Summary

Ronald Acuña Jr. became the first ever player to hit the 40/70 mark and the Braves ran a highlight package in the middle of the game. We have Cubs play-by-play announcer Jon “Boog” Sciambi call in to talk about his reaction in the booth when the Braves paused a tie game in the 10th to run a video montage. We also get his take on whether the Cubs will make the playoffs. Later on, Doug Mientkiewicz joins the show to talk about the Twins impending playoff run, his take on overwhelming young players with analytics, the importance of feeling comfortable in a playoff environment and having veteran leadership, Dallas’s incident with ARod, and more! We’re also elaborating more on the Cubs collapse and looking at the playoff races with four days left in the regular season. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Monday for our playoff preview!
