The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to bounce back after a tough sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers, leaving fans wondering if the magic has slipped away. As they prepare to host the Chicago Cubs this evening, the stakes are high within the competitive NL Central, and both teams are eager to turn their fortunes around.
The Cubs, too, have had their share of challenges. Following a pair of impressive winning streaks that both reached ten games, they recently experienced a rough patch, culminating in a ten-game losing streak. However, the team showed resilience by clinching victories in their last two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, proving they are not a squad destined for a 14-game slump.
In a recent podcast discussion, I spoke with Cubs content creators Paul “Crawly” Dzien from Fly the W and Jared Wyllys from CHGO to delve deeper into the complexities of the Cubs’ season. Their journey has been a roller coaster, marked by significant highs and lows, yet both guests remained unfazed about the upcoming series with the Cardinals. They expressed more concern over their own roster issues than the potential resurgence of St. Louis.
During our conversation, I attempted to provoke some apprehension regarding the Cardinals possibly regaining their trademark “Devil Magic” following the Brewers series. However, both Jared and Crawly remained focused on their team’s needs, refusing to let any anxiety about the Cardinals creep in. Instead, we wrapped up the podcast by reminiscing about our favorite and most frustrating moments from this storied rivalry, inviting listeners to share their own memories in the comments.
As we move forward, there may be adjustments to our podcast posting schedule, and I will keep everyone updated.
