With the Cubs scuffling again, we talk about happenings around MLB, the excellent run for Marcus Stroman and annoying trade rumors, assessing the performances of certain hitters and relievers, and holding out hope that the plan they sold Dansby Swanson isn't just window dressing.

Rice and Berselius hang out during yet another Cubs broadcast to talk about the somewhat disappointing month of May as the team tries to find an identity and reward our faith. We also philosophize about sample size, rules changes, and whether David Ross is in over his head.

Rice and Berselius hang out while watching one of the games the Cubs lost to the Astros but do so without disseminating too much without the express written consent of Major League Baseball. Topics tonight include:

• What's up with the Aaron Judge "scandal"?

Perhaps by the next week we do this, the Cubs will have figured some of this stuff out, thank goodness for off days!

As the Chicago Cubs decide whether they want to win another game this season, Rice and the Obstructed View gang talk about the impressive debuts of Matt Mervis and Miguel Amaya, the missed opportunities in the early season to bank some extra wins, and the outlook of this team as they build for the present and the future. There is still plenty of season left so here's hoping for a better outcome than merely .500!

Rice and the guys from Obstructed View discuss the 2023 Cubs outlook on the eve of Opening Day (which at this point is Opening Day given how long it took to edit tonight) with some thoughts on the way the new rules worked in Cactus League play, the strengths of the team and how to squeeze out some extra wins, and our reaction to the Nico Hoerner extension and the lack of one for Ian Happ.

Rice welcomes esteemed fellow denizens of the Cubs online community Greg Huss and Greg Zumach of North Side Bound to the Dreamcast. They also have a (probably much more popular) podcast of their own, Cubs On Deck, that you can also listen to. 

Rice and the Gregs talk about the improved Cubs farm system, our hopes and dreams for the next wave(s) of prospects, some 2023 MLB Draft thoughts and intriguing players that might be available to the Cubs, and our takes on the new rules coming into effect this season.

Rice Cube and fellow jabronis of Obstructed View BVS and Berselius hold vigil on the Cubs' sneaky good offseason while pondering how this club fares in 2023. Topics include how the Cubs intend to use Trey Mancini and Eric Hosmer, the hope we hold in the revamped defense, some prospects we would like to see called up this season, and some bits from the first Cubs Convention in years.

Rice and the jabronis of Obstructed View are back to wish you a merry holiday season and to spread irrational hope that this team will actually be watchable in 2023. Topics include Adam's many very good questions that nobody really has a good answer to, the Carlos Correa drama and that crazy rich bastard Steve Cohen making every other MLB owner clench, and a last minute wish list for Santa Claus to bring to the Cubs.

Rice Cube and Twitter buddy Tyler (@RunningFlannel) attempt to figure out what the hell just happened with the Cubs not signing any of the marquee free agents so far, and what kinds of plans can be made to at least salvage a competitive team in 2023 and beyond given this seeming stinginess. You can of course find us (and please rate and review) on Apple Podcasts, and our new blog home is with our friends at Obstructed View. 

Rice and Berselius talk about the postseason that was, and fantasize about all the free agent signings the Cubs will make...or they won't, it could go either way.
