Cubs lose on Opening Day to Nationals BUT EXTEND NICO HOERNER AFTER THE GAME!

Episode 2

Thursday, March 26, 2026 • Duration 36:10

The Chicago Cubs kicked off Opening Day with high hopes, but things didn’t go as planned as they dropped a tough 10-4 loss to the Nationals to start the season. Matthew Boyd mowed down the Nationals lineup for the first time through the order, but fell apart in the 4th inning and the Cubs offense never recovered.

But it’s not all bad news for Cubs fans 👀

In a major breaking news update, the Cubs are reportedly working on an extension for Nico Hoerner — a key piece of their infield and one of the team’s most consistent players. Locking him in long-term would be a huge move for the future of the franchise and a sign that the front office is committed to building a competitive core.

Edward Cabrera dominates in Cubs debut | Jameson Taillon starts in game two

Episode 5

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 • Duration 35:37

Edward Cabrera dazzled in his Cubs debut at Wrigley Field, tossing six dominant innings and allowing just one hit as Chicago cruised to a 7–2 victory. The Cubs evened their record at 2–2 on the young season and will look to build momentum in Game 2 against the Angels, with José Soriano set to take the mound for Los Angeles. Jameson Taillon makes his season debut for Chicago in the matchup.

Around Major League Baseball, Nationals outfielder Joey Wiemer made history by reaching base in his first 10 plate appearances of the season, tying an MLB record last set by Carlos Delgado with the Blue Jays in 2002. Meanwhile, the Brewers continue their aggressive long-term strategy, signing top shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to an eight-year, $50 million extension before he’s played a single inning in the majors.

Chicago Cubs lock up Nico Hoerner through 2032 | Drop the opening series at Wrigley

Episode 4

Monday, March 30, 2026 • Duration 33:30

0:00 Washington Series

18:20 Nico's Numbers

20:25 Jason Heyward

The Chicago Cubs dropped their Opening Series at Wrigley Field, falling 6–3 to the Washington Nationals and losing the three-game set 2–1. While questions remain about the starting rotation and early offensive consistency, there’s no reason to panic—this Cubs team is built to win north of 90 games in 2026.

One thing is already clear: the defense is elite. The infield looked in midseason form, and Pete Crow-Armstrong flashed serious leather in center field throughout the weekend.

We also react to the Cubs locking up Nico Hoerner through the 2032 season, breaking down what the extension means for the long-term core. Plus, we tip the cap to Jason Heyward, who officially retired from MLB—remembering his impact and leadership on the 2016 World Series team.

Finally, we look ahead to tonight’s matchup as the Cubs begin a new series against the Angels, with Edward Cabrera getting the start on the mound.

Is the Chicago Cubs roster depth good enough?

Episode 6

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 31:42

The Cubs fall at home to the Angels, dropping Game 2 by a 2–0 final. José Soriano was dominant on the mound for Los Angeles, while Jameson Taillon turned in a solid first outing of the 2026 season for Chicago. A pair of tough plays from two elite Cubs defenders—Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong—proved costly and led directly to both Angels runs.

Looking ahead to the series finale, Matthew Boyd makes his second start of the season as he goes up against Yusei Kikuchi in an afternoon affair at Wrigley Field. We also take a deeper look at the bench Jed Hoyer has built during his tenure as Cubs president. Is roster depth becoming a real issue for the organization, or is this just the reality every team battles over the course of a long season?

Cade Horton leaves game with right forearm discomfort in Chicago Cubs loss to Guardians

Episode 9

Saturday, April 4, 2026 • Duration 24:34

Chicago Cubs fans got some scary news as Cade Horton exited his start early with right forearm discomfort during a matchup against the Cleveland Guardians.

After throwing just a handful of pitches in the second inning, Horton signaled to the dugout and was pulled immediately—raising serious concerns about his health moving forward. The team has already indicated he’ll undergo further evaluation, and an injured list stint is expected as more details come in.

This is a major development for the Cubs, as Horton was expected to be a key piece of the rotation in 2026. Coming off an impressive rookie campaign where he finished as the NL Rookie of the Year runner-up, his absence could leave a significant gap in the pitching staff.

In this episode, Dan and Cody break down:

What happened during Horton’s outing
Why “forearm discomfort” is especially concerning for pitchers
Potential injury scenarios and timelines
How the Cubs rotation could adjust moving forward
Who might step up in Horton’s absence

With other pitching injuries already impacting the roster, this situation could test the Cubs’ depth early in the season—and potentially shape their playoff hopes.

MAILBAG EPISODE: Chicago Cubs fans ask about Cade Horton, future in outfield, Shota Imanaga and MORE!

Episode 8

Friday, April 3, 2026 • Duration 40:24

In this mailbag episode, Dan, Matt, and Cody dive into your questions submitted on Twitter/X about everything going on with the Cubs right now.

We start with the big issue in right field — how the lineup is holding up without Seiya Suzuki and what options the team really has moving forward. From there, we get into some early concerns about Shota Imanaga and whether there’s any reason to worry about his performance long-term.

We also break down Cade Horton’s workload and what kind of innings limit or “leash” the Cubs might give their young arm this season.

And to wrap things up on a nostalgic note, we share some of our favorite memories from the unforgettable 2016 World Series run — the moments that still give Cubs fans chills.

Thanks to everyone who sent in questions!

Chicago Cubs WIN behind Matthew Boyd's 10 K game

Episode 7

Thursday, April 2, 2026 • Duration 31:19

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6–2 on Wednesday to clinch the series victory, two games to one, before heading out of town. The Cubs will begin a three-game series in Cleveland on Thursday against the Guardians, who sit at 4–3 on the young season.

Matthew Boyd was dominant in his second start of the year, striking out 10 batters and allowing no runs over 5.2 innings pitched. Nico Hoerner led off for manager Craig Counsell and jump-started the offense with a three-hit performance, while Michael Busch and Matt Shaw each added two hits to the Cubs’ offensive output.

After six games, the Cubs now sit at 3–3 and will look to get above .500 for the first time early in the 2026 season.
