Brett and Michael are back for the twenty-first episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! They recap the All-Star Game, discuss the swing-off format and why it shouldn't make its way into regular-season play, and highlight PCA’s growing voice as a role model. Kyle Tucker’s perfectly flat All-Star demeanor gets a laugh, and the guys check in on the Cubs’ roster and their impressive spot in the standings as the second half begins—owning the third-best record in baseball despite a banged-up rotation.
Brett and Michael are back for the twenty-first episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! They kick things off with a quick recap of the All-Star Game—including the swing-off finale—and explain why that particular twist has no place in the regular season.
They also highlight Pete Crow-Armstrong embracing his status as a role model and how Kyle Tucker’s deadpan, low-energy All-Star presence was accidentally hilarious.
From there, they talk replay review process tweaks, take stock of the Cubs roster heading into the second half, and reflect on the team’s surprising first-half success—owning the third-best record in baseball despite major rotation injuries.
A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!
