The Cubs are back, Dansby Swanson is on a roll, and what’s up with Alex Bregman’s thumbs down?
About this episode
The episode discusses the Chicago Cubs' recent performance, Dansby Swanson's resurgence, and Alex Bregman's recent controversies.
As a heat wave descended upon Chicago, the Cubs turned their games at Wrigley Field into batting practice, setting off some offensive fireworks before the Fourth of July. After questions about whether he should be benched, Swanson has responded with a red-hot stretch. Bregman hasn’t really heated up yet, but he’s in the news for a lack-of-hustle moment and a thumbs-down gesture. And oh by the way, Pete Crow-Armstrong just had one of the best months ever for a franchise marking its 150th anniversary. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break it all down.
