Description
Is it time to panic as the Cubs struggle to win games, or could there be a silver lining to confronting some adversity at this point in the season? Then the guys discuss Willson Contreras and whether he's your starting catcher come playoff time. The BP Midseason Top 50 is out and three Cubs made the list...the guys talk about them and the state of the system. Every team faces injuries, but how have the Cubs fared so far this year in coping with theirs? Joel's 60 Seconds with a Former Cub features Andre Dawson. The Question of the Week is about the spike in homeruns allowed and what, if anything, can be done about it. Then Isaac takes us to the At Bat of the Week with a guy who very well might be an MVP candidate.
