from The Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast · host brett taylor, michael cerami

Brett is flying solo for the twenty-eighth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! He recaps a strong stretch of baseball for the Cubs, including series wins over both the Rockies at Coors Field and the Braves at Wrigley Field.The Cubs have widened their Wild Card lead thanks to some stumbles by the Padres, but the main spotlight goes to Cade Horton. His second half has been outstanding, with strikeouts climbing, walks falling, and a run that’s drawing comparisons to Jake Arrieta’s legendary 2015 second-half surge. Brett digs into Horton’s Rookie of the Year chances and what his emergence means for the rotation.Also on the docket: Kyle Tucker leaving the second Braves game early with calf tightness. The hope is it’s nothing more than precautionary, with Tucker likely to return by Friday.A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!Visit Ankin Law's Website ➡️ ankinlaw.com Follow Michael on Twitter ➡️ @michael_ceramiFollow Brett on Twitter ➡️ @brett_a_taylorFollow Bleacher Nation on Twitter ➡️ @bleachernationFollow Michael on Bluesky ➡️ @michael-cerami.bsky.socialFollow Brett on Bluesky ➡️ @brett-taylor.bsky.socialFollow Bleacher Nation on Bluesky ➡️ @bleachernation.bsky.socialVisit our Website ➡️ bleachernation.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brett goes solo for the twenty-eighth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! He recaps back-to-back series wins against the Rockies and Braves, updates Kyle Tucker’s status after leaving with calf tightness, and highlights how the Cubs are creating distance in the Wild Card race. The focus, though, is on Cade Horton’s phenomenal second half—his improved command, rising strikeout rate, and Rookie of the Year case as he channels shades of Jake Arrieta’s dominant 2015 run.
