Could the Cubs' Bullpen Sink the Rest of the Team?
The Cubs are off to a 4-2 start this season, but the bullpen has been an issue in nearly every game where it had to do some meaningful work. We knew it was the team's Achilles heel entering the season, but could it be enough to counteract all the justified optimism about the offense and starting pitching. Brett Taylor, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney get into that, and more, on this episode of Onto Waveland.
