Every team chased the same edge. Now they’ve all found it — and the edge is gone. Years ago Ben Lindbergh saw where this was headed. I re-aired Episode 37 from 2023 with a new intro, because the league still hasn’t solved it. New CubsPS+ 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ben Brown’s last 10 outings (8 relief, 2 starts): - 23 innings - 11 hits - 3 runs / 1 earned run - 6 walks - 23 strikeouts His growth this year has been exciting to watch. He’s been a sneaky key piece for the Cubs - first helping settle the pen and now deepening the rotation.

NEW EPISODE: The Cubs are alone atop the NL Central and keep passing every test. I dig into the offense, the depth, the pitching concerns and why this team feels different. Are you ready? I’m ready. HERE! WE! GO! #Cubs #CubsPSPlus podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ian Happ over the last four seasons: 119 wRC+ 13.3 WAR 86 HR That’s clearly a good player. Yet he might be the most controversial Cub. I tried to figure out why in CubsPS+ Episode 115. 🎧 Ian Happ: The Most Confounding Cub 🔗 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Cubs clinched after a season everyone swore was over many times. No epic streaks, just steady chaos. Clinched in Pittsburgh (as usual). I went live with @cody__cubs while the team partied. Even Counsell cracked a smile. 🍾 CubsPS+ Ep.113 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ryno wasn’t just a Hall of Famer, he was my guy. In Ep 111, I reflect on what #RyneSandberg meant to me as a kid, a coach and a dad. From backyard grounders to Cooperstown, his impact is everywhere. His legacy lives on. #bleacherbunch #Cubs #CubsPSPlus podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Ryno was my guy. I started watching the Cubs his rookie year and was 10 when he broke out and became MVP. My best friend and I always said in HS that we’d go to his inauguration someday…and we did. Thanks for a lifetime of memories, Ryno. RIP to the GOAT.

Pete Crow-Armstrong isn’t just fast, he’s warping time & space in center field. 
Episode 110 is a love letter to PCA, swagger & every Cub who ever gave us goosebumps.

Is this evidence of time travel? Glitch in the matrix? Looks like Pac-Man was created by teenagers playing whiffle ball with a pickleball.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives the Rockies a 9th consecutive loss They’re now 4-0 this season when coming in with an 8-game losing streak

Cubs are surviving a brutal April. The bullpen’s under fire. I dug into the blown saves, the numbers behind the panic and why this isn’t 2024 all over again (yet). Plus: Happy Lee Elia Day! #Cubs #BleacherBunch #CubsPSPlus @bleacherbunch.bsky.social 🎙️⚾️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
