About this episode

The episode discusses the Cubs' recent performance against the Dodgers and assesses the state of the team one month into the season.

While it’s too soon to label this a playoff preview, the Cubs got an up-close look at the two-time defending World Series champs. With the Dodgers ending the 10-game winning streak that showed a lot about the Cubs’ resourcefulness, it’s time to reset and assess what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong. One month into a new season, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney sound the alarm bells about the state of the pitching staff while also explaining the key elements of this good start.
