About this episode

The episode discusses the Chicago Cubs' bullpen struggles during a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after leading 3-0.

The Chicago Cubs had a 3-0 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers — and somehow managed to let it completely slip away. In this episode, we break down a brutal night for the Cubs bullpen and how the game unraveled after Chicago put itself in position to win. Daniel Palencia’s outing is a major focus, as the right-hander once again struggled in a critical spot and put even more pressure on a bullpen that simply could not hold the line. Palencia allowed 2 runs in just 2/3 of an inning, continuing a troubling recent stretch. We'll look at how the Cubs blew the 3-0 advantage, the biggest mistakes from the bullpen, Craig Counsell's decisions, and what this loss could mean for Chicago as the Cubs continue their push against the Brewers and toward October. Was this just one bad night, or is the Cubs bullpen becoming a legitimate postseason concern? 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
