What's Next for the Struggling Cubs?

2024/06/12

Let's face it: The Cubs have not been a fun team to watch this year. Shota Imanaga is continuing to pitch well, but they're making too many outs on the bases, too many defensive miscues and aren't scoring runs. So what can be done about it? Host Gary Cohen looks at where the Cubs stand (it ain't good) and how they might be able to get better.

Forgetting what "Go, Cubs, Go!" sounds like? The Cubs are mired in their first prolonged slump of the season. The bats have gone cold, dropping the team close to the .500 mark. On the bright side, Ben Brown just spun seven no-hit innings, and Pete Crow-Armstrong won minor league player of the week honors. Also, MLB just made a big change to their statistical database.

The Shota Imanaga appreciation podcast continues, as the Cubs' newest import pitches another gem, Kyle Hendricks is back on the bump and looking more like himself, and the bullpen is struggling.

When the year started, misinformed pundits (like host Gary Cohen) said the Cubs might be a little thin in the starting rotation. But with Justin Steele back, Jameson Taillon impressing, Javier Assad soaring, and Shota Imanaga looking like a Rookie of the Year, the Cubs have moved into a first-place tie. In this episode, Cohen discusses the Cubs stellar staff, examines some improved defensive numbers, and looks back at Kerry Wood's 1998 gem, still one of the best games ever pitched.

Things are going well so far on the North Side of Chicago. The Cubs are 16-9 and have the third best record in the NL. Which is amazing if you look at how this year has played out. The Cubs have been tested in the early going by injuries to key players like Cody Bellinger and Justin Steele, but they continue to find ways to win. We also celebrate Wrigley Field’s birthday and a memorable moment in LA courtesy of Rick Monday.
