Andy and Kyle are on hand to do the first in-season edition of this year’s Cubs podcast. They take a tour around the roster wondering if Javy is ever going to shorten his swing (he’s not), feigning shock at Joc Pederson’s early season struggles, enjoying the renaissance of Kris Bryant and (for now, at least) Jake Arrieta. They try to make a fireable offense out of David Ross using bona fide trade chip Craig Kimbrel for more than one inning, try to figure out what the Cubs could get right now for Rex Brothers and Sam’s not around to defend Dillon Maples. They also take stock of Marquee’s season so far and a look at the competition in the NL Central.
