No Offense - With Special Guest, Alex Cohen!
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. -

Bonus Episode - MLB The Show Discussion with Mills
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.

For Cub Fans, By Cub Fans
Exactly what I was looking for!
Best Cubs Podcast
This is hands down the best Cubs podcast. Jeff and Sean have so much knowledge and I loved how they broke down the rest of the NL Central, such a smart idea. This is a must listen to for any Cubs fan. The topics are always relevant and insightful. Loved listen to Andy Evans on the Reds offseason, would love to hear him as part of a mid season update. Thanks guys and I’m always down to be the Pod, Jeff!
A must listen for Cubs fans!
This is a great podcast with awesome Cubs talk! If you’re a fan of the Cubs, I definitely recommend it.
