In season 3, episode 70, Crawly and Dustin recap the Cubs' series sweep over the Pirates that saw their offense explode in three straight games against some good pitching. The Cubs also had a comeback for the ages in the series finale Wednesday thanks in large part to catcher Christian Bethancourt's heroics. Crawly and Dustin then discuss the impact that center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and catcher Miguel Amaya have had on the Cubs with their improved hitting and the importance of having patience with younger players. Later, the guys discuss the latest Cubs news and roster moves, including reliever Julian Merryweather landing on the injured list and left-hander Drew Smyly being put on waivers. They also preview the upcoming Cubs-Nationals series with a look at the pitching probables, key matchups and who's hot and who's not for each team.
