Rain Delay Theater

Jack and Jeremy kick off the 2024 season with graphing the Rockies at Wrigley Field on a cold and rainy night. How will this affect a normally good-signing team like Colorado? Will Jack get redemption with Bud Black? Will the guys be greeted by any friendly returning Cubs security staff? Will any weirdos show up on a freezing Tuesday night? Tune in to find out!

Coming on the heels of Sammy Sosa's return to Chicago after 17 years, at a local card show, the guys get together to discuss who are the faces of some MLB franchises...with a Rain Delay twist. Which face embodies what it means to be a "Brewer"? Who is the most "Met"? Will the White Sox even have a player as the face of their franchise? Tune in to find out. Also, catch Jack's rundown of the NCAA tournament. (Please note: this episode was recorded before the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal...more on that next week!).

Jeremy might've gotten half of these guys at Spring Training already, but the RDT boys run down the list of notable non-roster invitees as part of their annual tradition this week. What crazy list of retreads are in White Sox camp this year? Where is Keston Hiura resurface? And which player in camp for the Yankees makes Jeremy reference (possibly for a 2nd time on the podcast?) a weird/bad John Ritter movie from the early 90s? Tune in this week to find out!

We are back with a full recap of Jeremy’s four day Spring Training visit! Jeremy visits the Guardians, Mariners, Rangers, White Sox, and Cubs and has tales from all stops! Listen in to hear which big leaguer fully roasts Jeremy, find out who Fergie is on his way to see before he can stop to sign, and tune in to see which future HOF manager Jeremy slightly pisses off! The guys also talk about the Cubs signing of Cody Bellinger.

Jeremy check's in before his Spring Training trip!

It's that time of year again when Jack and Jeremy remind everyone of bad players who retired 5 year ago - it's the 2024 Worst of Fame episode! Who will join Rickie Weeks and Bill Ripken on this year's ballot? And will anyone get in? Bill Ripken is on his final year of eligibility - will this have any effect on the voting? Tune in to hear it all - including an absurd tale of Bud Selig's movers! Also, after the vote, the guys touch on a big of Chicago baseball news that seems to have gone highly under reported in the city.

And here is the conclusion of our supersized Cubs Con 2024 recap! We meet more weirdos in line, Jack and Jeremy spend a majority of the day separated, Manny Trillo takes his time, Jack goes inside basketball with Tim Stoddard, and Jeremy has another awkward interaction with Miguel Montero. Lots more stuff covered in these two marathon days, so check it out!

Jack and Jeremy are here this week for the BIIIIIG 2024 Cubs Convention recap! There's so much to cover that the guys had to split this one up into two episodes. In part one, the guys talk about Friday at the convention, Tom Ricketts' opening remarks, breaking the seal with some autographs, and meeting some new weirdos this year (The Peoria Mope, to name one) and some grapher regulars. Tune in for all the highlights from night one and stay tuned early next week for Part Two, covering Saturday and Sunday!

Jack and Jeremy process the signing of Shota Imanaga and the release of the Cubs Convention attendees and autograph schedule in real time this week. Jack is going to wing it with a snow storm incoming and Jeremy is prepared for a grueling weekend.

In the wake of the historic Shohei Ohtani signing, Jack and Jeremy look back at some bad Cubs and Brewers free agent signings and offer their unique insight as to why they were so bad. Players hurt in this episode include Todd Hundley, Matt Garza, and Chad Fox (yuck!).
