What we’re hearing: How the Cubs are lined up for the stretch run
About this episode
The episode discusses the Cubs' current standing and playoff prospects as they approach the end of the regular season.
With three weeks remaining in the regular season, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney assess where the Cubs stand on Labor Day, and how they would match up against the first-place Brewers in a potential playoff rematch. The Athletic beat writers also provide information on the state of the pitching staff, as the Cubs have to prepare for the possibility of making it through four postseason rounds. Who would you trust to start a playoff game? And what should they expect from Justin Steele, Shelby Miller and Ben Brown moving forward? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
