Tyler Zombro was hired as the new Cubs' Special Pitching Assistant, and since the hire, there has been a lot of buzz. But why? What makes him so special? How will he help the team now? Marquee Sports' Lance Brozdowski joins me to talk about how much this will help Cubs' pitchers.

After another disappointing 83-win season, the Cubs feel like they are in a hopeless battle to improve an impacted lineup in order to truly compete for a playoff spot.
But are they really that far away from being a playoff team and potentially a World Series contender? I compared some key stats from the Cubs to the 2024 Champion Dodgers to try and answer these questions.

Daniel Moskos and Tommy Hottovy are 2 of the best at developing pitchers internally. Despite a season filled with difficulties and injuries, the Cubs were still able to lean on unexpected heroes on the staff.
In the bullpen, it was: Porter Hodge, Tyson Miller, Jorge Lopez, and Nate Pearson. In the starting staff, fairly unexpected superb seasons from Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon kept this team in the playoff conversation.
I sat down with Daniel Moskos to discuss how the Cubs are so good at developing pitchers internally.
