Visiting Dugout Podcast 52 — Chicago Cubs

Chrystal and Jay chat about the upcoming series

It’s time for part one of the Crosstown Classic! Jay Holloway joins the show to talk all things baseball, emphasizing our neighbors to the North, the Cubs. While it seems like all of the Chicago sports teams are awful, we focused on just how bad baseball is for both fanbases while predicting what this two-game series might look like:

• What’s new on the North Side?
• Kyle Hendricks
• Trading high on Cody Bellinger
• Is there a way to compete with the Brewers, or even finish second?
• The Nick Madrigal and Ian Happ of it all
• Everyone is hurt and the owners are terrible — a Chicago tale
• Wrigleyville is just a giant tourist trap
• Pitching matchups
• Threats and keys to winning the series
• The lack of power hitters
• Luis Robert Jr.
• Shohei Ohtani will always be worth the money
• The Yankees are scary
• Juan Soto needs a blank check
• Atlanta is down bad
