Episode Notes
It’s still early, but the Cubs have already overcome several challenging moments and demonstrated so many different ways that they can win. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney are back to explain why this team is absolutely legit (and perhaps a little boring). It starts with up-the-middle defense – Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong – that should never go into a slump. Plus, a look at how Ben Brown has turned around his career and stabilized a bullpen in flux. For the latest information from Wrigley Field, follow this show all season long.
