The Cubs continue to play good baseball, but the guys zero in on Addison Russell and what could be a breakout season for the young shortstop.

Heyward is still struggling, but is there reason to worry...yet?  Joel debuts a new segment that ponders "What if?" And today they talk about what the biggest injury would be to this team.

In 60 Seconds with a Former Cub, we revisit the tenure of one Mike Harkey.
