Locked On Cubs - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Cubs

The Cubs managed to sweep the Mets Thursday night on a Jason Heyward walk-off win in extra innings and then followed up the dramatic win with a 15-2 dubbing of the Brewers to kick off an important three-game set. With the NL Central lead on the table, the Cubs offense has started clicking at the right time with Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff on the bump for the Brewers this weekend. We preview the weekend series, recap the last two wins for the Cubs, and touch on the importance of having a contact-first hitter like Nico Hoerner on the roster - who was called up to replace Joc Pederson who hit the 10-IL with wrist tendonitis.

The Cubs need their offense to carry them to wins this season and so far it is failed to answer that call, but if the current pitching performances are an indication for anything - it's clear the Cubs need their offense to be much better to win this division. We name Willson Contreras the Locked On Cubs Player of the Week after a four-homer week and discuss how crucial his bat will be going forward for the Cubs. And finally, we learned that Javier Baez reportedly turned down an extension worth $180 mil, which already looks like a mistake on Baez' part after a rough start to his 2021 season.

The Cubs were propelled to a 3-2 win over the Brewers Tuesday night after a two-run home run from Willson Contreras in the 8th inning. But after a hard-fought road win on Tuesday the Cubs followed that effort up with a 7-0 loss to Brewers and dropped their third series on the season. So we bring on Ryan Davis to help us see how this team is still somehow 5-7 after a terrible start at the plate in 2021.
