Locked On Cubs

The Cubs swept the Reds in a four-game series at home for the first time since 1945. That seems noteworthy. Sean Sears and I discussed what went well in their last few games, including a lot about the pitching. Alec Mills was outstanding in his first big league start, and the Cubs are going to give him another shot in the rotation. In the second segment, we gave some injury updates on Kris Bryant, Brandon Morrow, and others. The Cubs could be in really good shape once September starts, if all goes as planned.Later in the second segment, we talked about a handful of pitching prospects that have really stepped up and played well this year in the minors.

In the final segment, we updated the standings and issued a minor correction from a previous podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
