  • Dreamcast 82: Following the Superb Owl
    Fresh off the Super Bowl, RC and Berselius hang out to talk about some shitty new uniforms, make fun of the A’s and their stupid stadium situation, ponder what’s up with Cody Bellinger and the other big Boras players, and look forward to spring training officially getting underway.

  • Dreamcast 81 (and 80 too): No Content
    Very little has happened in the new year with respect to the Cubs and what we hoped they would do by now, but Spring Training is a mere two weeks away and so you would think they will do something before pitchers and catchers report. RC & Berselius try to navigate the lack of good content and talk: You can ...

  • Dreamcast 79: Yellow Journalism
    Nothing much happened during the Winter Meetings, and then Shohei Ohtani did his thing and the journalistic shit hit the fan, so we got together to talk about the aftermath of the Ohtani decision, the timeline of free agent excitement (or lack thereof), the various media failures that led to Bob Nightengale of all people calling them out on their ...

  • Dreamcast 78: Shohei Hey!

    I decided to save “rapid unscheduled disassembly” for some other time when we finally see the Padres fire sale or something similarly spectacular, but we did get together just before Thanksgiving and after a very bad MLB decision occurred. Thankfully, in keeping with the theme of the holiday, nobody signed Shohei Ohtani right after we finished recording, so here we are in lightly-edited glory.

    Topics:

    • Some stuff on awards, qualifying offers, and Rule 5 protection/roster moves
    • Our dreams of Shohei Ohtani and some other new friends
    • The A’s owner is dumb and should be pilloried literally and figuratively

      • You also get to hear some Bears talk because reasons. We’ll be back after the Winter Meetings conclude.

    • Dreamcast 77: Back on the Bandwagon Again

      Welp, we had this thing done on Sunday night and then the Cubs went and blew up our plans, so we recorded again. Mind you it’s a good thing that they did the thing, but still, considering how most of us have actual jobs, this is as early as I could get it to you (dying laughing)

      This time:

      • The Cubs clandestine recruitment of Craig Counsell
      • What this means for David Ross
      • What this means for the 2024 Cubs
      • Some old stuff about the World Series that just happened
      • Thoughts on the Gold Glove winners
      • Some goofs and easter eggs for your amusement

        • We’ll be back after the GM Meetings and the MLB award announcements for another episode before the Thanksgiving break, and hopefully by then we know more about how the Cubs intend to make Counsell’s first year really slap.

      • Dreamcast 76: Magnificent Seven

        Congratulations to the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks for giving MLB a postseason ratings nightmare, and for preventing me from calling this episode “The Full Dombrowski” just for berselius.

        Topics include:

        • Our enjoyment of the postseason so far
        • Whether the playoff structure and the bye is good or bad
        • Things to take care of for the Cubs this offseason to get an invite to the party next year

          • We’ll try to do something right after the World Series where I actually do some research to see what the Cubs can feasibly do to make a 2024 postseason run a reality.

        • Dreamcast 75: The Post-Mortem

          The postseason will continue without the Cubs again, but we got together anyway to talk about what a fun season this was despite the disappointing end. Topics include:

          • Things we liked and definitely did not like
          • How to fix some of the slumpy and stupid issues the Cubs dealt with this season
          • The mastery (or lack thereof) of David Ross
          • Wish list for the offseason, including Cody Bellinger (maybe)
          • AC’s undying love for Nick Madrigal

            • This one’s a longer one because we had a lot of stuff to say. We’ll get together again just before the World Series in case there’s some Cubs-related news that popped up but mostly just to talk about the playoffs probably.

          • Dreamcast 74: Fumes

            Kind of sucky that we have actual jobs and lives and responsibilities that make it so our recording sessions often coincide with Cubs games, and also sucky that sometimes, the Cubs don’t win those games. But methinks most of what we said during this latest poop of a loss is still applicable as the Cubs remain in contention in the final week of the season, which is an objective fact even if their path is a bit more difficult due to various self-inflicted wounds. Herein:

            • Stroman’s return and pitcher usage with injuries and fatigue racking up
            • Using the best possible matchups
            • Play the rookies, maybe?
            • Award nominees like we actually had a vote
