“Great podcast! Friendly vibe. The reason I am not into podcasts much is that the people on them seem so obsessed with hearing themselves talk or they try too hard to be funny. Not this one - it’s chill and like hanging with friends discussing my favorite obsession - the Cubs!”

“The previous iteration of this podcast with Kap and Gordon was solid. This new version, however, is a challenging listen. For example, nearly every time a rival team has signed a player during this off season, this group spends 45 minutes wondering aloud “why the Cubs didn’t do that deal” for...”Read full review »

“I listen for another opinion on the Cubs. I like it much better when Leila isn’t on. I find her negative, self-deprecating, and with few actual helpful opinions.”

“Can Peter start a sentence with saying “Yeah I mean…” followed my a barrage of more “I mean”? 35 times on 10-11 cast. Then we have Nate with his constant “honestly” and “obviously”. Why am I still even listening? Painful.”

“Exceptionally mid takes, seems like they spend more time plugging affiliate shows than actually watching games or analyzing play.
Edit: significantly less mid as of late, up to 4 stars”

If Millennials reading advanced statistics and giving hot takes is your thing, then you’ll like this podcast. If you want actual substance from writers and others with insider access to the...”Read full review »

We are in the heart of the baseball season approaching the trade deadline and NOTHING!!!! James, Leila and Nate thank you for absolutely abandoning this...”Read full review »

“Umps are sending a message to Suzuki by calling balls as strikes?!? Baseball has rules and Suzuki has a good eye. Umps do not get to send messages, that’s not part of the game. Worst comment ever.”

“I have listened to this podcast for many years, really enjoyed Kap and Gordon’s personalities and their views were generally well thought out and relatable to the common fan. Tim was definitely growing into a solid contributor too. Sad NBC decided to cut these guys out. Will follow them through...”Read full review »

No insight. Not even up to date news. Their show prep is pulling opinions out of their nether regions.
Save your time. Too many other worthwhile Cubs podcasts out...”Read full review »

“I used to look forward to this each week with Kap and Gordon and Tim. Seems boring now and they aren’t as knowledgeable nor do they seem to be die hard cubs or baseball fans. I enjoyed listening to people who have honest opinions and didn’t just tow the company line.”

“After Kap and crew left I really wanted to give this new team a chance, but after hearing Leila repeatedly suggest having Bellinger “slide over” to CF, I have lost all hope.
Belli hasn’t played anywhere but CF. If you can’t even keep our outfielders positions straight, why am I listening?”

“With the recent changes to the Cast this podcast has lost me. These “Company Men/ Woman” are just boring to listen to. At least Gordon/Kap/Tim spoke their mind and truth and the opinion normally mirrored that of the fans. Listen to the Company PR people spew sunshine and roses is just boring.”

Also, less of Kaplan adding...”Read full review »

“This podcast needs to get rid of the negativity from self proclaimed Cubs expert Gordon Wittenmyer.
I stopped listening in earl May 2022
I’ve had enough
No wonder he was let go by the Sun Times after 13 years
Time for Comcast to do the same
Show him the door”

Started following Gordon when he popped up on mornings on the Score. Didn’t always agree with his takes, but respected his points. Initially was taken...”Read full review »
