  491. Ol' Poutine Pants - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

  Sep 1, 20261h 14m

  The Cubs are tusslin' with the Brewers over the next week and a half, and it's going to take a miracle run for the division race to tighten. The guys discuss position players pitching, Why BJ Murray Jr. makes no sense as a name, how good Clay Holmes is, and who the most egregious picks to the Cubs All 150 team were. They also discuss a promotion at the Korner Tap in Cascade, Iowa that you haven't heard of, and Andy tells one of his favorite jokes. All that, and more.

  490. Better put Nico in bubblewrap - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

  Aug 19, 20261h 45m

  Andy and Praz look at what would happen if Nico needed a day off from shortstop and the options are bleak, so he pretty much needs to soldier through until Dansby is back. They also try to figure out what pitchers are really coming back and who gets bounced when Daniel Palencia is activated this weekend (sorry, Caleb). They look back at two great games against the White Sox, and how their hangover from the parties to celebrate keeping the BP/Wintrust/Infotapes.com Cup caused them to be just too hungover to hit Jose Urquidy on Wednesday. Plus, a look at head to Michael Busch's favorite road trip of the year, and more.

  Aug 4, 20261h 38m

  Jed went out and bolstered the Cubs for the playoff race and the Cubs have knocked the Dodgers around in the first two games of their series. Are the Cbus a real World Series contender? Oleg and Praz join the Cubs Podcast to discuss all the moves, why the Cubs traded Moises Ballesteros, where Ian Happ is spending his nights against lefty pitchers, and whether or not the Cubs have closed the gap towards the top of the National League.

  488. RECRAP - Trade Deadline Recap - Pointless Exercise Podcast

  Aug 3, 202640 min

  The Cubs were very active at the trade deadline, so how about a little instant reaction to all the new Cubs and the ones who got away. We're only going to miss one of them. Will Clay Holmes and Kevin Gausman lead the way to the World Series? (Heh). And, how one blogger got it all hilariously wrong on Monday.

  487. Trade Deadline Preview - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

  Jul 21, 20261h 38m

  The guys discuss the players the Cubs should go after and then hold their noses and try to figure out who Jed Hoyer actually will try to acquire. Will Tarik Skubal get better offers than Joe Ryan? Would Robbie Ray be an upgrade for the Cubs? Will Luke Weaver be the best reliever traded at the deadline? How about trading for a guy with a broken leg? Will the Cubs add a righthanded bat or are they still waiting for the great Tyler Austin? All that, and more.
