Cubbies Crib

The Chicago Cubs completed a very strange series in Pittsburgh this past weekend as the pitching was good and the offense was cold. Kind of the opposite of last week's show.
Unfortunately, the big news today is Yu Darvish with more injury complications. Right now the Cubs have what looks like a playoff rotation set even without Darvish, but will his absence hurt the Cubs in the end? We will discuss on the show.
As for the team, the schedule is coming down to the last 39 games of the regular season and the race is still fairly tight between the Cubs, Brewers and red-hot Cardinals.

On a less-fun note, the starting pitching continues to struggle. The team is put in holes on a daily basis and these comeback wins are happening often because of the starters struggling. What is causing this and how can they turn it around? On paper the rotation is great, the execution has not been there. All of this and more on Climbing the Ivy!

Cubbies Crib editor Jake Misener joins Alex Patt to fill in for Adam. The Chicago Cubs start to the second half has not been terrible, but not great. Starting pitching has not been efficient as a whole while the offense has had its ups and downs. Notable slumps of Albert Almora and Addison Russell certainly not helping things, will they turn it around anytime soon?
August 8th is a very historic date for the Chicago Cubs. Alex and Jake will go on a little bit of a journey through time to talk about this particular date. All of this and more on Climbing the Ivy!

The 2018 MLB deadline has passed! Join Alex Patt, Adam McGinnis, William Chase, Cody Delmendo, Matt Aung and J. Corey Francis on a roundtable adventure!
Moves have been made and the status of many teams seems clear…while other may not be. Of course we will begin with the moves the Chicago Cubs have made including Cole Hamels and Brandon Kintzler.

We then will move onto the rest of the league and see what moves were surprising and how they make a difference in the playoff race. Did the Brewers, Pirates and Cardinals make moves that directly impact the Cubs chances? There is certainly a lot of debate to be had here.
