Cubs Win Wild Card, First Playoff Series in 7 Years & Brewers NLDS Preview | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Brett and Michael are back for the thirty-second episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! The Cubs are moving on after taking down the Padres in the Wild Card round—their first playoff series victory in seven years—and the guys are amped.They reflect on the Padres series, noting how close it really was and how both teams leaned heavily on their bullpens and matchup management. Aggressive moves from both dugouts were amplified in the short three-game format, with San Diego’s bullpen, in particular, standing out.The guys also ask the big question: are we trusting Brad Keller in the ninth inning? before turning the page to preview the upcoming NLDS showdown with the Brewers, which kicks off in Milwaukee this weekend.A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!Visit Ankin Law's Website ➡️ ankinlaw.comFollow 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.
