  Episode #504

  World Series Contenders?

  Sep 17, 202626 min

  This Cubs season has been lopsided to say the least. Their offense and defense are great but their pitching leaves some concerns. Coincidentally, the 1927 "Murderers Row" Yankees and 1975 "Big Red Machine" Reds were in the same position, so rejoice Cubs fans! On this episode of Cubs Now, Alex and Lance make their case that the Cubs can in fact make the World Series. Also, Wednesday night, Pete-Crow Armstrong became the franchise leader for home runs by a left-handed hitter in a single season passing Billy Williams. Outside of PCA, who else can be an x-factor on offense for the Cubs. Tune in on the latest episode of Cubs Now

  What's Going On With The Bullpen?

  Sep 10, 202627 min

  After blowing two late leads on Monday and Tuesday against the Brewers, it's time to address what is going on with the Cubs bullpen. We know that blown leads can happen, but it's starting to become an area of concern. On this episode of Cubs Now, Lance thinks that velocity is down all throughout the 'pen, Palencia hasn't been the Palencia that we saw in the World Baseball Classic, and is it worth adding Justin Steele or Edward Cabrera into the mix without knowing what could happen? Also, what's the plan with Javier Assad? A lot of questions with very few answers on the latest episode of Cubs Now.

  Sep 3, 202626 min

  On the latest episode of Cubs Now, Alex and Lance take topics that they've seen online, during games, and other various conversations about the Cubs and putting them on a 1 through 10 scale.

Alex and Lance have you covered. PCA and Alex Bregman had an historic August that hasn't been done by teammates since the '60s. BJ Murray collected his first career hit in his MLB debut, and Josiah Hartshorn is breaking South Bend Cubs records left and right. Hear it all on an all new episode of Cubs Now.
