The Pulse Ep. 11 | Anxious: Can the Cubs Just Win Two Games

The regular season is over.

The Cubs are in.

And now? Nothing else matters.

Chicago stumbled down the stretch, finished as the 5 seed, and now heads to San Diego for a best-of-three Wild Card series.

The assignment couldn't be simpler:

Win. Two. Games.

On Episode 11 of The Pulse, Neil talks about the anxiety of October baseball, why everything that happened over 162 games gets thrown out the window, and why he still believes this Cubs team can make some noise.

📈 Trending Up: Alex Bregman announces he's back with a 4-for-4, two-homer performance in the regular-season finale, while Pete Crow-Armstrong officially makes history by joining the 40/40 club.

📉 Trending Down: Caleb Thielbar and the bullpen remain terrifying heading into October. Plus, Neil asks an uncomfortable question: Does Tyrone Taylor give the Cubs a better chance to win right now than Ian Happ?

👀 What I'm Watching: Two wins. That's it. Go get 'em.

❤️ This week's Pulse: ANXIOUS.

Confident. Resilient. Connected. Enduring. Committed. Validated. Humbled. Chaotic. Broken. Hungry.

Every emotion brought us here.

Now the Pulse is racing.

Let's go win two damn baseball games.
