The playoff buzz is back at Wrigley Field
About this episode
What an atmosphere. In taking control of their National League Wild Card Series, the Cubs restored the big-game energy at the Friendly Confines. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break down Tuesday’s Game 1 win over the Padres. Between the huge swings by Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly, Craig Counsell’s bullpen usage and Dansby Swanson’s momentum-shifting defense, the Cubs showed their blueprint for October.
