On this episode of the Cubs Talk Podcast, James Neveau, Nate Poppen and Peter Marzano discuss the Cubs’ performance over the last few weeks and how the rest of the NL Central as the season winds down. Will the Cubs get that coveted playoff spot? Later, they break down the current struggles of pitcher Drew Smyly and discuss if they should keep him in the rotation.
