Podcast appearances and mentions of gordon wittenmyer

On this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast, #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer talk about the #chicagocubs DISAPPOINTING stretch against the Athletics, Giants, and Rockies. 6 of their 7 home wins since the beginning of May have been walk-offs. The Cubs have played very poorly with men on base. Kap thinks that #dansbyswanson should be benched and used as a defensive replacement until he can prove he can hit. What should Craig Counsell do? Should the Cubs go after a top-of-the-line starter at the trade deadline? Will the Cubs be aggressive at the trade deadline? What changes should the Cubs make in the starting lineup? All that and more are answered, and the Cubs REKAP Podcast starts now!#takethat PRESENTED BY

The #chicagocubs ended their long, 10-game losing streak and #kap can finally breathe again.  Or can he?  Kap is fired up in this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast along with his level headed partner, Gordon Wittenmyer.  The duo discuss the state of the #cubs and why they're far from out of the woods after falling into last place in the #nlcentral.  They also discuss the likelihood of a trade at the deadline and whether it would incluce #detroittigers ace #tarikskubal.  It's another lively edition of the podcast!#takethat ▶️ WATCH NEXThttps://youtu.be/nWkoS5lWN0Ihttps://youtu.be/C0j0Hvg6fAghttps://youtu.be/LYhhyQ-suvE___________________________________________

#kap and Gordon get HEATED once again about #craigcounsell's managing decisions, if the hitting or the pitching is the problem, and the continued domination of #shotaimanaga by the division rival #milwaukeebrewers. Gordon and Kap also discuss a reunion of the 2016 #clevelandguardians team. In case you live under a rock, those are the guys that blew a 3-1 lead in the World Series.

The #chicagocubs have cooled off a bit after their ten-game win streak, mainly due to stiff competition from two contenders in the #sandiegopadres and #losangelesdodgers. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss potential moves for pitchers following the Cubs' injury crisis, #moisesballesteros's hot early start, and what #jedhoyer and the front office are going to do next. Plus, the pod gets heated during a bonus appearance from #guff to talk about what the trade market for key #whitesox players will look like, which could potentially include star first baseman #munetakamurakami. Kap, Guff, and Gordon get INTO IT in today's edition of the REKAP Cubs Podcast!PRESENTED BY

The #chicagocubs are rolling, having won 6 in a row at the time of this taping and improving to 13-9 in a loaded #nlcentral.  #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss how the #cubs have looked like a different club the last week and why and how all three phases, offense, defense and starting pitching is clicking at the same time.  Plus, the guys discuss the #losangelesdodgers pursuit of a closer help after #edwindiaz needed surgery and will be out at least 3 months.  Are teams like the Cubs calling around #mlb as well, despite how difficult it is to pull off trades at this time of year?  An always spirited edition of the podcast and it starts now!#takethat __________________________________________▶️ WATCH NEXThttps://youtu.be/uFXzpaaSW9whttps://youtu.be/hPvfcxPCTa8https://youtu.be/cvo3DRTHCpg___________________________________________

#kap is SICKENED by #cubs $8 million manager #craigcounsell for his handling of the bullpen and starting pitching in last night's game against the #phillies. Is Craig Counsell a good manager? Or is he middle of the pack? #kevindurant on social media said that #pca is ‘must watch'; however, he is currently the worst hitter in baseball statistically this season. Is PCA's slow start worrisome? Will PCA live up to his contract? Kap and Gordon Wittenmyer tackle these topics.

Pitchers and catchers have reported to Spring Training and the level of expectation is the highest for the #chicagocubs since their #worldseries run in 2016. And, a yearly staple at #sloanpark, #jedhoyer met the media and admitted that they still have financial flexibility to add even more to a bulked up roster in search of an #nlcentral crown. #kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss Jed's comments as Gordon chimes in from Mesa, AZ.

#chicagocubs President #jedhoyer makes his way back to the REKAP® studios for a lengthy sit-down with #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer.  No stone is left unturned for the expectations of the 2026 Cubs.  That includes one popular rumor that has circulated about gold glover #nicohoerner, who is entering the final year of his contract and whether he'll be traded.  Hoyer debunks that rumor and says #mattshaw could be the Cubs Swiss army knife after adding slugger #alexbregman on a 5 year contract.  The trio dissect the 2025 playoff team, why there were no moves at last year's deadline, the timing of Hoyer's extension and how the decision to trade for #edwardcabrera, add Bregman and more came about after a slow start to the offseason.  It's an ask anything edition to Cubs President Jed Hoyer and it's right now on the Cubs REKAP® Podcast!#takethat Follow The REKAP® everywhere - https://linktr.ee/rekaps REKAP® Merch - https://bit.ly/rekap-merch ___________________________

The #chicagocubs made a big move to bolster their rotation moving forward.  #edwardcabrera is now a Cub and it took top prospect #owencaissie to land him.  So, that means more has to be coming with a vacancy in right field.  Right?  #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the upside of Cabrera, why trading Caissie was the right move and what they think the next domino to fall could be.  Plus, we take your live questions and reactions.#takethatREKAP SPONSORS:--------------------------------------------

The #chicagocubs have done very little this offseason.  Outside of a few bullpen moves, there has been no BIG move for the #cubs in the rotation or the lineup.  After #tatsuyaimai signed with the #houstonastros, enough is enough.  #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the frustration that comes with that for a fanbase after a season where they returned to the postseason, but came a game short of the #nlcs.  What now?  Is #kyletucker a possibility?  #codybellinger?  Do you want either?  The frustration mounts on this edition of the podcast.#takethatFollow The REKAP® everywhere - https://linktr.ee/rekaps REKAP® Merch - https://bit.ly/rekap-merch ___________________________UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS:Be sure to join us LIVE at

The #chicagocubs won 92 games in 2025, and while their first playoff berth since 2020 was nice, fans want more. That starts with free agency and trades, but the #cubs have been one of #mlb least active teams. Why?  Is there something up #jedhoyer's sleeve?  #kap  & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss an offseason of frustration and if that narrative will change or remain the same on this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast. #takethatFollow The REKAP® everywhere - https://linktr.ee/rekaps REKAP® Merch - https://bit.ly/rekap-merch ___________________________UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS:

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing.  Welcome to the great plains. When next Major League Baseball hosts a World Series it will have been a decade since any of thw 10 teams from the Midwest divisions have reached the Fall Classic. They've rarely had a club get as far as the championship series, and the National League Central hasn't won a game in the best-of-seven NLCS since 2018. Oh, and coming out of the pandemic the small-market teams that dot the NL and American League Central divisions have been rocked by revenue turbulence. All while the games star free agents gather at the coasts. With that as the background, Cincinnati Enquirer baseball writer Gordon Wittenmyer suggested to Post-Dispatch baseball writer and BPIB host Derrick Goold that they poll as many executives as possible at the General Manager Meetings to ask: Which team in the NL Central is most likely to be the next team to win a World Series? The answers were revealing -- not just for the task, but also for what executives view as the most likely traits a team needs to win. The "most resources," came up often as the big-city Cubs received the most votes. Here is the Post-Dispatch story that came from the poll. And here is the podcast that expands upon the poll to discuss the factors that got the divisions here, how one or more can escape the bind, and whether Major League Baseball is just going to keep soaring above fly-over country until the economic structure of the game changes. The two baseball writers dissect how the Pirates could augment a talented team with a different payroll formula, how the Brewers may lose their edge, how the Cardinals made regain theirs, how the Reds could make a push to the top, how the Cubs could financially squash the competition, and why they don't.  In the end, one of the writers makes his prediction for the NL Central team that will next win a World Series title. It's a team that just doesn't exist yet. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
