Joey Ricotta, Tyler Edmonds, and Nick Hudson (audio only — Big Nick Energy) recap a series win over Atlanta with nine games left and playoff baseball right around the corner.

The Cubs took two of three from the Braves at Wrigley. Starters were fine. The bullpen made all three games feel like a seatbelt. David Peterson threw six shutout innings in Game 1 and carved up Olson and Acuña before the eighth got loud. Shota Imanaga bounced back with six innings, one run, eight punchouts, no walks in an 8–4 Game 3. In between: Kevin Gausman exits, Danny Palumbo gets the out, Jacob Webb comes in, and the group is done pretending Webb is the closer. Zeferjahn’s stuff is still there when it isn’t flat. Edward Cabrera’s 99 gets smoked up in the zone. Shelby Miller getting shut down with this bullpen is the move they can’t explain.

Then the good stuff. Pete Crow-Armstrong went yard twice, passed Billy Williams’ 42 homers, then passed himself. The guys put it against Sosa ’98 and call this the best Cubs season they’ve watched — defense, speed, and he’s dragging a thin pitching staff. Alex Bregman almost hit for the cycle and has been a different player since July. Pedro Ramírez’s work at second doesn’t get buried just because Dansby Swanson is due back Friday against Cincinnati.

With nine games left, they argue who’s actually the most important Cub the rest of the way (Rolison, Palumbo, not PCA), whether 40/40 matters more than 50 bombs, first wild card vs. ducking Milwaukee, and how you handle a Reds series at Great American: Holmes–Burns, Boyd–Lodolo, Peterson–Lowder. Fly the W: Happ, Suzuki, Carson Kelly. Soak it in. FTR. Go Cubs.

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Tyler and Ron are back after a spectacular 6-1 week from the Chicago Cubs!

The guys walk through the show one series at a time. Starting with an incredible sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the vibes are high. Ron talks about attending Wednesday's MVP showdown, the guys mention key moments in the series, and what they were most impressed with.

A natural pitstop for the awesome win over the Toronto Blue Jays is necessary. PCA's shenanigans, Alex Bregman's heroics, and Dylan Cease's Cy Young case are all topics of discussion.

Finally, the guys get to the series win over the Kansas City Royals. Although not a sweep, there was a lot to be encouraged by. New faces contributed, a huge win on Sunday put the exclamation point on the series win, and so much more.

The guys address some fanbase-level questions, and sign off looking ahead to the Washington Nationals series.

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, the crew is on the mics following both the trade deadline and a Cubs winner over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.

Joey, Tyler, and Ron are joined by special guest Nick Neumayer (Center Cup Pod) to discuss the details of the deadline. The crew goes through each trade: Kevin Gausman (which Ron discussed on the last episode), Braxton Garrett, Ryan Zeferjahn, Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. The importance of moving prospects, filling holes, and solidifying the team's depth are all topics of discussion.

The boys enjoy the huge win over the Dodgers as well and turn their sights to the stretch run now that the deadline has passed.

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Ron is back on a solo venture ahead of the MLB trade deadline! Just before going live, the Chicago Cubs acquired RHP Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays. The show was meant for more than trade talk, but the comment section kept the conversation on the trades and what could occur before Monday's 5pm CT deadline.

From there, Ron discusses some possibilities, recaps the Jameson Taillon trade, answers some questions from the comments, and more! After some discussion of the St. Louis and New York series, Ron looks ahead to the Dodgers coming to town on Monday.

The Chicago Cubs take two of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates, successfully taking over Yinzerpalooza in Pittsburgh. Two wins against their two best pitchers cemented a massive series win as the Cubs look to hold onto their Wild Card positioning.

From Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga shoving, to the woes of Jameson Taillon, to the MVPete level of play from Pete Crow-Armstong, Tyler and Ron dive into the weekend series.

It wouldn't be a proper Cubs On Tap episode in late July without some trade deadline discussion. Where do the Cubs go from here? When will they make a move? Who will they deal?

All of that and so much more before we look ahead to a series with the St. Louis Cardinals (FTC).
