25 MAR 2021 · We’re one week from ACTUAL baseball, so Adam and Kevin take the time to talk about the most impressive performances of the Spring (Hoerner, Bote, Marisnick, Joc), and what that means for the upcoming roster decisions. We also talk just a little bit about fantasy baseball, and what Cubs you’d want in your fake team. Go to ThriveFantasy and use promo code AWAYGAMES for a $20 credit on your first deposit.

17 MAR 2021 · Opening Day is two weeks away, and there's a fight to make the final roster. We talk about the final bench bat (Maybin, Sogard, Vargas?) and the chess game it will take to keep all the relievers we want without losing any to waivers, after the impressive performances by Shelby Miller, Rex Brothers, and Dillon Maples.

10 MAR 2021 · Fans will be allowed at Wrigley on Opening Day, and we give you a rundown of everything you can expect at games this season. We also overreact to some early Spring Training performances (Nico’s hitting .600! Trevor Megill touching 99! Nasty Rex Brothers!), talk about the Cubs fun new prospect Shendrick Apostel, and hit you with a Harry Carey trivia question you probably didn’t know. Follow us @awaygamespod on Twitter and Instagram, and rate and review if ya don’t mind! This was a fun one.

3 MAR 2021 · We end the episode with a teaser from Bob Newhart (at 36:39), telling Kevin about his favorite Cubs memories. Clip from radio show “Celebrate!” (on Sirius XM 99, Wednesdays at 4 p.m. Eastern - full interview airs 3/10). Before that, we talk Cubs first Spring Training game, the Cubs history of spring training performance, ESPN’s simulation that has the Cubs winning the division, and we rank best/worst celebrity Cubs fans and 7th inning stretches.

24 FEB 2021 · The Cubs are in Arizona, with a couple new/old names joining the team (Cameron Maybin, Brandon Workman).

17 FEB 2021 · Pitchers and catchers are finally back in Arizona, and one very important pitcher is back with the Cubs: Jake Arrieta! Baseball is finally back, and Arrieta is finally back with the Cubs on a one year deal. The team is just about finalized, as speedy outfielder Jake Marisnick also joined the Cubs this year. We talk about both Jakes (and possibly a third in Jake Lamb), Joc, and the beginning of this in-between year for the Cubs. We’re actually excited, and THAT is news.

10 FEB 2021 · We are joined by with Greg Huss (Cubs Insider, Growing Cubs Podcast) to talk in depth about the Cubs farm system: strengths, weaknesses, players we can hope to see this season, and what prospects might form the next Cubs core. Greg also talks to us about what we can expect to see of the actual Minor Leagues after a year off. Folow Greg on Twitter @outofthevines and check him and Jimmyu Nelligan on the Growing Cubs Podcast.

3 FEB 2021 · We specifically asked for good, or at least interesting things to start happening with the Cubs...and then they kind of did! The Cubs signed former Dodger Joc Pederson to play left field (and sometimes center), and starting pitcher/all around fun guy Trevor Williams to compete for a spot in the rotation. Former #4 pick, starting pitcher Kohl Stewart also signed to a deal, as the Ricketts reportedly found several dollars to be put toward winning baseball games. Follow us!

27 JAN 2021 · It’s time to talk about how much we’ll miss Jon Lester as the Cubs refused to make a serious offer to keep the most important free agent signing in Cubs history. We also talk about the Cubs offseason approach, what it means going forward, a big Cubs international signing, and we remember the late Hank Aaron and how underrated he still is.
