The #chicagocubs certainly didn't HAVE to win Gm. 2 of the #NLDS against the #milwaukeebrewers, but at the same time, they kind of did. #seiyasuzuki delivered a 3-run HR in the 1st inning, but #shotaimanaga's 1st inning struggles continued, as he allowed a game tying 3-run HR by #andrewvaugh. #williamcontreras added a solo shot and #jacksonchourio hit a dagger off of #danielpalencia - another 3-run HR to put the #brewers up 7-3. The Brewers maneuvered a bullpen game, led by ...
Woof. This one got out of hand very early for the #chicagocubs. The #milwaukeebrewers tagged #matthewboyd in the 1st inning, eventually scoring 6 runs and knocking Boyd from the game. The scoring continued, and by the end of the 2nd inning, the #brewers held a 9-1 lead. #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer break down what went wrong and why, no matter how ugly it was in Gm. 1 of the #NLDS, the #cubs just have to flush this one and move onto Game 2 on Monday night. #taket...
The #chicagocubs had a chance to sweep the #sandiegopadres at #wrigleyfield in the #wildcard series at #wrigleyfield on Wednesday. #dylancease struck out 5 and was yanked in the 4th inning. The #padres bullpen went to work after that. #masonmiller threw 104mph and struck out 5. #mannymachado hit a HR that #kap and #guff are scratching their heads about. The reason? Why did #shotaimanaga face him? Imanaga came in in relief after #andrewkittredge allowed a ru...
The #chicagocubs are in the #wildcard series against the #sandiegopadres and are in the playoffs for the 1st time since 2020. #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th, #seiyasuzuki homered for the 5th straight game and #carsonkelly homered in his 1st postseason game. #nickpivetta was great, striking out 9, and then it got to the bullpens. #kap and #guff are with you for instant reaction and what's next as the Cubs and Padres square off Wednesday in Game 2. #takethat ...

Is it #kyletucker and his calf? #cadehorton had his stiff back? #pca and his 2nd half struggles? All of the above? The pair discuss Cade Horton's impress...

However, Gordon gives the disclaimer that his job is differe...

Kap and Gordon are back as the Chicago Cubs continue their rollercoaster season. The last 3 months, the Cubs have played just a tick above .500 causing frustration throughout the fanbase and this podcast.

Kap doesn't see it. Gordon quite frankly doesn't either. So, i...

#kap & Gordon are back with the latest happenings with the #chicagocubs as the calendar turns to June. Yes, the #cubs have some issues, like most teams, but unlike most teams, the Cubs are 15 games over .500 and one of the best offenses in all of baseball.
