Sara and Andi are back and trying to figure out a Cubs offense that just goes on vacation every other series after a brutal series loss to the Twins where the Cubs only scored 2 runs over 27 innings. They are also looking ahead to a 4 game series in Pittsburgh that on paper favors the Cubs but really feels a lot more tenuous than that as the NL Central race tightens in a lightning fast pandemic baseball season.
