Backs against the wall
from Cubs Now
The Cubs Weekly Podcast recapped a tough, two-day stretch that saw the Cubs lose a pair of games by 1 run in Atlanta. Tony Andracki, Andy Martínez and Tim Stebbins broke down the start of the series and looked ahead to the final 4 games of the regular season. The trio discussed the Cubs’ bullpen woes, how David Ross can piece together the end of a game and how the defense — a staple for this team — has struggled of late. Later in the podcast, the group discuss the impact of Jeimer Candelario returning to the lineup and what it means for the Cubs moving forward. As it stands, the Cubs have Justin Steele lined up to pitch game 162 against Milwaukee, which begs the question: if the Cubs get into the playoffs, who starts Game 1 of the Wild Card round? Andracki, Stebbins and Martínez discuss that and more in this week’s edition of the pod.
