From Division Chase to Wild Card Push, Cubs Still Hold Strong | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Brett and Michael are back for the twenty-seventh episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! They discuss the rocky start to the Giants series, including Matthew Boyd’s rough outing despite San Francisco’s struggles against lefties leading into the matchup.The guys also dive into the subtle shift in expectations as the Cubs pivot from chasing the NL Central crown to focusing on locking up the top Wild Card spot. Despite offensive regression and continued struggles at the plate—both for Michael Busch individually and the lineup as a whole—the Cubs still hold the fifth-best record in baseball and have avoided the kind of collapse that can sink a season. They wrap up with some positives too, including the sweep of the Angels.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.
