Cubs Talk Podcast: Baserunning gaffes loom large as Cubs miss out on golden opportunity

On the latest episode of Cubs Talk, Tony Andracki and Jared Wyllys recap the Cubs-Reds weekend series at Wrigley Field, culminating in a one-run loss Sunday afternoon. Between Willson Contreras pimping his double and Daniel Murphy getting thrown out in a key spot, the Cubs baserunning issues were on full display in a game they could’ve won and taken advantage of a Brewers loss to add more room in the tight division race.

Plus, hear from Joe Maddon and Contreras himself on the reaction the Cubs manager called “horrible.” You can listen to the whole podcast right here, or in the embedded player below:
