Frank Schwindel stops by the Cubs Weekly Podcast to share what he's been up to the last 2 years since he left Chicago and how his baseball career has panned out.

Schwindel reflects back on his incredible run in the final 2 months of the 2021 season, when he batted .342 and led the majors in hits. What clicked in that moment to put together such an amazing stretch? How much fun was that season and what was it like replacing a Cubs legend in Anthony Rizzo?

Plus, Schwindel explains interactions with Cubs fans - both then and now - while sharing some of his favorite moments during his time in Chicago.

Meanwhile, Tony Andracki and Andy Martínez discuss how the Cubs first base position has evolved since Schwindel's tenure.

The Cubs' playoff hopes have dwindled and we turn our attention to other pressing matters surrounding this team over the final 10 games.

Andy Martínez and Tony Andracki provide their initial thoughts on why the Cubs came up short this year and explain why Isaac Paredes, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Cody Bellinger are the key players to watch down the stretch.

Plus, what does the future hold for Kyle Hendricks? Why was it so important for Justin Steele to come back from the IL and pitch with such little time remaining on the schedule?

All that and more on the latest Cubs Weekly Podcast.
