    Intelligent Cubs discussion. Perfect

    This podcast needs an editor
    As a dyed in the wool Cubs fan and a podcast obsessive, I was excited to see that BP Wrigleyville was starting its own podcast. Initially it was a must-listen podcast, and then it turned into a "I'll get around to it when I can" podcast, and now it's a "delete after 45 minutes podcast." They have had good interviews with people who are interesting- Sarah Spain and Julie DiCarro- but man, the longer this podcast goes on, the more I'm finding myself just irritated by the regular group of contributors- although Carlos seems like he's alright. After thinking about it, I've decided that this podcast is just too long. The gimmick segments are usually way too long and drawn out. 60 seconds with a former Cub went from interesting to stupid when they decided to make it a sophomoric comedy bit. They seem to feel the need to fill space with dumb "hot take" discussions that I don't find in line with of the work associated with Baseball Prospectus ("Who would the Cubs miss the most if they got hurt?" Kris Bryant! Thanks for the insight, dudes! "What would you tell the meatball Cubs fan not to freak out about?" Guh.) Instead of finding small sample-size stats to freak out about ("Addison Russell was 0-4 today, OMG!"), maybe work on developing a concise 30-45 minute podcast that actually does what you say you're going to do- look at the Cubs through the lens of fans and analytics. Right now it's just a boring mish-mash of neither and it just goes on waaayy too long. It really just makes me wish Limited Range would be more active.

    An Intelligent Cubs Podcast
    This podcast is quickly becoming very good. It’s not perfect, but I think that each episode has been a little bit better than the last. There are occasional issues with the audio not being perfect, but the crew provides some very nice insight about the Cubs. The weekly segments are pretty interesting and the crew does a great job of keeping things light and entertaining without ever getting too off-topic. This is a really good podcast already, and I can tell that it’s going to be great in the future.

  • SB Cubs

    Cubs Chat for the Discerning Fan
    Great Cubs roundtable with more meaty substance packed into every hour than you'll find in an hour of vacuous sports talk radio. Also I seriously laugh out loud every time. Keep it up, gents.
  • josephsTweeter
    👍🏼
    Great application of sabers mixed with engaging conversation. Wonderful, clean format.
  • winked
    Best sport’s podcast…ever
    Hungry for Cub’s talk with little to no straying off topic? This is your show. No dumb, inside jokes, no Star Wars trivia, just Cub’s talk, and it’s tremendous. Where have you been my whole life. Keep up the good work, boys.
  • Tshywe
    Amazing!!
    Really great Cubs Podcast with in depth information. Every Cubs fan should listen. Incredible job gentlemen!
  • ndsandberg23
    Good stuff boys
    A must-listen for Cubs fans. All of the guys know what they're talking about and bring differing viewpoints to the table. But for the love of all that is holy, please fix Ryan's audio
  • JeffAlbertson89
    Pretty good!
    These guys clearly know what they're talking about. The conversation is smooth, they respect dissenting opinions, and they come off as smart without being know-it-all's. If you like the Cubs, it's a must listen!
