The Chicago Cubs are absolutely on fire and the boys are asking the big question: is this historic run actually sustainable? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman dive into the Cubs’ nine-game winning streak, their dominance at home and what’s fueling the best record in baseball. Plus, they discuss the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays and whether they can seriously challenge the New York Yankees in the AL East.
Then it’s time to go around the league. The guys break down the Yankees calling up towering prospect Spencer Jones and debate whether the Bronx Bombers may have found another version of Aaron Judge. They also discuss the latest on Tarik Skubal after his successful elbow surgery before opening up the mailbag to answer your best questions from around the baseball world.
To close out the show, Good, Bad & Uggla makes its glorious return. The boys chat about Jim Palmer, Kazuma Okamoto, the painfully struggling offense of the San Francisco Giants and plenty more chaos from another wild week around MLB.
