468. What the hell is [THIS]? - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

About this episode

The episode discusses the Cubs' recent developments, including player practices, promotional campaigns, and a farewell to Robert Duvall.

The MLBPA lost a really dumb president for a really dumb reason, it seems only fitting that Matt Shaw is practicing in right field, the Cubs could use a real bench bat still and the Cubs are obsessed with Alex Bregman's intangibles. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk it all over, as well as the Cubs newest bad promotional campaign, some great and some really odd ballpark giveaways. They give former Cubs great Ron Mahay some love, and say goodbye to Robert Duvall, uncover a secret baseball movie and Oleg and Andy bore Praz at the end with F1 talk.
