Spring is just around the corner so it's time to bring in David Brown to talk about the Cubs and Alex Bregman, owners disingenuity about free agency, going to Japan, fun with the automated ball and strike appeal system, the evil Dodgers, Rob Manfred's reign after 10 years, the pitch clock, pitcher injuries and much, much more.

382. Oleg's tales from Spring Training - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:38:24

1 day ago1:38:24

1:38:24

Oleg is back from a whirlwind trip to Cubs spring training, Innings Festival and his first look at Toilet Flapper Field and he has stories to tell. Praz tries to guess who Gary Clark Jr's favorite Cub is, and Andy is relieved that Petecrow's leg is in one piece and that Matt Shaw's batting stance seems to be in working order. They discuss Cole Wright's play by play efforts, a juicy rumor about Boog and Japan and celebrate the return of everybody's favorite Cubs legend, Yency Almonte. Plus, for some reason they briefly talk about the upcoming F1 season, Nico Hoerner's token IL visit and fall down a Damon Buford sized hole remembering some crap about the 2000 Cubs team that went to Japan. All that, and more.…

382. Hope and Sammy spring eternal - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:17:01

6 days ago1:17:01

1:17:01

Spring Training is in full swing and enough of it has passed that Sammy Sosa showed up, so Tom Loxas is here to talk about it. Sammy's there passing along his wisdom to the young players ("Don't take $80,000 to a hotel lobby in a towel") and a guy only slightly younger than him is taking grounders at third base. But Matt Shaw is nearing his return while Nico Hoerner has already been ruled out of the games in Japan. Marquee got some expected bad news from Comcast, and their right-wing broadcast partner is trying to sue them to get out of their deal, how will this impact the Cubs cash flow? Meanwhile, ESPN and MLB have broken up, which means this is the last year of Sunday Night Baseball. Thank God. The guys also talk about the SNL 50th special and underrated cast members. And they finish up talking Bears free agency and the always exciting NFL Combine. All that and more.…

381. New tech, new numbers, new third basemen, new beards - Pointless Exercise Baseball Podcast 1:20:35

8 days ago1:20:35

1:20:35

Thankfully ABS stands for Automated Balls and Strikes and not what Andy thought it did. David Brown joins the podcast to talk about the early days of testing the system and if there's a chance it could come to a big league ballpark near you this year. They also discuss bearded Yankees, the passing of Andy's pretend grandfather, how Justin Ishbia bailing on the Twins to buy more Sox shares will impact the AL Central, but also how it might force the Cubs to actually spend real money. They also chat about Petecrow's number change, where the middle class of baseball players has gone and why Anthony Rizzo is screwed and the Cubs relying on Matt Shaw at third base. All that and more.…

380. Can these Cubs keep getting better? - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:11:33

13 days ago1:11:33

1:11:33

The Cubs are banking on some marked improvements from some of their young players (and Michael Busch) but how realistic is that? Justin Turner's contract terms show the Cubs will spare no length to save a buck. A deep dive into the psychology that makes the Garbage Family That Owns The Cubs™ the way that they are--the kids at least. Is the local blog media finally catching on to the fact that the Cubs don't really know what they're doing? Should the Cubs trade for Vlad Guerrero Jr.? Of course, but the Jays aren't going to trade him. ESPN and MLB sever their relationship while it's discussed on this very podcast. Plus, why the Bears don't have to worry about raising their ticket prices. All that, and more.…

379. Justin Time - Pointless Exercise Baseball Podcast 1:25:46

15 days ago1:25:46

1:25:46

The Cubs have a new right handed hitter and the guys try to not confuse Justin Turner with NFL massage enthusiast Justin Tucker, and they remember the time Justin Turner tried to kill everybody during the Dodgers 2020 World Series celebration. Oleg, Praz and Andy discuss whether Jed was being passive aggressive in thanking Tom and the rest of The Garbage Family That Owns The Cubs™ for giving him almost enough money to sign Alex Bregman, the national media being tired of the Cubs being so cheap, what Turner's role should be with his new team, how the bench is shaping up, who's going to pitch opening day in Japan and why Bruce Levine keeps making Craig Counsell's press conferences so weird. They also discuss if Nolan Arenado makes any sense for the Cubs and if the Cardinals would even trade him to them if they wanted him. All that and more.…

378. All-time Cubs Right Fielders - Remember This Crap 2:30:51

18 days ago2:30:51

2:30:51

The longest running half-assed historical podcast on the Cubs (probably) is back, and this time Andy and Huey are taking a look at the long, distinguished history of Cubs' right fielders. And we don't just mean Nate Schierholtz. Who were the best ever? Who were the worst? The Cubs have a storied history at the position dating back to a Hall of Famer who played in the '80s. The 1880s. Check it out.…

377. Brother can you spare $40 million? - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:09:01

20 days ago1:09:01

1:09:01

Alex Bregman took the higher offer and picked the Red Sox over the Cubs. Tom Loxas is on hand to discuss whether that's a blessing in disguise for the Cubs, and the guys try to figure out why Jed was thanking the Omaha Hillbillies for letting him make an offer but also seemingly decrying the fact he couldn't go even higher. They discuss if the Cubs have another move in them, especially for a pitcher. And then it's uniform talk! All that and more.…

376. So many questions as baseball begins again -- Pointless Exercise Baseball Podcast 1:24:35

22 days ago1:24:35

1:24:35

Is Alex Bregman worth signing even in the short term? Would it even make sense if the Cubs signed him and traded Nico Hoerner to save a few bucks? Who was a bigger prick, Jim Edmonds, Curt Schilling or Troy Glaus? The answer of course is Trevor Bauer. Does Shohei count as a pitcher on the Dodgers' roster? Why would anybody trade for Nolan Arenado and not have him play third? Does Justin Turner have anything left...and we don't only mean hair. Does Jed really think he can't talk about free agents? Why did the Cardinals fall apart and why is it so fun to watch? David Brown is here to answer all these questions, hear the best Charles Barkley story and more.…

375. Shocking death of 102 year old, Cubs new TV dope, Super Bowl Props and more -- Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:11:33

27 days ago1:11:33

1:11:33

When a 102-year-old matriarch of an NFL team dies you have to do an emergency podcast to help people through their shock. Or maybe you just do a regularly scheduled solo pod to talk about that, the Cubs still kind of pursuing Alex Bregman, their commitment to mediocre TV announcers, Super Bowl props, the Bulls staggering in place and more.…

374. So long, Tiny - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:21:54

4 weeks ago1:21:54

1:21:54

There's plenty of Cubs intrigue to talk about with the team apparently involved in trade discussions with the Padres for a top of the rotation starter and/or a closer, so Praz and Oleg are on hand to discuss it all. But it's a podcast done with heavy hearts as the guys have to bid adieu to the great Nick Madrigal. How will they ever cope? They also discuss how much PECOTA likes the Cubs, and then take some odd detours. Check it out.…

373. Shopping for old friends - Pointless Exercise Podcast 1:08:17

5 weeks ago1:08:17

1:08:17

The Cubs roster might smell like it's pretty well done (or it might smell like something you have to bag up at the dog park), but they are still being linked to a number of moves, including a trade for a former hot shot prospect of their own and a very old reliever that they had just a couple of years ago. Tom Loxas is on hand to discuss whether the Cubs are really serious about trading for Dylan Case (or his rotation mate Michael King), or signing David Robertson. Plus, the Alex Bregman thing still won't go away. Andy complains about the Cubs bench, which turns into a discussion about the best pinch hitters in Cubs history. Then they break down the Bears' new coordinators, and talk about how one expert thinks the offensive line rebuild is not as complicated as we might all think. All that, and much more.…

6 weeks ago1:35:46

1:35:46

In a wide-ranging discussion, Kelly Dwyer and I discuss an inexpensive way to get ice off your driveway, why the Bulls aren't bright enough to have a lottery pick next year, why Arturas doesn't like to fill out trade paperwork, if Lonzo Ball will get a cadaver surgery named after him, Barron Hilton, Randal Grichuk, who was going to play Diane on Cheers before Shelly Long, how Woody Harrelson is involved in the two most gruesome bowling injuries in movie/TV history, why Bon Jovi's drummer wore a South Beloit football jersey in a video, Ted Danson and Macauley Culkin's cinematic masterpiece, Eddie Bird's "house", basketball shoes we wore in high school, my terror of playing third base at NIU, John Wooden's high school coaching days, Paul Goldschmidt's terrible decision to play for the Yankees and much, much more.…

6 weeks ago1:35:05

1:35:05

The Cubs Convention came and went and Praz got to rub elbows with famous Cubs. The guys talk about the weekend, try to make sense of Tom Ricketts financial theories and tell you why you shouldn't be mad at the Dodgers, especially since the Cubs could do all of that if they actually wanted to. They discuss Matt Shaw's readiness at third, Nico's totally real injury and why it's a good thing baseball players wear hats. Then, they discuss the Bears' hiring of Ben Johnson and why comparing it to Matt Nagy or Matt Eberflus (or any of that Matts, really) is lazy and dumb. All that and more.…
