What does it take for the Chicago Cubs to turn their season around and make a serious playoff push? Join us as we dissect the bullpen's performance since June 27th and explore the team's potential to manufacture runs and convert close losses into wins. We discuss the challenges the Cubs face with stronger teams like the Mets, Braves, Padres, and Diamondbacks vying for the wild card spots and look into the team's inconsistent performance and roster uncertainties, including Jack Neely's recent debut.

Shifting gears, we celebrate the resilience of the Dodgers, who have remarkably maintained their division lead despite a slew of injuries. With standout performances from stars like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and a resurgent Gavin Lux, the Dodgers' depth and strategic roster decisions have kept them in the hunt. From Clayton Kershaw's impressive return to the strategic considerations around Walker Buehler's role, we break down how the Dodgers are gearing up for October baseball.

Lastly, we dive into the fun and creativity of Players Weekend, from Jock Peterson's crayon bat to Jackson Merrill's lightsaber bat. We also reflect on Joey Votto's announcement to retire, celebrating his illustrious career and impact on the sport. We appreciate all our listeners' support and share exciting plans to enhance the podcast, including live shots from different ballparks and engaging classic game discussions during the offseason.
