Ivy Envy - Chicago Cubs Fan Podcast (UNOFFICIAL)

On this episode, Andy and Corey discuss the press conference where the Cubs introduced David Ross as the next manager of the team.

The Cubs have reportedly found a replacement for Joe Maddon in David Ross. In this episode, we share our thoughts on this hiring and discuss a couple of the issues people may have with Ross filling the position.

Well, for the first time since 2014, we don't have meaningful Cubs baseball to discuss in October. Instead, we talk about the departure of perhaps the best manager in Cubs history and how the front office and ownership can put the pieces of a broken team back together.

On this episode, we look past the 1% chance the Cubs will make the playoffs and have a stream of consciousness conversation about the Cardinals sweeping the Cubs in a 4-game series at Wrigley, the 2019 season as a whole, and the future of the team.

The Cubs DESTROY the Pirates over the weekend while the Brewers took two of three from the Cardinals. The Cubs now sit 2 games behind the Cardinals as they prepare to host the Reds while the Cardinals play the current wild card leading Nationals.

On this episode, we talk about the Pirates series, the Cubs' playoff hopes, and our recent event, The 2019 Ivy Envy Weekend at the Lake.

This was not a good week for the Chicago Cubs and there is not a lot of optimism in this episode. The Cubs ended the week further behind the Cardinals than they were at the beginning of the week. Oh yeah, and Javy has a hairline fracture, Kimbrel went to the IL, and now Bryant is missing games because of his knee. At a time when the Cubs needed everything to fall in place, things are heading the opposite direction.

The Cubs won a road series! Corey shares his (perhaps misguided) optimism about the 2019 Cubs. We then discuss some of the latest happenings. There have been some good pitching performances, some really shakey bullpen appearances, and an offense that has not been enough. But did the Little League Classic turn around this Cubs season?

On this episode, we spend some time talking about the Cubs' bizarre inability to win on the road in 2019. With our John Baker Day panel discussion episode last week, we talk about some of the negatives and positives over the last two weeks. This really feels like a team that you can read however you'd like, doesn't it?
