About this episode
The Cubs offense is in the sunken place without promise that it will get out (see what I did there) anytime soon. But who is to blame? The players? The coaching staff? The front office? Ownership? The Cubs Talk crew of David Kaplan, Maddie Lee, and Gordon Wittenmyer break down the continued woes of the offense and who is to blame for it being not just bad but historically bad.
(2:00) - Is it surprising how bad this offense is?
(7:55) - Has Jed already started thinking tear down and rebuild?
(15:10) - Is there pressure on the pitching staff to be perfect since the offense isn't performing?
(21:15) - Was ownership and the front office expecting a start like this?
(26:00) - Will a team call the Cubs soon to trade for a core player?
(34:40) - When will Jed pull the plug on this team?
