  • Dreamcast 73: The Moving Goalposts

    We promise never to talk about magic numbers again too prematurely because that past stretch kind of went to hell in a hurry, but the Cubs are still miraculously in a good position to earn that postseason berth should they choose to play better in these final two weeks, and the first game back at home was a pretty good indicator that they might at least try. We also talk a bit about the Tampa Bay stadium thing and some other stuff.

  • Dreamcast 71: House Money

    RC & AC hang out by themselves this time because everyone else had better things to do or whatever. Topics include:

    • Awesome work by Wicks and Assad
    • What’s up with Taillon
    • Cubs vs Brewers
    • The very likely opening Wild Card round
    • Some thoughts on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter

      • I did a bit more editing this time but got pissed off several times because my mouse crapped out here or there and changed settings all funky on me, so at least this is a short one.

    • Dreamcast 70: This Game Will Drive You Crazy

      RC, AC, SVB & berselius hang out as the Cubs were crapping the bed against the Tigers (but they did win the finale and the series) to ponder the state of the Cubs. Topics include:

      • The pitching situation, what with Drew Smyly sucking and Marcus Stroman with a weird injury;
      • Whether we would prefer a switch-up in the lineup construction;
      • Personnel decisions as we head closer to September call-ups;
      • A bit about the weird timing of the White Sox news if you missed it;
      • …and some stuff about broadcasters and streaming availability

        • Apologies for the lazy edit, ran out of time and have to do actual work here and there for a real job that pays money.

      • Dreamcast 69: A Nice Stretch
        As the Cubs continue to chip away at their deficits in both the division and wild card races, RC, SVB, and Berselius hang out to consider how to bridge the rotation until Stroman gets back (and hopefully doesn’t suck), Drew Smyly going to the bullpen, trying to get Seiya Suzuki right, and extending Cody Bellinger. Plus there’s some extended talk about some diaper commercial.

      • Dreamcast 68: Making It Worthwhile
        Glad the Cubs didn’t blow it in the ninth, but they probably should figure out how to find a better lefty reliever.
        Anyway, RC & Berselius hang out to discuss the happenings around the Trade Deadline now that it’s over, including what the Cubs did. We also hope for a quick fix for Marcus Stroman and Seiya Suzuki while also considering how the new rules and the fun injected into the game has benefitted the league in terms of attendance, plus how we watch games and the new Marquee streaming package.

      • Dreamcast 67: The Gigantic Rant
        RC, AC, and berselius may have ranted the Cubs into a shocking comeback…or not, it could go either way. Topics include whether to buy, sell, or stand pat, trading the farm for a certain uberstar, and more.
        You can probably note the difference between when I take the time to edit the crap out of the podcast and when I just say “fuck it” and post.

      • Dreamcast 66: All-Star Edition
        After the Draft, RC, Berselius, & BVS hang out to talk about the Cubs strategy, the All-Star festivities and what we liked versus what they need to change, and the usual stuff about whether this team is good enough to avoid a sell-off and make a pleasantly surprising postseason run.

      • Dreamcast 65: Jet Lag
        Rice and Berselius hang out to basically kill half an hour talking about the Cubs, Trey Mancini’s shitty defense, some stuff about wildfires and the CBA, and wish everyone a fun Fourth of July as we prepare for the All-Star break and the trade deadline.
