9. Pitch Clock Thoughts from Minor League Guys, Prospects Paired With Major League Players
Greg and Bryan dig being able to watch Cubs prospects on the same field as the Major Leaguers so they talk about some standout performances by PCA, Darius Hill, Caleb Kilian, and Ryan Jensen. They also give their reaction to some of the pitch clock outcry as two guys that spent all year in 2022 watching minor leaguers play with the clock. The guys end the show by identifying Major League players and minor league prospects that would be perfect fits for a MLB/MiLB Big Brother program.

Customer Reviews
Excellent start!
If the episodes to follow are as informative and entertaining as the first one, I’ll be on board as long as they keep going. Well done!
Great info! One request
Thanks Gentlemen, this was great info on each player. I loved all the stats you gave plus the intangibles on each player on why they should stick on the 40 man. My one request is to Greg, please slow down the talking. You have such good info to share and I couldn’t understand you because once you were afraid of the making the podcast too long you started speed talking. Don’t worry if it’s too long. I can just hit pause and finish the podcast the next day! Can’t wait for the next one! Great job.
Prospect Perspectives with Personality
Cubs prospect discussion that benefits from a number of factors: an appreciation for players’ stories/journeys, attention to the farm system at each level, and joyous fandom delivered with a balance of in-depth analysis and personal eyewitness perception. Fun and informative. Definitely going into my regular Cubs podcast listening rotation.
