Description
All you can do is beat the team in front of you, which the Cubs have done 10 of 13 times this season. It must be said, however, that they haven't played the toughest competition in those 13 games. Michael Beller, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney consider the Cubs record against the company they've kept on this episode of Onto Waveland. They also talk about David Ross' role in the team's hot start, and the challenging turn in the schedule over the next two weeks.NOTE: This episode was recorded before news broke that another Cardinals player tested positive for COVID-19, postponing Friday's game. We present the podcast in its entirety and are staying on top of this fluid situation.Rundown1:28 Judging the Cubs' 10-3 Start4:20 Have the Cubs Re-Found Themselves?6:18 David Ross Has Earned the Praise15:01 Ball Bouncing in the Cubs' Favor17:13 What to Watch for Over the Next Two Weeks20:32 The Weekend Ahead in St. Louis (We Hope)24:42 Cubs' Creation of a Clubhouse Outside the ClubhouseFollow Michael on Twitter: @MBellerFollow Sahadev on Twitter: @sahadevsharmaFollow Patrick on Twitter: @PJ_Mooney
