The Chicago Cubs head west to face the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Friday, August 20th, after a frustrating 3-0 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. The Cubs managed just two hits in that game, and now they face a Mariners staff known for dominating left-handed hitters. The biggest storyline is the status of starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who is day-to-day, leaving the rotation in question for the crucial series.
This episode covers the pitching probables and what Gausman's injury means for the Cubs' rotation, with potential replacements including Javier Assad, Shota Imanaga, Matthew Boyd, and Aaron Civale. Hosts Stephanie and Sean discuss the hitters who need to step up, including Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is in the MVP conversation after a historic leadoff homer in Tuesday's walk-off win, and Alex Bregman, who had his second straight walk-off hit. They also address bullpen concerns, injuries to Matt Shaw (10-day IL), Palencia and Austin (60-day IL), and Hoby Milner and Chris Murphy (15-day IL). The episode includes keys to the series: getting to Seattle's bullpen early, relying on Crow-Armstrong's defense in center field, and staying healthy. Bold predictions include Crow-Armstrong homering again and the Cubs taking the series 2-1.
This episode is for Cubs fans who want an in-depth preview of the Mariners series, including injury updates, player analysis, and strategic keys. Hosts Stephanie and Sean bring daily coverage of the Chicago Cubs, so subscribe, rate, and review the show to stay updated all season. Go Cubs!
