Bricks Behind the Ivy candidcubs

After catching Crosstown Cup Euphoria...not, Bricks Behind the Ivy celebrates the end of the School Year with handing the Cubs a report card. Are they hanging this one on the fridge, or are they afraid to show Mom and Dad?

Also, Miguel Esparza, Spanish PBP Announcer for our beloved Cubbies joins us for a special interview. Let’s get a petition going to get Spanish broadcasts for all 162 Cub games!

⚾️On this Week’s Episode:⚾️

Bad luck and lack of hits with runners in scoring position doomed the Cubs to a 1-5 week. With the team a game under .500, what is next?

We made it to another Friday, but with less total offense than we would have liked. A 2-5 home stand prior to the Cardinals and Brewers feels less than ideal, but health is on the way. Right?

Or help? Alex Cohen (@voiceofcohen2), the play-by-play announcer for the Iowa Cubs joins Jeff to talk his story into baseball and thoughts on the pro and AAA team as they head into June.

Welcome back, Brick Heads!

After a 3-3 road trip, the Cubs return home to play...the same 2 teams? Sean and Jeff react to a confusing schedule, announce a bunch of BBTI news, along with discussing what makes the 2024 Cubs team fun.

The tough stretch for the offense continues, as the Cubs split their 6 games since our last episode. However,  Sean Hot Stove Cubbies Chapin is on the case with his sources for early MLB Trade Rumors!

When I fell in love with the Cubs, I also fell in love with baseball video games. At one point in time, there were several releases each season. As time went on, it became clear one product stood above the rest: Playstation’s MLB the Show series. 

MLB the Show has been wowing many passerby mistaking the gameplay for a real Major League Baseball broadcast. This past march MLB the Show 24 released. As an avid sports gamer, I jumped right in on release date. But how good IS this game, and how different is this version versus others?

This week, Jeff enlists Chris Mills from Mills Gaming TV to discuss the ”singles” and the ”home-runs” on this years MLB the Show.
