The Dreamcast, by World Series Dreaming

Dreamcast #97: Buy In

We did a thing at Obstructed View in setting up a team-building exercise via free agency, so this time on the Dreamcast we discuss some ideal additions should the Ricketts Family find some extra cash to play with, the challenge of finding an ideal trade partner, and how to approach Jed Hoyer's lame duck season. Also, just generally being jealous of the reigning World Series champion Dodgers and hoping the Cubs can build a similarly talented team that can overcome injury and poor luck to win it all in the near future.

Dreamcast #96: The Dream Matchup

As we recorded this, the Dodgers were cementing their NL pennant-clinching victory to go up against the Yankees for the umpteenth time in the World Series. We discuss the league championship series, weird slumps by elite relievers, who's going to pay Juan Soto a billion dollars, getting baseball to the masses again, and set up our little offseason team-building game to get the Cubs back into postseason baseball.

Dreamcast #95: Embracing Chaos

With the MLB postseason underway, we talk about the postseason structure and results through the wild card round, suggest some quick fixes to the playoff format even if we think it's fine, and consider how the Cubs can find their way back to the postseason in 2025. Plus some quick words on the late Pete Rose if you dare to listen.

Dreamcast #94: Mission - Improbable!

As the Cubs' playoff odds continue to drop, we get together to discuss the slim chances, the bright future (whether the miraculous end-of-season run or 2025), some random MLB tidbits, and potential pitching rule changes.

Dreamcast #93: The Future's So Bright, We've Got to Discuss Trades

With the trade deadline looming, the Cubs did some trades and we discuss the ramifications of "not totally selling," smart buying, give tribute to the potential and awesomeness that is Christopher Morel, and discuss softball etiquette.

Dreamcast #92: Clawing Back?

The Cubs are on a relative hot streak entering the All-Star Break, so we talk about whether this represents something real they can build on, our thoughts on the trade deadline and what they should do, and the lone Cubs All-Star representative.

Dreamcast #91: Incomplete Game

The Cubs may or may not be coming out of their huge slump, but the outlook isn't all bad. We discuss Craig Counsell magic (or lack thereof), the usual stuff about the offense and the bullpen, and some cause for hope in the near future before the trade season ramps up. Plus Rice is moving and we pay tribute to the great Willie Mays.

Dreamcast #90: This is Fine

With the Cubs in a prolonged slump and answers seemingly eluding the powers that be, the Dreamcast ponders what is going wrong and what the players, coaches, and front office might do to fix things. Topics include the process, luck, and trying to tie it all together to make a run before the trade deadline. Also some bonus talk about those infield fly interference calls!
