    Nico Hoerner and other Chicago Cubs veterans NEED to be better!

    The Chicago Cubs begin a crucial home series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Wrigley Field today, and the stakes are starting to rise as the trade deadline gets closer. The Cubs have shown flashes of being a contender, but if this season is going to be worth investing in, the veteran core has to lead the way. The Blue Jays arrive in Chicago for a three-game series beginning Friday as both teams try to gain ground in their respective playoff races. In this episode, we break down why players like Nico Hoerner, Dansby Swanson, and Alex Bregman need to elevate their performances over the next several weeks. The Cubs can't rely solely on their young talent and emerging stars. The front office will soon have to decide whether this roster deserves aggressive additions at the deadline or a more cautious approach. That decision will depend heavily on whether the veterans start producing consistently. Can the Cubs make a statement against Toronto? Will the veteran leaders step up when the team needs them most? And should Jed Hoyer be preparing to buy at the deadline or rethink the direction of the season? We also answer a few mailbag questions listeners have submitted before we end the show. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    SERIES RECAP: PCA and Dansby Swanson homer to help Chicago Cubs take series over Rockies to win consecutive series

    The Chicago Cubs secured back-to-back series wins with another victory over the Colorado Rockies, and this one featured some much-needed offensive contributions from key players. Dansby Swanson finally broke through at the plate, providing a spark the Cubs offense has been searching for. After a slow stretch, Swanson's bat came alive at the perfect time as Chicago continues to build momentum. Meanwhile, Pete Crow-Armstrong stays red hot! PCA launched a home run for the third straight game, continuing his All-Star caliber season and proving why he's becoming one of the most exciting young players in baseball. His power surge has been a huge boost for the Cubs lineup as they look to keep pace in the NL Wild Card race. In this episode, Cody, Matt, and Dan break down Swanson's game, Matt Shaw's spark the last few days, PCA's month of June, key moments from the win, and what this series victory means for the Cubs moving forward. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Can Chicago Cubs FINALLY win a series this weekend in San Francisco?
