## Resource

The Chicago Cubs looked poised to secure a big win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, but another bullpen collapse turned a promising afternoon into a frustrating loss. In this episode, we break down what went wrong in the late innings, the key moments that shifted the game, and why the Cubs' relief corps continues to be a major concern. With the season moving into a critical stretch, the Cubs cannot afford repeated bullpen meltdowns if they want to stay in the playoff race. We'll discuss the performances of the relievers, potential solutions for manager Craig Counsell, and what needs to change moving forward. Can the Cubs fix their bullpen issues before they become a season-defining problem?
