The Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast

Fifth-Best Record, Brewers Out Front & Cubs Search for Power | Bleacher Nation Cubs

Episode Summary

Brett and Michael reunite for the twenty-ninth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! They discuss the Cubs’ recent three-game skid, the challenges of closing ground on the Brewers, and the natural regression of an offense that isn’t getting the same clutch hits—or home runs—as earlier in the year. They also dive into Seiya Suzuki’s second-half power outage despite encouraging hard-hit rates, and what it all means for the stretch run.

Episode Notes

Brett and Michael are back together for the twenty-ninth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! The Cubs dropped their series to the Nationals and opened the Braves set with another loss, pushing their skid to three games. Still, they remain the only team in baseball without a four-game losing streak this season and hold the fifth-best record overall.

The guys talk about the Cubs’ inability to capitalize while the Brewers have been scuffling, and how regression has hit the offense—especially with runners in scoring position and a lack of home run production. They also dig into Seiya Suzuki’s second-half power drought (just one homer in nearly two months) despite strong underlying hard-hit metrics.
