Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein to discuss the importance of resting catcher Willson Contreras, the early success of former Cubs prospect and current White Sox rookie outfielder Eloy Jimenez, the decision to split the start against the Mets on Thursday night between right-hander Tyler Chatwood and top pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay on and much more. (6/20/19)

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted their daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about whether it was a mistake for manager Joe Maddon to rest catcher Willson Contreras in the Cubs' loss to the White Sox on Tuesday or if it was a move that proved to pay off because of Contreras' two-homer game in a win Wednesday. The guys then debated which statement is more true in the aftermath of the split two-game series between the North Siders and South Siders: The Cubs aren't as good as we thought or the White Sox are better than we thought? The morning crew also discussed whether shortstop Tim Anderson's failed attempt to steal third base in the game's fifth inning killed a potential White Sox rally. The guys then had a conversation about White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolitio's rough outing against the Cubs -- does it affect his All-Star status and momentum in this breakthrough season? Finally, the guys shared predictions for which player the Bulls will select with the No. 7 overall pick the NBA Draft on Thursday. (6/20/19)
