Wrigley Rapport Podcast

After pulling defeat from the jaws of victory in game 1, I rant about the highway robbery of Addy’s Triple, @RyanTadych visits to talk trades, and I let loose the secret to beating out the Brewers down the stretch. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/u26beufe0fbig-cynical-benu2122ud83dudc3b/support

We go through the rotation and how the Cubs can stabilize the production on the Hill through what their defense does behind it. Plus we talk to @ryan_tadych about the flurry of MLB trades.

What brought the Cubs together to have the best record in the national league in spite of injury and slumping super stars? @bigbenkc has the answer and takes a look at the potential Outfield for the 2019 Cubs.

I break down how managers like Joe Maddon use patience and confidence to bring the best out of slumping players, and @Ryan_tadych stops by and we throw down over whether or not the bullpen is being overused to preserve the starting rotation.
