All-Star Takeaways, Replay Fixes & Cubs Surpass Expectations | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Brett and Michael are back for the twenty-first episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! They kick things off with a quick recap of the All-Star Game—including the swing-off finale—and explain why that particular twist has no place in the regular season.They also highlight Pete Crow-Armstrong embracing his status as a role model and how Kyle Tucker’s deadpan, low-energy All-Star presence was accidentally hilarious.From there, they talk replay review process tweaks, take stock of the Cubs roster heading into the second half, and reflect on the team’s surprising first-half success—owning the third-best record in baseball despite major rotation injuries. A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!Visit Ankin Law's Website ➡️ ankinlaw.com =============================Connect with us!Follow Michael on Twitter ➡️ @michael_ceramiFollow Brett on Twitter ➡️ @brett_a_taylorFollow Bleacher Nation on Twitter ➡️ @bleachernation Follow Michael on Bluesky ➡️ @michael-cerami.bsky.socialFollow Brett on Bluesky ➡️ @brett-taylor.bsky.socialFollow Bleacher Nation on Bluesky ➡️ @bleachernation.bsky.social Visit our Website ➡️ bleachernation.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
