Onto Waveland: A show about the Chicago Cubs

Outscored 27-4 by the Twins in a pair of losses over the weekend, what are we to make of this Cubs team? Brett and Patrick try to figure that out. Will the Astros be the next team for the Cubs to help get on track after a shaky start? They also talk about Kyle Hendricks and what fans should expect as he makes his way back.

If you're going to drop two out of three, it's always better to win the third game. Especially heading into an off day. Brett, Sahadev and Patrick discuss a tough week of baseball but take solace in the Cardinals having a bad pitching staff. The guys also share their appreciation for Willson Contreras embracing the villain role with the Cards.

The Cardinals are a mess and they're moving Willson Contreras to Designated Hitter as they visit Wrigley Field for the first time in 2023. It should be a wild week and Brett, Patrick and Sahadev get you ready. They'll also look back on the club's series win over the Marlins.

Brett and Sahadev recorded this episode hours before Matt Mervis' promotion to the big leagues. That doesn't take away from Brett's opening rant on the state of the club's DH position and failures offensively against the Nationals this week. Can the Cubs right the ship offensively and snap out of their recent slide?

Yes, the Cubs lost three one-run games to the Marlins to finish April. But, they still finished the month with a 14-13 record including some big wins along the way. Brett, Patrick and Sahadev take a look back at the weekend and a bigger picture view of the season's first month. A month that easily could have resulted in 17 or 18 wins.

Brett and Sahadev battle through a major coffee spill to bring you this episode of Onto Waveland. They dive into the club's series win over the Cubs and some impressive pitching performances. Justin Steele continues to look like a top starter and Hayden Wesneski took a big step forward. That and much more on a caffeinated edition.

Yes, the Cubs lost three of four to the Dodgers at Wrigley, but positives can be taken from the series. The Cubs have beaten Julio Urías twice in April which is an accomplishment. Brett, Sahadev and Patrick discuss that but also explain why we may be starting to see some cracks in the Cubs bullpen and why the next few weeks will tell us a lot about how the 2023 season could play out. Also, can Michael Fulmer be turned around after a tough stretch?

While Sahadev searches for his luggage, Brett and Patrick catch you up on the Cubs. What does the Cubs 5-1 road trip mean for the team's confidence and how does it set the club up for staying in contention into the summer? Also, are fans starting to jump back on the bandwagon early in the season? The guys also look ahead to the Dodgers visit to Wrigley for a 4-game set and ponder whether Jed would consider trading for Shohei Ohtani in July.

The Cubs took two of three from the Dodgers in Los Angeles this weekend. Brett, Sahadev and Patrick discuss how much we should take from the series. The starting pitching continues to be strong. Is Patrick Wisdom a different, better player or is this just a hot streak?

After famously failing to sign core players to extensions in the near past, the Cubs lock up Ian Happ on a 3-year, $61 million deal. The move comes after the Club signed Nico Hoerner to a 3-year deal during Spring Training. Brett, Sahadev and Patrick discuss the timing of the deal and what these deals mean for the organization moving forward? They also get into the great vibes around the team after two weeks of baseball.
