs have not been a fun team to watch this year. Shota Imanaga is continuing to pitch well, but they're making too many outs on the bases, too many defensive miscues and aren't scoring runs. So what can be done about it? Host Gary Cohen looks at where the Cubs stand (it ain't good) and how they might be able to get better.
2024-06-1225 minBleav in CubsChris Emma on the Cubs' Slumping Bats and Early Trade Deadline NeedsChris Emma of 670 The Score joins Gary Cohen to talk about the Brewers' surprising resilience, the Cubs' slumping bats, and the impact of young players like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ben Brown. We also predict some early trade deadline moves and discuss why the Bears on Hard Knocks will be appointment viewing.
2024-05-3133 minBleav in CubsBen Brown Dazzles for Slumping Cubs; PCA Earns MiLB Player of the WeekForgetting what "Go, Cubs, Go!" sounds like? The Cubs are mired in their first prolonged slump of the season. The bats have gone cold, dropping the team close to the .500 mark. On the bright side, Ben Brown just spun seven no-hit innings, and Pete Crow-Armstrong won minor league player of the week honors. Also, MLB just made a big change to their statistical database.
2024-05-2928 minBleav in CubsCheryl Raye-Stout on Breaking Jordan's Baseball News; Imanaga's and Assad's Pitching AcumenCheryl Raye-Stout of WBEZ has been covering Chicago sports for four decades. On this episode, she talks about breaking Michael Jordan's baseball news, watching Shota Imanaga and Javier Assad dominate with pitchability, and covering Mark Grace and Sammy Sosa. We also appreciate Kyle Hendricks for the pitcher he was and the person he is, and look ahead at a potentially exciting Bears season.
2024-05-2139 minBleav in CubsDiving Into the New Statcast Bat Tracking Data on Cubs PlayersThe Shota Imanaga appreciation podcast continues, as the Cubs' newest import pitches another gem, Kyle Hendricks is back on the bump and looking more like himself, and the bullpen is struggling. But, mainly, host Gary Cohen dives into a new trove of MLB Statcast bat tracking data and how it can be used to evaluate Cubs hitters. We also remember Don Cardwell's surprising 1960 no-hitter.
2024-05-1528 minBleav in CubsTommy Birch on Cubs Prospects PCA, Owen Caissie, and Cade HortonTommy Birch, Iowa Cubs beat reporter for the Des Moines Register, joins Gary Cohen to talk about top prospects Pete Crow-Armstrong, Owen Caissie, and Cade Horton.

2024-05-1049 minBleav in CubsCubs Move Into First Place Behind Strong Starting Pitching and Improved DefenseWhen the year started, misinformed pundits (like host Gary Cohen) said the Cubs might be a little thin in the starting rotation. But with Justin Steele back, Jameson Taillon impressing, Javier Assad soaring, and Shota Imanaga looking like a Rookie of the Year, the Cubs have moved into a first-place tie. In this episode, Cohen discusses the Cubs stellar staff, examines some improved defensive numbers, and looks back at Kerry Wood's 1998 gem, still one of the best games ever pitched.
2024-05-0826 minBleav in CubsCubs Players of the Month for April, Mike Tauchman and Shota ImanagaWith the Cubs heading into May and their first series against the front-running Brewers, host Gary Cohen looks at the Cubs' first month of the season and top performers Mike Tauchman and Shota Imanaga. He also talks about the loss of superstar Mike Trout and looks back at a historic double no-hitter thrown at Weeghman Park in 1917.
2024-05-0322 minBleav in CubsJared Wyllys on Shota Imanaga, PCA, and John CalipariJared Wyllys, writer for CHGO Sports, joins the podcast to discuss Shota Imanaga's historic start to the season, how this call-up is different for Pete Crow-Armstrong, and his take on the NL Central. We also dive into Bluegrass basketball — he's a Kentucky guy and I'm a Louisville guy.
2024-04-3037 minBleav in CubsCubs Show Impressive Depth Despite Injuries, PCA, Ben Brown and Hayden WesneskiThings are going well so far on the North Side of Chicago. The Cubs are 16-9 and have the third best record in the NL. Which is amazing if you look at how this year has played out. The Cubs have been tested in the early going by injuries to key players like Cody Bellinger and Justin Steele, but they continue to find ways to win. We also celebrate Wrigley Field’s birthday and a memorable moment in LA courtesy of Rick Monday.
2024-04-2623 minBleav in CubsTony Andracki on the Cubs' Resiliency, Kyle Hendricks, Miguel Amaya, and MoreTony Andracki, digital content manager and Cubs reporter for Marquee Sports Network, joins the podcast to discuss the Chicago Cubs’ resiliency out of the gate, Kyle Hendricks’ early struggles, the emergence of Miguel Amaya, and how minor leaguers Owen Caissie and Matt Shaw could make a big impact on the 2024 team. We also briefly reminisce about how the 2016 postseason run was fueled by Phil Collins.

He also bids a fond farewell to former Cubs lefty and four-time World Series winner Ken Holtzman, author of two no-hitters for the North Siders and the winningest Jewish pitcher of all time.
