I don't want a Playoff spot , I want the Division title. Lets get this game and take 3 of 4 against the Cards. Good show guys.

Go Cubs!

Think about the pitching staff with Assad, Wicks, Brown, Merriweather, Alzolay, and Killian back. CATCHER NEEDED!

Great synopsis on the game and how the team is now performing

I hope Cody isn't hurt for very long. Go Cubs Go!

I really expected Little to give up a three run bomb, as has happened so often in this season. Maybe divine intervention in the form of a rain delay saved this team again.

Busch!!

Just not sold on Morel. Would not be sad to see him go.

Thanks for the show guys! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️ ✌️ 💙 🐻

I agree with everything you said Mick about breaking this team up. I would be more worried about salary dumping than getting something back for these guys. Jed has put this organization in a very bad position. I don't think Jed is going to be able to dig himself out of this hole. This team needs someone new to undo this mess.

If they somehow start trading prospects, I’m going to get really sad.

when are you guys going to do another watch party?

Great defense, great pitching, completely different approach to hitting and attacking the pitchers.

I'm conflicted: On one hand I want the Cubs o win, win, win, on the other hand I was ready for them to sell, get away from some big salaries, and give some prospects a chance to prove themselves. Do the Cubs turn it on and OFF at will? Then what gives? Among Hodge, Bigge, and Keegan Thompson, I think the Cubs might have a diamond in the bullpen-a dominant closer.

I wanted a Sale last season. If they go 2 of 3 against the Cardinals and Brewers and win against Arizona and KC (as they should), then people will say the Cubs are the hottest team in baseball. Even if the Cubs make a few trades to get a couple of studs, they still don't look like a World Series to me.

I'm not pushing the sell button yet. I guess you can say I'm sipping the Kool-aid. Black cherry was always my favorite.

HEY HEY SALE SALE SALE

Cubs have now won more games against teams above .500 than anyone in the league.

Mick is 100% right, and just making a playoff appearance is not good enough, and this team is not good enough

Glad to see the recent success but not drinking the Kool-aid. I think the Cubs team we see might be a team on their best behavior because 1) they are going up against one of the best teams in the MLB and they know it and 2) they all know that any and all of them could be crossing the auction block at the trade deadline and they're all playing for their lives to try to stay in baseball and hopefully be paid for it. We didn't see this sense of urgency over the last 2ish months and for me its too little too late at this point. Sell, Trade, Draft, dig up Monty Hall and play Lets Make a Deal.

Nico is at a 248 ba, mick

I think someone that can make big decisions said if you don’t start taking this seriously you will be out of a job but not the people that should be doing it

If Bellinger is put on the IL will any team really want him? Asking for a CUBS fan who really would love to keep him.

Now sweep Orioles!

SELL HIGH

Mick, I don’t think they’re playing with a sense of urgency, because this is the same hustle I’ve seen all season. I’ve read comments about this team not having any heart and I completely disagree. They’re playing with the same heart and aggressiveness that they’ve had all season long, but, now, it’s finally turning into wins. It’s the same hustle that Nick Madrigal got thrown out at home and got beaten up for in here unmercifully….Willie Harris, too. Willie Harris is just as aggressive as Don Zimmer was when he was the third base coach in 1984 and when he was manager, too. You try to do the same on a reattached hamstring, like he has, and have better results. I have to believe that anytime a new boss is hired, there’s always going to be a period of adjustment and not just limited to spring training either. What I’m seeing is a manager who wants his players to hold themselves accountable and also know how to manufacture runs, which includes base stealing, which they’ve done a lot more of lately, and not slug their way through. This is a totally different mindset than when David Ross managed. I’m just happy to see them playing better right now, and playing better can build a little more confidence, especially having everyone back and healthy…particularly Mike Tauchman……he’s been missed. Keep in mind just how many injuries flared up during that two month slump….pitching and offense. If the list of injuries wasn’t so long, they wouldn’t have had to use Jose Cuas at all and Hector Neris wouldn’t have had to be thrown into the closer role. When players get hurt, rosters have to get shifted around and in the Cubs case this year, their roster got shifted around a lot. Now, it looks like things are finally settling down. Every day, it seemed, there was a new injury…that had to be frustrating and demoralizing. But, now, hopefully, the team will have almost everyone back and healthy by the end of the month. I’m really looking forward to having Mike Tauchman back and if Cody Bellinger gets put on the IL, they may have to rush Tauchman back, or bring up Owen Caissie…..but, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I don’t think the Cubs are going to push the button on Caissie’s major league service time anytime soon. If the Cubs can avoid any more setbacks from injuries, this will be a fun team to watch for the next two and a half months. Will they claim a wild card spot…who knows….but, if they keep this team intact, it won’t be due to not having a heart…that’s for sure.

Season is still toast

Shotime mike

Sad thing is,they'd be dangerous if they made the playoffs,they have starting pitching,unfortunately there relief pitching an not timely hitting,a dream that won't happen

Cubs fans: "Let's just trade everyone for a bunch of unproven prospects and start another rebuild that may take years" Seriously

Ant. Don't be fooled by a spurt of it coming together you will regret it later!!! This team is not it and the Cubs need to Sell and build a team that will go out of the gate!!!! We have a few to build around but Hoyer is not the man to do it! Fire Hoyer!

They need to sell and buy. The Marlins may trade left hand closer Tanner Scott. He has a 1.42 ERA. They also may trade Jazz Chisholm Jr. He can replace Cody. They can also try to get Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. Jed needs to find better hitters and find new coaching staff.

Councell in my opinion is not a good coach.

The Phillies are the best team in baseball, not the Orioles

We need to trade happ now that he’s hot get a decent return, and Bellinger, Nico need to get traded also
