CubsPS+ Episode 110: The Joy of Greatness – PCA and 40 Years of Cubs Magic In this episode, I took a step back from the spreadsheets and stat lines to talk about something more visceral: joy. Specifically, the kind of joy that comes from watching greatness unfold right in front of us. Pete Crow-Armstrong isn't just playing well—he's turning every game into an event. I start by connecting this episode's number—110—to two Cubs legends: Ron Santo (#10 forever) and PCA's preseason 110 WRC+ projection. PCA has blown past that projection with a 137 WRC+ and has already become one of the most exciting players in baseball. I dive into his elite defense, blazing speed, and emerging bat—and why it all adds up to something Cubs fans haven't seen in decades. This episode isn't just about numbers—it's about feeling. The vibe. The aura. The once-in-a-generation energy that PCA is bringing. Inspired by PCA, I reflect on the rare moments over the last 40+ years when Cubs players reached that same level of "must-watch greatness": Andre Dawson's MVP season in 1987 Greg Maddux's dominance before the Cubs let him walk Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout masterpiece Sammy Sosa's video-game numbers and unforgettable 1998 Derrick Lee's incredible 2005 season Javy Báez's electric mix of flash and power Jake Arrieta's unreal run from mid-2015 to mid-2016 I ask a simple but essential question: When was the last time watching Cubs baseball felt like this? With the team on a 99-100 win pace despite injuries and with PCA leading a resurgence in center field, I urge listeners to appreciate the moment. I wrap with a reminder: greatness is rare. Don't just analyze it. Enjoy it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We all love great comeback stories. This is one but not like you think …but not in the way you think.Matt Antonelli was the 17th pick in the first round of the 2006 MLB draft by the San Diego . By the 2008 season, he was a top-50 prospect in baseball. But he only played 21 games in the MLB and by 2013 his professional baseball career was over. Matt says “ I've been called a bust so many times, I stopped caring a long time ago.” He is now a coach and business owner.His hardest moment was the year he made my big league debut. He was a top prospect in the Padres' organization going into the 2008 season. Matt began the season in Triple A and, for the first time in his life, he was horrible. He forgot how to hit and had no idea how to fix it.We discussed:His first big league hit against Greg Maddux.What the hard moments teach you and what the easy ones never could.Your identity must be bigger than your achievements. Why so many business owners think they are their business.Sometimes the greatest growth comes after letting go.What feels like a loss can actually be relief in disguise.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-small-business-radio-show--3306444/support.

This week's focus is on the legendary pitching icon Ferguson Jenkins, who is arguably the greatest ballplayer that Canada has ever produced (with all apologies to Larry Walker) and indeed one of the country's finest all-around athletes ever. During a time that many consider "The Golden Age Of Pitching", Fergie stood shoulder to shouler with the era's greats, and he towered above the rest. He is the only (and most likely the last, considering the evolution of the bullpen in the modern game) pitcher in the last 50 years to win at least 20 games a year, for six consecutive seasons, and along with Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, they are the only four pitchers in the game's long history with 3,000 strikeouts to their credit, and less than 1,000 walks surrendered. From Chatham, Ontario to Cooperstown, NY, I give you the life and baseball journey of this pitching great. #FergusonArthurJenkins #Fergie #DeloresJenkins #ChathamOntario #ChathamVocationalHighSchool #TerrysCoalYard #GerryMcCaffery #DaveDziadura #PhiladelphiaPhillies #ChicagoCubs #TexasRangers #BostonRedSox #JimBunning #BobGibson #HarlemGlobetrotters #GaryTempleton

Podcast Show Notes for Episode 92 In Episode 92, I take a deep dive into the Cubs' current offseason situation, unpacking the big decisions that lie ahead and revisiting some crucial moments in team history that hold powerful lessons for today. Episode Highlights: 1. Juan Soto Rumors and the Cubs' Approach: A breakdown of the latest rumors around Juan Soto and the implications for the Cubs if they sit out of the bidding process. Why Juan Soto is a generational talent worth pursuing, even if it means stretching the budget, and why missing this chance might feel like deja vu for long-time fans. 2. The Larry Himes Era Revisited: Taking a look back at the early 1990s when then-GM Larry Himes chose not to keep star pitcher Greg Maddux—a decision that haunted the franchise for years. Exploring how the Cubs could be at a similar crossroads today with Soto and other potential big moves, and what lessons they might learn from history. 3. Ownership, Budget, and Spending Philosophy: Examining the Cubs' spending strategy and why fans feel the team should take bolder financial risks, especially with a billionaire ownership. Insights into how ownership's decisions have influenced the team's on-field results, and where Jed Hoyer's approach as a GM fits into this narrative. 4. Key Offseason Deadlines and Decisions: Important upcoming dates, including the tender deadline on November 22 and the Rule 5 Draft in early December, with potential roster moves and non-tenders. Names to watch for, including young players on the brink of roster decisions and possible non-tender candidates like Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal. 5. Next Week's Special Episode Preview: A teaser for next week's episode featuring Sara Sanchez (Bleed Cubbie Blue, Cuppa Cubbie Blue Podcast), where we will revisit the Cubs' 2023-24 offseason moves and reimagine how the budget could have been spent differently. Closing Thoughts: This offseason presents a rare opportunity for the Cubs to reshape their future. As a fan and follower of this team, I can't help but feel a mix of optimism and worry as I watch how they choose to proceed. With generational talent on the line, the Cubs' decisions over the next few weeks will have an impact on the team for years to come.

Greg Maddux signing with Braves is 13th moment we'd like to cut from our memory, presented by Great Clips.
Originally aired October 2023. Brian Wright (MLB.com, New York Mets All-Time All-Stars, Mets in 10s) joins Thomas Emerick to resurface this NL East showdown in the 1997 National League Championship Series between the Atlanta Braves and the recently non-existent Florida Marlins. We got Liván Hernández, Greg Maddux, and a big strike zone for left-handed hitters. Hear why this was the most shocking league championship series round to that point, when quantifying via the betting markets for every series since they started playing this round back in 1969 — No. 1 by a mile. In the time since, only 2010 tops it. Even this year's underdogs heading to the World Series in the Texas Ranger and Arizona Diamondbacks didn't knock off nearly as big of favorites in terms of combined odds, as with Florida toppling Atlanta and Cleveland upsetting Baltimore one riveting week back in '97. And it really starts rolling Sunday in Miami with Game 5. This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and maybe chart the path of the zeitgeist.

PODCAST: On this Baseball Hall of Fame edition of Sports Business Radio, we look back on past conversations with 1st ballot Baseball Hall of Famers Cal Ripken Jr., Greg Maddux and John Smoltz. Tremendous insight provided by three of the best baseball players ever. Each has gone on to have success in business post-career. Cal Ripken Jr. is the owner of the longest consecutive games played streak in baseball history (2,632 games), 2-time American League MVP, 19-time MLB All-Star and is a current Co-Owner of the Baltimore Orioles. Greg Maddux is a 4-time Cy Young award winner, 355 game winner, 18-time Gold Glove award winner and one of the greatest pitchers of all-time.

How can Odell Beckham do one-legged squats with 350+ pounds around his neck while on the PUP list? What is the PUP list? If this were Week 1 of the Playoffs, would Odell be playing? Plus, Christian McCaffrey is going to Germany to deal with his Achilles injury and Stugotz is very suspicious of what's going on there.
