Locked On Cubs - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Cubs

Thanks to PJ Higgins go-ahead RBI double in the 9th, the Cubs defeated the Brewers on Wednesday to win 2 out of 3. That is 8 wins out of the last 12 games for the Cubs including 4 straight series victories. Up next for the Cubs is the Dodgers, and Marcus Stroman among others may be returning as soon as this weekend in Los Angeles. Plus, Ian Happ is playing well this season and is signed through 2023, but could he be traded as his value continues to increase?

The Cubs throttle the Brewers 8-3 as Seiya Suzuki again is the star in only his second game since returning from the IL. Plus, Carlos Correa says he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild. What does that mean for the Cubs in anticipation of them being active in the shortstop market this off-season? Perhaps Xander Bogaerts is more likely, especially since there was a report recently about the Cubs being the likely landing spot for the current Red Sox player.

Former Chicago Cubs hurler Jake Arrieta has officially announced his retirement. He arguably had the greatest single season ever by a Cubs pitcher in 2015, however can he be considered an all-time Cubs great?

Wade Miley, Alec Mills and Andrelton Simmons are all on the cusp of returning to Big League action. When can we expect to see them suit up?

The Cubs offense has been VERY good early in this 2022 season; however, they have done something VERY bad that could turn into a Major League record. What is it?!

Happy Tuesday Locked on Cubs Family!

Have you heard the saga of Ben Zobrist's "lost" World Series ring? Does he have it? Did he sell it? Who is telling the truth?! We need your help to solve this mystery!

Plus, Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Clayton Kershaw robbed of baseball history after manager Dave Roberts pulled the All Star after 7 perfect innings and just 80 pitches last week. RIDICULOUS! Yet, it got us thinking, has any Cubs pitcher ever tossed a perfect game? If not, who and when?

Finally, our Wrigleyville bar/restaurant tour rolls on today as well! We highlight the best before/after game stops to grab a drink and a bite!

Major League Baseball is now permitting its teams to use a digital pitch calling device, PitchCom, on the field. This will eliminate the traditional finger signals between catcher and pitcher. Some clubs are all for this technology, such as the Tampa Rays and Colorado Rockies, yet can we say the same for the Chicago Cubs? It shows an effort to speed up pace of play and eliminate sign stealing, however will it work?

The device itself will signal pitch and location from the catcher's "digital" wristband right into a receiver in the pitcher's ear on the mound. Does this compromise the integrity of the game? We currently have no official word as to whether or not the Chicago Cubs will engage in this technology.

What is your favorite Wrigleyville bar? We start Part 1 of a multi episode segment that highlights 46 different haunts in the Wrigleyville neighborhood to frequent before or after your next Cubs game at Wrigley Field.

Plus, let's look ahead to the Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates later on today, as the Cubs will face a familiar face at PNC Park!
