In a 'win or go home' Game 5  live from #milwaukee, the #chicagocubs sent opener #drewpomeranz to the mound against opener #trevormegill of the #milwaukeebrewers.  In a tight game throughout, the #brewers rode 3 solo HRs into the 9th inning, as the #cubs managed just a solo shot from #seiyasuzuki.  The Cubs just didn't get enough offense and the Brewers got just what they needed and rode their bullpen to advance to the #NLCS.  #kap #guff and Gordon are here for the final breakdown and reaction from the Best of 5 series.Folks it gets good here: https://www.youtube.com/live/RTFH9V_9-uQ?si=MQwdl9kemdM569ks&t=914#takethat CHAPTERS:00:00 - Cubs fall to Brewers in deciding game 500:28 - Cubs didn't have enough offensive traffic01:54 - Deadass team performance analysis04:00 - Upcoming trade deadline strategies08:13 - Andrew Chafin's impact on the team10:24 - Cubs offense struggles in playoffs19:45 - Evaluating the Cubs' season success21:06 - Player accountability and performance23:56 - Cubs' prospect development since Mark Grace28:15 - Cubs lost to a superior team31:18 - Cubs focus on 2023 season goals32:37 - Fans deserve better performance34:50 - Cubs need more power hitters38:20 - Cubs offseason plans and strategies43:10 - Final thoughts on the season44:10 - Where is Hawk Harrelson?45:50 - Key needs for the Cubs moving forward50:10 - Sinus and Snoring MD sponsorship51:30 - Final thoughts recap53:03 - Sign off and conclusion___________________________UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS:

Talk about a response!!  The #chicagocubs needed one in Game 4 to stay alive and they got it.  #ianhapp crushed a 3-run HR in 1st (stop if you've heard this before) and #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th inning as the #cubs force a win or go home, deciding Gm. 5 on Saturday night in #milwaukee.  #kap #guff and Gordon are back for live reaction from an electric #wrigleyfield.  How about big nights from Happ, #mattshaw & #kyletucker?  Three players fans haven't been happy with.  We'll take your comments and reactions as the Cubs live to see another day!!#takethat ___________________________UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS:

Nothing is ever easy with this #chicagocubs team.  After taking a 4-1 in the 1st, the #cubs offense was shut down for most of the game as #jamesontaillon and the Cubs bullpen gutted their way through the game in a nail biter to the end.  #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer have LIVE reaction from the #NLDS.  The #brewers left the bases loaded in the 8th and #bradkeller attempted the 4-out save.  Guff and Gordon are at #wrigleyfield with coverage from a raucous Wrigley.#takethat ___________________________

The #chicagocubs certainly didn't HAVE to win Gm. 2 of the #NLDS against the #milwaukeebrewers, but at the same time, they kind of did.  #seiyasuzuki delivered a 3-run HR in the 1st inning, but #shotaimanaga's 1st inning struggles continued, as he allowed a game tying 3-run HR by #andrewvaugh.  #williamcontreras added a solo shot and #jacksonchourio hit a dagger off of #danielpalencia - another 3-run HR to put the #brewers up 7-3.  The Brewers maneuvered a bullpen game, led by 3 strong innings from #jacobmisiorowski.  #kap, #guff and Gordon are here to break it all down.  What happened?  Why it happened and what happens next?#takethat___________________________

Woof.  This one got out of hand very early for the #chicagocubs.  The #milwaukeebrewers tagged #matthewboyd in the 1st inning, eventually scoring 6 runs and knocking Boyd from the game.  The scoring continued, and by the end of the 2nd inning, the #brewers held a 9-1 lead.  #kap, #guff and Gordon Wittenmyer break down what went wrong and why, no matter how ugly it was in Gm. 1 of the #NLDS, the #cubs just have to flush this one and move onto Game 2 on Monday night.#takethat___________________________

The #chicagocubs and #sandiegopadres went wire to wire the entire series and just like the first two games, Game 3 came down to the end.  The #cubs struck first with a pair of runs and it remained that way until the 7th, when #michaelbusch homered to give the #cubs a 3-0 lead.  #jamesontaillon was nails, tossing 4 shutout innings and the bullpen did the rest.  The #padres didn't get a good start from former Cub #yudarvish and the #padres spent the rest of the game playing catch-up and chasing innings the rest of the way.Reaction aplenty as #kap and #guff are here for live reaction of the #wildcard series and what happens next with the #chicagocubs.#takethat___________________________

The #chicagocubs had a chance to sweep the #sandiegopadres at #wrigleyfield in the #wildcard series at #wrigleyfield on Wednesday.  #dylancease struck out 5 and was yanked in the 4th inning. The #padres bullpen went to work after that.  #masonmiller threw 104mph and struck out 5.  #mannymachado hit a HR that #kap and #guff are scratching their heads about.  The reason?  Why did #shotaimanaga face him?  Imanaga came in in relief after #andrewkittredge allowed a run in the 1st.Kap and Guff are here with LIVE reaction to Game 2 and we take your thoughts and questions.#takethatREKAP SPONSORS:--------------------------------------------

The #chicagocubs are in the #wildcard series against the #sandiegopadres and are in the playoffs for the 1st time since 2020.  #matthewboyd pitched into the 5th, #seiyasuzuki homered for the 5th straight game and #carsonkelly homered in his 1st postseason game.  #nickpivetta was great, striking out 9, and then it got to the bullpens.  #kap and #guff are with you for instant reaction and what's next as the Cubs and Padres square off Wednesday in Game 2.  #takethat CHAPTERS:00:00 - Cubs Win First Playoff Game00:50 - Cubs Bullpen Performance04:13 - Viewer Comments and Reactions04:24 - Bunting Strategy with Happ06:14 - Wild Pitch Victory07:39 - Cubs Defensive Excellence11:36 - World Series Predictions12:40 - Game Management Strategies14:04 - Future Bunting Opportunities15:56 - Dylan Cease's Upcoming Start16:49 - Shohei Ohtani's Impact20:33 - Cubs Lineup Analysis22:10 - Maintaining Positivity23:55 - Final Thoughts and Messages25:38 - Sinus Issues and Snoring26:56 - Cubs Beat Padres 3-1, Series Lead27:08 - Thanks for Watching___________________________

The regular season has hit its final week and as #kap and Gordon record the newest podcast, the #chicagocubs haven't won since clinching a #wildcard berth a week ago in Pittsburgh!  That leads the guys to discuss their concerns about the #cubs as the Wild Card series nears.  What's the biggest concern?  Is it #kyletucker and his calf?  #cadehorton had his stiff back?  #pca and his 2nd half struggles?  All of the above?  The pair discuss Cade Horton's impressive rookie season, we hear from Horton and where they think he'll start in the series.  Plus, grades for the front office and #craigcounsell.  Another spirited edition of the podcast is here for you, right now!#takethat___________________________

The #chicagocubs are knocking on the door of their 1st postseason berth since 2020.  They can clinch a #wildcard spot as early as Tuesday night.  #kap and GW debate the strengths of a #cubs team headed to their first postseason in 5 years.  Prior to that debate, Kap asks whether you can be a fan of a team while covering a team at the same time.  Gordon says 'no', while Kap of course says, 'that's who I am.'  However, Gordon gives the disclaimer that his job is different and it's to serve the fans as a beat writer of the team.A great debate, as always on the Cubs REKAP Podcast.#takethat Folks, don't miss our new ☕ Coffee w/Kap segment: https://bit.ly/coffee-with-kap Take That!You are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

Kap and Gordon are back as the Chicago Cubs continue their rollercoaster season.  The last 3 months, the Cubs have played just a tick above .500 causing frustration throughout the fanbase and this podcast.  It leads to a discussion and debate about the things that manager Craig Counsell does well as Jed Hoyer targeted him a year and a half ago to make the highest paid manager in the history of the game.  Kap doesn't see it.  Gordon quite frankly doesn't either.  So, is manager Craig Counsell overrated?  The guys discuss and they look ahead.  Is chasing down the NL Central leading Brewers possible?  The schedule says so, the lineup may say otherwise.Take That!You are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

The Chicago Cubs seem like they're in a downward spiral with an offense that can't get out of their own way. Kap and Gordon Wittenmyer are here to dissect the Cubs in a post trade deadline era. Speaking of, what are their deadline thoughts?  It should come as no surprise that they're baffled at the lack of will Jed Hoyer and the front office showed.

It's officially trade season in #mlb and the #chicagocubs are ready to make a deal as one of baseball's best teams. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the latest with the #cubs, why it's time to pounce, but why other teams are holding things up more than the Cubs themselves. Is the nature of the added #wildcard making more teams believe they have a shot even though realistically they don't?  Plus, how important is the addition of multiple starting pitchers now that #jamesontaillon is on the IL for at least a month?  As the All-Star break approaches, what makes a final week successful as they approach the second half?It's the Cubs REKAP Podcast, right now!#takethatYou are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️   / thekapman4   ➡️   / thekapman    ➡️   / thekapman   ➡️   / thekapman    ➡️   / david-kaplan-6ab53028    ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

The #chicagocubs enter July in 1st place. Coming off of a .500 June where they went 13-13, the #cubs still have a lot of momentum and a lot of buzz as the #mlbtradedeadline awaits at the end of the month. #kap and #guff, who sits in for Gordon Wittenmyer, break down why there shouldn't be a sense of panic and that the best is yet to come. MLB Network's Jim Bowden says that the Cubs will ‘win the trade deadline in the NL Central' and adds that they're 'all in'.

#kap & Gordon are back with the latest happenings with the #chicagocubs as the calendar turns to June.  Yes, the #cubs have some issues, like most teams, but unlike most teams, the Cubs are 15 games over .500 and one of the best offenses in all of baseball.  Kap poses the question to Gordon - is this season #worldseries or bust?  Kap believes it is, while Gordon believes getting there would be enough.  The duo argue over who the Cubs should be all-in on acquiring at the trade deadline, and what exactly, 'all-in' looks like.  #tomricketts needs to open up the checkbook and do whatever it takes in a 'wide-open' race to be serious World Series contenders.Per usual, it's a spirited edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast - and it all starts right now!#takethat You are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

#kap and #gordonwittenmyer are joined by #guff as the trio debate, and sometimes very heated, the best player at every position from the last 25 years in Chicago. This discussion included players from both the #chicagocubs and #whitesox, with only one player at each position earning the nod, respectively. There were some heated debates at catcher between #willsoncontreras & #ajpierzynski, left handed pitcher with #markbuerhle #jonlester & #chrissale, as well as 1st base between #paulkonerko #anthonyrizzo & #joseabreu. The in-depth discussion brings back blasts from the past and goes in detail about what each player brings to the debate and why, in the end, they deserve it.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Natalie Orpett, Tyler McBrien, and Daniel Byman to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Borderline Behavior.” A major flare-up over the disputed region of Kashmir took place this past week, leading to a major exchange of hostilities between the nuclear powers of India and Pakistan before they agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire—one that is mostly holding, despite alleged violations on both sides. How durable a resolution does this seem likely to be? And what additional steps need to be taken to preserve peace?“Parting Ways.” President Trump announced a major change to U.S. policies in the Red Sea this week, in the form of a ceasefire with the Yemeni armed group and de facto government Ansar Allah (also known as the Houthis), in which they would cease attacks on U.S. shipping. But the credibility of this commitment is in doubt, as are the implications of U.S. actions for shipping through the Red Sea more broadly. What should we make of this major policy shift? “First Class Problems.” President Trump announced this week that he would be accepting the gift of a luxury jet from the government of Qatar for use as Air Force One during his presidency, which would then be transferred to his foundation shortly before he leaves office in 2029. How big a problem is this? And how can he accept this gift, given that the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits “accept[ing]...any present…of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State”?In Object Lessons, Tyler delighted in the Financial Times's trolling of its own “Lunch with the FT,” in which Sam Altman's kitchen and gross misuse of olive oil becomes a bizarre metaphor for OpenAI. Natalie delighted in some hometown, Pope-town pride (and some Lou Malnati's pizza). Scott delighted in discovering both Dolcezza and their affogato with decaf espresso, a dessert for those who crave flavor and excitement but who also like sleep. And Dan, in utterly failing his wife, delighted in reaping the benefits of her Mother's Day gift: a little contraption that sits somewhere between wellness hack and medieval torture rack.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

As we approach May, the #chicagocubs have proven to be one of the better teams in baseball. Atop the #nlcentral, they've played the toughest schedule in baseball that includes their entire season series against the #losangelesdodgers, #sandiegopadres & #arizonadiamondbacks.  Despite having holes in the bullpen, 3rd base and the rotation, the #cubs offense has proven one of the best in #mlb, led by superstar slugger #kyletucker.  #kap and Gordon discuss the state of the club and how they proceed into May as the schedule softens and the Cubs try to figure out how to proceed to fill the gaps they have in their roster. Gordon computes that the Cubs are on pace to win 95 games, while Kap playfully goes at GW after an earlier podcast discussed whether we'd know if the Cubs would win the NL Central by the end of April. It's the Cubs REKAP Podcast brought to you by the #illinoistollway#takethatYou are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.
