⚾️On this Week's Episode:⚾️

The Chicago Cubs maintained their winning ways with some decent home cooking versus the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers at the beautiful and historic Wrigley Field. If the Cubs keeping wining, maybe tickets to Wrigley Field will become harder to get again!

Harry Caray toasts one of the all time 2016 World Series team's great players, Javier Baez, as he finally returned since departing via a trade to the New York Mets in 2021. 

When watching a Cubs game, it has become very hard to ignore the strike zone given to Seiya Suzuki versus other players. Why is Seiya Suzuki's strike zone different than for others? To help answer that question, Matt Trueblood (@MATrueblood) of North Side Baseball and Baseball Prospectus joins us this week to discuss a recent article and deep dive he did to figure out if his zone truly is different and where it is different. The results may surprise you!
