About this episode

Nate examines the impact of injuries on the Cubs' pitching staff and the effectiveness of their replacement pitchers.

The Cubs entered the season with a plan for their pitching staff... but injuries had other ideas. In the debut episode of The Margin, Nate takes a closer look at just how many innings have been thrown by replacement pitchers after key members of the Opening Day rotation landed on the injured list. Has the Cubs' depth been enough to keep them in the race, or is the margin beginning to shrink? The Margin is where we look beyond the headlines and evaluate what really leads to winning baseball. Chasing Wins, Not Stats. 🎙️ The Margin is part of the Club 1:20 Network.Subscribe for weekly Cubs analysis, commentary, and more original shows covering everything Chicago Cubs baseball. #ChicagoCubs #Cubs #MLB #Baseball #TheMargin #Club120Network
