## Resource

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Tyler and Ron are back following... wait for it... a CUBS SERIES WIN! For the first time since early May, the Cubs have won a series, taking two of three from the San Francisco Giants. Brilliant pitching from Ben Brown and Javier Assad is applauded, the bullpen gets some love, and Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to be the Cubs' most consistent offensive producer. This is hopefully a huge step forward for the Cubbies. Some Josiah Hartshorn love, Las Vegas baseball discussions, and more fill in the gaps before the boys preview the upcoming series against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. SUPPORT THE SHOW!
