Dexter Fowler shocks the world and comes back to Chicago. We take a look at the repercussions on other players of his return as well as the return on the Chris Coghlan trade. Does this mean the final bat off the bench is now decided?
We go around the table and pick out which player worries us the most in terms of how a bad performance would impact the team going into 2016. Then Joel tells us what Michael Barrett has been up to in our 60 seconds with a former Cub segment.
The stat of the week is ISO and Joel makes a bad Vanilla Ice joke.
The question of the week asks who will lead off: Fowler or Heyward?
Loving the podcast but man, the audio quality makes it hard to listen. Hopefully I come off as constructive here as I do really enjoy it! The main concern I have is of the high pitched voices and the constant audio skype dropouts. If you want to go to the absolute best example, I think “Accidental Tech Podcast” is one of the best sounding podcasts out there. Marco lays some of this out here:

And Casey here:

Recording them locally to each machine and then combining them in the end could make some huge improvements. It is a lot of time so I think even basic mic upgrades/skype tweaks could really help

Any show on TWIT would be a good example of how skype podcasts could sound. Thanks for your podcast and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback, Stephen! We are aware of the problems and are appreciative of the links. We believe we have the issues solved, specifically my problems that I was having (which were related to bandwidth and my wife not realizing she can’t stream Netflix while I record). I haven’t listened to it yet, but I believe Episode 5 will have be much better on this front. Thanks as always for listening!
