476. Hey Matt, how about a little Steak DeBurgo - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

About this episode

The hosts discuss Matt Shaw's struggles with new positions, injuries in the Cubs roster, and roster management strategies.

Matt Shaw has proven unable to play any of the new positions the Cubs seem to want to make him play, so Oleg and Praz join the pod to come up with some options for him. They also solve the mystery of Steak DeBurgo, eventually find one really good comp for Cade Horton's recovery from a double dose of Tommy John Disease, figure out the real story of Ethan Roberts' "air vent" injury, we even find out here Brewers' pitcher Quinn Priester went shopping for his current injury. And, we do Jed's job and figure out how he should be shaping his roster. All this, and more.
