The guys are Kyle-less for this one, but Andy and Sam soldier on and try to make sense of winning three games in three days against the Cardinals and somehow losing two. They discuss if Javy has forgotten right field exists, wonder if the Cubs have installed a sign-up calendar for slumps so they don’t overlap and bemoan yet another season where the team tries to get Kris Bryant to play through an injury that would likely just heal if they’d let it. Andy pitches his ideas to improve Marquee’s graphics (again), they wonder if perhaps Taylor McGregor has an outstanding warrant in Missouri. They throw cold water on the Sox series because a) it’s not a rivalry and never will be, and b) both teams are going to make the playoffs no matter what happens in any of these games. They also list all the things Eloy can’t do, and it’s long. And just when they think they’re done, they bring up Adbert and why the hell he’s been wasting away in South Bend, and then, is Craig Kimbrel…good again?
