CUBS HAVE A BIG PROBLEM! This Could END Their Playoff Run!

from Chicago Cubs Central Podcast Hosted by Chicago Cubs central

he Chicago Cubs have a problem that could become VERY costly once the postseason begins. In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike breaks down one of the biggest flaws facing this Cubs team: LEAVING RUNNERS ON BASE. The White Sox exposed the problem, and if the Cubs continue wasting scoring opportunities against better teams, it could come back to haunt them when the games matter most. ⚾ The Cubs are getting runners on — but they're NOT consistently bringing them home. And that's a dangerous formula heading into October. Why leaving runners on base is becoming a major Cubs problem How the White Sox exposed Chicago's offensive weakness Why the Cubs HAVE to start cashing in scoring opportunities Can this offense be trusted in the postseason? What happens when the Cubs face elite pitching in October? Is this a fixable problem before the playoffs? What needs to change for the Cubs to make a deep postseason run? The Cubs have the talent to make noise in October — but they can't afford to waste opportunities. Is leaving runners on base the Cubs' BIGGEST weakness? 👇 SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS! 🔥 LIKE THE VIDEO 🔥 SUBSCRIBE TO CHICAGO CUBS CENTRAL 🔥 TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS 🔥 JOIN THE CUBS CENTRAL COMMUNITY #ChicagoCubs #Cubs #CubsCentral #GoCubsGo #CubsNews #MLB #ChicagoSports #CubsBaseball #Postseason #MLBPlayoffs 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:
