Luke, Kap & Kelly talk through the Cubs first 4 games, when to "pull the plug" on the bullpen, and what's changed with Kyle Schwarber in 2019.
00:00:22
Luke: When is it too early to panic?
00:00:40
Kap: What was the biggest concern we had going into this season? The bullpen. And it has reared it's ugly head and it looks awful.
00:02:00
Kelly: I don't like that some guys have built-in excuses already.
00:03:25
Kap reads off the list of positive signs for the Cubs. IE: Bryant/Schwarber/Baez/etc.
00:06:08
Looking at the bullpen. Solutions outside of signing Craig Kimbrel. How long do they give this bullpen as it's currently constructed?
00:08:28
Breaking down C.J. Edwards struggles and if he would/should be sent down at some point if he continues to struggle.
00:11:00
Tyler Chatwood. What if he's just a 1-inning pitcher now with his massive contract?
00:12:37
Kyle Schwarber looks great early on. Hes says he's back to the "squatty" guy he was and not over-thinking things at the plate anymore. Does he need to be in the lineup every day?
00:18:10
Ronald Acuna Jr.'s new contract and what it could mean for any possible Kris Bryant/Javier Baez extensions. Kap thinks both Bryant & Baez will be extended before hitting free agency.
00:21:30
Expectations for the Cubs record when they return home from Milwaukee next week.
