Oleg and Andy call to the bullpen and Mike D. steps over Kyle Hendricks to fill in for the birthday boy, Praz. The guys discuss whether the Cubs have demoted Kyle to the bullpen or is being put out to pasture, and they (or at least Andy) thinks with a little “growth” it might just work. They also try to make sense of the Cubs sending down Petecrow and not Nick Madrigal and just how long Nick’s Roster Spot Hostage Crisis can go on. They also discuss what to do with Ian Happ, whether Cody Bellinger is playing his way back to free agency again, and most crucially, how can the third largest market in the nation foist Zach Zaidman and Matt Spiegel on us as our only play-by-play options. All that, and more.
