## Resource

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Tyler and Ron are back on MONDAY following Mother's Day weekend. Despite a series loss to the Texas Rangers, the duo came in with high energy as they break down the series. From Ben Brown, to the bats exploding en route to the 10th straight win for the second time this season, Friday's game was a fantastic start to the series. However, a lack of runs, some really good pitching from Jacob deGrom, and some strange calls made for a two-game losing streak to close the weekend. Trade rumors, what if's, and so much more get the guys to the end of the show. Before closing, its a preview of the upcoming three-game set in Atlanta with the Braves, who own MLB's best record.
