## Resource

After the giddiness during the Cubs’ two 10-games winning streaks, the entire tone of this campaign has changed dramatically. It’s reflected in the latest batch of questions for Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney, Chicago-based writers for The Athletic. At a time when the Brewers are a small-market machine, Cubs fans want answers on the organization’s process, the team’s identity and the chemistry in the Wrigley Field clubhouse. Listen for a balanced perspective as well as those behind-the-scenes observations. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
