About this episode

The hosts discuss the Cubs' recent struggles, player performances, and broader baseball topics.

The Cubs have sunk to yet another low, now losers of 10 in a row, and Oleg and Praz are here to discuss what there is to be done. They wonder why the Cubs called up Kevin Alcantara if they don't bother to ever play him, worry about Ian Happ's inability to hit one of his patented eighth-inning homers when down by eight runs, and debate what's up with Alex Bregman. They also discuss how their inability to find pitching like the Brewers continues to doom them. Plus, how poorly would Shohei have to hit to not win MVP if he wins the Cy Young. All this, and more.
