Baseball is weird.

That is one of the main takeaways our Cubs Weekly Podcast panel (Elise Menaker and Tony Andracki) had from the 4-game set with the Pirates at Wrigley Field.

Menaker and Andracki analyze a few key areas of the roster coming into focus — including the batting order and bullpen. Plus, reinforcements could be on the horizon and Keegan Thompson’s breakout season.

The Cubs’ next 14 games are all against playoff contenders, so we will learn a lot about what this team is made of during this upcoming stretch.
