Dingers: A Chicago Cubs Podcast - Episode 117: One Run Short

Welcome to the latest episode of Dingers, In this episode, we discuss the Cubs' sweep at the hands of the Marlins. Despite having multiple opportunities to win every game, the Cubs failed to hit with runners in scoring position, leaving runners stranded on base.

We examine why their inability to execute in clutch situations is a concern and how it's impacting their chances of winning games. However, it's not all doom and gloom. We also discuss the positives from the series, including the strong offense and starting pitching, with Justin Steele leading the way.

We also dive into Cody Bellinger's productive weekend at the plate and Nico Hoerner's impressive on-base streak, which he extended to 25 games.

Join us as we break down this incredibly frustrating series for the Cubs and explore what they need to do to turn things around and start winning games again. Don't miss this episode of Dingers!

On May 6, 1998, Chicago Cubs rookie Kerry Wood took the mound at Wrigley Field for his fifth career start. As the 20-year-old Texan mowed down an Astros Lineup with the Killer Bs of Bagwell, Bell and Biggio, red and blue K signs tracked his efforts out in the left field bleachers. That day, Tom Bujnowski, a middle school P.E. teacher, brought his original broken bat K signs to The Friendly Confines for the first time ever. By the end of the game, Wood had tied the Major League record for most strikeouts in a game, and Bujnowski's K signs would be featured in highlights of the game for the next 20+ years.
