Cubs 16-5 over their last 21 games and on pace for 102 wins

PCA is *fourth overall* in All-Star voting so far behind Judge, Ohtani, and Freeman. We knew Tucker was a star, but one of the main reasons the Cubs could have a special season is now they clearly have TWO star players.

Surprise: Here is the first podcast Sam and I ever did together FIVE YEARS AGO. This is a few episodes into my first show I launched a couple months earlier. "Maybe we'll pop up somewhere down the line. You never know." soundcloud.com/matt_cozzi/eav…

Cubs are 48-33 at the halfway point and have been in 1st place since April 4. I’m savoring it all. Go Cubs

The Athletic is doing a Chicago sports media survey. We are not on the favorite non-Bears podcast list so you will need to check *Other* and then type in 'Locked On Cubs.' More details on our episode tonight. Thank you for voting! Survey link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Cubs are now 29-10 in games following a loss

THANK YOU

Shout out to Locked On Cubs for being voted "favorite non-Bears podcast" in The Athletic's Chicago sports media survey! Congrats and well-deserved Matt Cozzi and Sam Olbur.

Thankful for the opportunity from Locked On + your continued support. Go Cubs

Hearing the Cubs have checked in with the Marlins on SP Edward Cabrera, who is available. Cubs have a scouting presence at Cabrera’s start right now.

Nice shoutout for the best Cubs podcast out there. Sam Olbur Matt Cozzi

Am I the only one who thinks the Cubs can go deep into the postseason with Matt Shaw batting 9th and playing 3B?

Breaking news: I just reheated a slice of pizza for an afternoon snack

Ken Rosenthal just said on FS1 that he expects the Cubs to be the most active team at the trade deadline

Where were you when Marquee reported Ian Happ to the IL, deleted everything about it, and then Happ homered only hours later?

Cubs for a Cure radiothon begins RIGHT NOW on 670 The Score. Great incentives available for donation + Danny Parkins will be joined by guests who share their stories. Cubs game on Saturday also includes Stand Up To Cancer placard moment. Donate at cubsforacure.com

There are no great teams this year. A flawed team is going to win the World Series. But if starting pitching is what brings down the Cubs, then that is on the Cubs. They did get a little better though and we’ll see what happens the rest of the way.

"One of the larger reasons why the show has taken off is because we’re good friends and we care about each other." Thank you to Joe Aguilar from the Northwest Herald for telling our story. Online now and print next week. Check it out! shawlocal.com/northwest-hera…

THIS IS THE YEAR AND THE CUBS ARE REAL

Cubs are 26-11 this year and 17-3(!) at Wrigley when either Boyd and Imanaga are on the mound AND the offense scores at least 3 runs. If Boyd and Imanaga are sharp + they score only a little bit, then they should be fine this week...
