The Cubs have to deal with some glaring issues
About this episode
Where to begin? Cubs closer Daniel Palencia is now on the injured list, though his recent performance was already putting his bullpen role in doubt. Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong seemed to benefit from their mental resets, but then the All-Star outfielders got hurt. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney explain how Cubs manager Craig Counsell is looking at the bullpen situation, and why he is sounding frustrated with the offense. It raises a question: Does this team look ready for the playoffs?
