Cubs REKAP Podcast

The #chicagocubs got a jump on the relief market by adding veteran #philmaton on a 2-year deal. #kap is hearing that there is mutual interest in starter #dylancease.  The #cubs need a high end starter and he’d fit the bill. Plus, Kap & Gordon Wittenmyer go deep into an article from The Athletic where #newyorkyankees owner #halsteinbrenner discusses the benefit of a salary cap in #mlb.  So, is...

Kap and Gordon debate whether #shotaimanaga coming back on a one year deal is a good thing or a bad thing for the Cubs. Are the Cubs the new Settlers in town?

In a 'win or go home' Game 5  live from #milwaukee, the #chicagocubs sent opener #drewpomeranz to the mound against opener #trevormegill of the #milwaukeebrewers.  In a tight game throughout, the #brewers rode 3 solo HRs into the 9th inning, as the #cubs managed just a solo shot from #seiyasuzuki.  The Cubs just didn't get enough offense and the Brewers got just what they needed and...

Talk about a response!!  The #chicagocubs needed one in Game 4 to stay alive and they got it.  #ianhapp crushed a 3-run HR in 1st (stop if you've heard this before) and #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th inning as the #cubs force a win or go home, deciding Gm. 5 on Saturday night in #milwaukee.  #kap #guff and Gordon are back for live reaction from an electric #wrigleyfield.  How about big nig...

Nothing is ever easy with this #chicagocubs team.  After taking a 4-1 in the 1st, the #cubs offense was shut down for most of the game as #jamesontaillon and the Cubs bullpen gutted their way through the game in a nail biter to the end.  #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer have LIVE reaction from the #NLDS.  The #brewers left the bases loaded in the 8th and #bradkeller attempted the 4-out save.  Guf...

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 -...

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 #c...

The #chicagocubs and #sandiegopadres went wire to wire the entire series and just like the first two games, Game 3 came down to the end.  The #cubs struck first with a pair of runs and it remained that way until the 7th, when #michaelbusch homered to give the #cubs a 3-0 lead.  #jamesontaillon was nails, tossing 4 shutout innings and the bullpen did the rest.  The #padres didn't get a good st...

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...

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&apos...

The regular season has hit its final week and as #kap and Gordon record the newest podcast, the #chicagocubs haven't won since clinching a #wildcard berth a week ago in Pittsburgh!  That leads the guys to discuss their concerns about the #cubs as the Wild Card series nears.  What's the biggest concern?  Is it #kyletucker and his calf?  #cadehorton had his stiff back?  #pca and his 2nd ha...

The #chicagocubs are knocking on the door of their 1st postseason berth since 2020.  They can clinch a #wildcard spot as early as Tuesday night.  #kap and GW debate the strengths of a #cubs team headed to their first postseason in 5 years.  Prior to that debate, Kap asks whether you can be a fan of a team while covering a team at the same time.  Gordon says 'no', while Kap of course says...

The #chicagocubs announced on Wednesday that former star first baseman, #anthonyrizzo will officially retire on Saturday as a Chicago Cub and immediately become an ambassador.  #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the honor and why this always felt like it was meant to be.  Plus, the duo discuss the rotation, the health of the club, or lack thereof after closer #danielpalencia hit the IL.  Who would...

Kap and Gordon talk about #derreklee and #sammysosa going into the #chicagocubs hall of fame this weekend. They also discuss whether or not #cadehorton should have been pulled after 5 innings with a no-hitter intact.

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.  It leads to a discussion and debate about the things that manager Craig Counsell does well as Jed Hoyer targeted him a year and a half ago to make the highest paid manager in the history of the...

The Chicago Cubs seem like they’re in a downward spiral with an offense that can’t get out of their own way. Kap and Gordon Wittenmyer are here to dissect the Cubs in a post trade deadline era. Speaking of, what are their deadline thoughts?  It should come as no surprise that they’re baffled at the lack of will Jed Hoyer and the front office showed. Kap is beside himself and the Cubs are backing t...

It’s officially trade season in #mlb and the #chicagocubs are ready to make a deal as one of baseball’s best teams. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the latest with the #cubs, why it’s time to pounce, but why other teams are holding things up more than the Cubs themselves. Is the nature of the added #wildcard making more teams believe they have a shot even though realistically they don’t?  Plus,...

The #chicagocubs enter July in 1st place. Coming off of a .500 June where they went 13-13, the #cubs still have a lot of momentum and a lot of buzz as the #mlbtradedeadline awaits at the end of the month. #kap and #guff, who sits in for Gordon Wittenmyer, break down why there shouldn’t be a sense of panic and that the best is yet to come. MLB Network’s Jim Bowden says that the Cubs will ‘win the t...
