Cubs clinched after a season everyone swore was over many times. No epic streaks, just steady chaos. Clinched in Pittsburgh (as usual). I went live with @cody__cubs while the team partied. Even Counsell cracked a smile. 🍾 CubsPS+ Ep.113 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Cubs aren’t collapsing — but they may be stuck in baseball purgatory. @IvyFutures joined Ep 112 to talk draft, deadline, prospect volatility and why Owen Caissie’s K-rate drop is no joke. 🔥 Plus: draft steals, bullpen scraps, and Matt Shaw being HIM. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ryno wasn’t just a Hall of Famer, he was my guy. In Ep 111, I reflect on what #RyneSandberg meant to me as a kid, a coach and a dad. From backyard grounders to Cooperstown, his impact is everywhere. His legacy lives on. #bleacherbunch #Cubs #CubsPSPlus podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ryno was my guy. I started watching the Cubs his rookie year and was 10 when he broke out and became MVP. My best friend and I always said in HS that we’d go to his inauguration someday…and we did. Thanks for a lifetime of memories, Ryno. RIP to the GOAT.

Pete Crow-Armstrong isn’t just fast, he’s warping time & space in center field. 
Episode 110 is a love letter to PCA, swagger & every Cub who ever gave us goosebumps. 
Get nostalgic. Get hyped. Are you ready? I’m ready. #PCA #Cubs @bleacherbunch.bsky.social 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Why did Cade Horton stop at 79 pitches SIX times? 🤯 @cubsmith.bsky.social joins me to talk pitch counts, bullpen depth, and why scoring runs is actually… good? #Cubs #CubsPSPlus #CadeHorton #PitchingDepth #BleacherBunch @bleacherbunch.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Is this evidence of time travel? Glitch in the matrix? Looks like Pac-Man was created by teenagers playing whiffle ball with a pickleball.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives the Rockies a 9th consecutive loss They’re now 4-0 this season when coming in with an 8-game losing streak

Cubs are surviving a brutal April. The bullpen’s under fire. I dug into the blown saves, the numbers behind the panic and why this isn’t 2024 all over again (yet). Plus: Happy Lee Elia Day! #Cubs #BleacherBunch #CubsPSPlus @bleacherbunch.bsky.social 🎙️⚾️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Fun conversation with @cubspsplus.bsky.social -- we'll check back in later this season to see if our tweaks were good ideas or bad ones! And yes, I obvi kept the Tucker trade :P

Cubs look good, but could they have been built differently? For Ep 107, @bcbsara.bsky.social & I re-do the Cubs’ offseason. Do we keep the Tucker trade? How did we load the rotation and bullpen? What other options did Jed have? Join us! @bleacherbunch.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Alex Bregman rumors are still flying - will he be a Cubs, Red Sox or Tiger? With that question still out there, the Cubs roster is not yet complete, but in Ep #103, I compare the 2024 bench to the options for 2025. Did Jed do enough? @bleacherbunch.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Saturday's hot trade rumor had the Cubs in talks with the Marlins on a deal for the talented but oft-injured left-handed starter. It's a fascinating potential move—but a dangerous one. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

An interesting photo of Ryno. #Cubs #MLB

I don't know what the Cubs are doing, but i know it's a holiday week. How are you cooking your turkey? Smoked here. If not turkey, drop a comment about what you're having.

In person, I have to go with Ken Griffey Jr. with Mo Rivera a close second.

It’s been a surprisingly busy week for the Cubs. A new pitching whiz, Caissie/Cowles to the 40, trades for pen help/catcher depth plus the end of the Patrick Wisdom era. 36 hrs from the non-tender deadline, Jed’s awake and might be cooking. Ep 94 is here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Looking to start a new segment on my podcast looking at baseball rules. Arcane rules, confusing rules, new rules. Let me know if you have any rules you want to know more about, learn the origin story, etc.

It’s #Cubs Pod! A recap of Game 6 of the 1945 World Series. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

I'm excited about the Cubs hiring Tyler Zombro from Tread Athletics to add to their pitching development system. Tyler and crew have done a great job at Tread and I can't wait to see his impact on the Cubs.

I’m not normally one to give a lot of credit to Tennessee, but this was pretty fantastic. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYRpSQ5o/

This is the way.

Kinda surreal getting excited for a Tyson fight after all these years. Absolute must-watch back in the day…every version of Iron Mike.

This is crazy.

Cubs fans - there's a lot of trade chatter out there and the Cubs need to make some changes. Further prospects for a moment and only think about the big league team. Who do you feel strongest about the Cubs NOT trading and why?

Sharing this for Hawkeye fans new to BlueSky! go.bsky.app/Uhge4uC

Welcome new followers! Much of the history of women’s basketball before the NCAA (1982) has been forgotten or never told. We believe it deserves a docuseries to preserve and share the stories. #NCAAWBB #WNBA

One thing I've learned writing about baseball history all these years is that prior to the advent of vaccines, the answer to the question, "Did this player die of tuberculosis?" is all too often, "Yes, of course." It is so, so bizarre that there are those among us who want to live in THAT world.

The best thing I saw in the Cubs payroll numbers during and after the work for Episode 93 with @bcbsara.bsky.social? 2025 has $0 in retained salary to count against the 2025 CBT. Finally!
