About this episode
Former Cubs pitcher Steve Cishek was a special guest on the latest edition of the Cubs Weekly Podcast. Cishek joined Andy Martínez and talked about his time in Chicago, his career as a whole and what he’s up to now. Cishek shared what it was like to play for manager Joe Maddon in his tenure with the Cubs. Later in the pod, Cishek shares an epic story about reliever Pedro Strop during the 2018 playoff hunt and what the righty went through just to pitch. Cishek shared his own story of being available to pitch seemingly every night — he made 150 appearances for the Cubs in his two seasons. He also spoke about what it was like to represent team USA at the World Baseball Classic.
