Three things to watch in June, a potential make-or-break month for the Cubs
About this episode
The episode discusses the Chicago Cubs' upcoming month of June, focusing on player performance and schedule opportunities after a tough May.
After expectations soared with two separate 10-game winning streaks early in the season, the Cubs crashed in May, falling out of first place and erasing nearly all of their cushion with a 10-game losing streak. June represents a new opportunity with a softer stretch in the schedule and starting pitchers potentially getting healthy. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break down the month ahead, with a particular focus on Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman, based on conversations with those players.
