It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cubs have started to build some momentum, and now the question becomes whether they can keep it going. Brendan Miller and Corey Freedman break down what’s fueling the recent success and what still needs to improve for the Cubs to make a sustained push. They’ll discuss Pete Crow-Armstrong’s emergence as one of MLB’s top performers, the continued offensive inconsistencies throughout the lineup, rough stretches from Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner, and what increased opportunities for Matt Shaw and Pedro Ramirez could mean moving forward. Plus, they’ll level-set on a pitching staff dealing with even more injuries and examine the impact of key contributors like Matthew Boyd and Edward Cabrera. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
