In the third hour, Matt Spiegel was joined by Score baseball insider Bruce Levine to discuss the latest Cubs and White Sox storylines and the expanded MLB playoff format. Spiegel then discussed the White Sox's decision to keep second baseman Nick Madrigal off the Opening Day roster. After that, Christopher Kamka of NBC Sports Chicago joined the show to discuss becoming a father and to share some absurd stats from the return of baseball. With an extra 10 minutes before the Cubs-Brewers pregame started, Spiegel later discussed the Cubs' hope to welcome fans back into Wrigley Field around Sept. 1, hearing sound from president of business operations Crane Kenney on the plan.
