Bielema has stopped eating after 5 p.m. He’s taking walks and doing cardio twice a day.

    Pete Crow-Armstrong? Check. Kyle Tucker? Check. Anyone else from the Cubs going to make the All-Star team this season? At least a few other guys — Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, Carson Kelly — have been making cases for themselves. In this week’s “Polling Place,” your home for Sun-Times sports polls on the social platform X, we asked how many Cubs will get to Atlanta for the Midsummer Classic.

"We definitely should win the division," one Cub said, "but we have to go out and play the games." If the Cubs are taking back the Central, this Brewers series is a fine time to make it clear: https://t.co/3It15ByE5q
