## Resource

Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down another frustrating Cubs loss as Chicago drops an extra-innings heartbreaker, 2–1, to the Giants—losing yet another home series in the process. The guys dive into the growing concerns around Alex Bregman, who’s struggled mightily since signing his five-year, $175 million deal, and what it means for the Cubs’ lineup moving forward. They also discuss a major blow to the pitching staff, as Jameson Taillon exits early with a hamstring injury, adding to the rotation’s instability. There are a few bright spots, though—Javier Assad delivers a strong relief performance, and Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to shine as one of the team’s most promising pieces. With the Milwaukee Brewers tightening their grip on the division, Dan and Matt look at the uphill battle ahead for the Cubs and what needs to change fast. Plus, a quick look ahead as the Cubs get an off day before heading to Colorado to open their next series. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows and Doors at the Best Price.
