  • No Offense - With Special Guest, Alex Cohen!

    ⚾️On this Week's Episode:⚾️

    We made it to another Friday, but with less total offense than we would have liked. A 2-5 home stand prior to the Cardinals and Brewers feels less than ideal, but health is on the way. 

    Or help? Alex Cohen (@voiceofcohen2), the play-by-play announcer for the Iowa Cubs joins Jeff to talk his story into baseball and thoughts on the pro and AAA team as they head into June.
