Cubs Series Recap: Keep Out The Brooms, Bullpen Struggles, Walker AAA Updates, & More

Thanks for joining us for this Memorial Day Weekend episode and our thoughts are with those servicemen and women that have lost their lives in service to protect the freedoms of this wonderful country. 

Today we will be recapping the recent 2 game sweep of our rivals, the Chicago Cubs. We start off quickly covering the postponed 1st game of the series which may have ultimately set the tone for things as it pushed back the start of their ace this season, Imanaga and gave us a real opportunity to set the tone the next day. 

Moving on to Game 2, we highlight the overall performance of the offense in what was easily the most exciting game of the season for fans capped with a 4 run eighth with the help of a timely pitch hit RBI from Carpenter and highlight reel slide from Burleson. We also talk about the bullpens cracks that began to appear and bled into the next game.

For Game 3, we find ourselves talking heavily about Cardinal Killer Happ and our former MVP Goldy who were the real stars of the game. We touch on Sonny having to come out early despite a stellar line to that point and the ambiguity surrounding what may or may not have happened with the rain delays and what not. We also dive deeper into Helsleys recent issues and if its possible he's tipping pitches. 

Finally we take a look down at the farm to check in on Walker and see how he's doing while also shifting focus to another important upcoming NL Central series on the road against the Reds.
