If it isn't one problem for the Chicago Cubs… it is another. At the beginning of the season the Cubs starting pitching was fantastic. It still isn't doing horrible, but they are cooling off greatly. Samardjia may only have one win, his numbers show he could have at least two more. So why is he 1-3? Because the Cubs hitting is the worst in all of baseball…. next to the Brewers at this point.
After the Cubs started to figure out some of the hitting issues, which it appeared they did in the first game of the Brewers series, they started to not hit when it counts. They left five runners in scoring position. The only time they scored in the game was off of lead off homeruns. The only reason this is an issue in the 4-5 loss is because they led off every inning of the game after the second with a person reaching base. Hopefully this can get ironed out.
Now in the second game I already knew I was going to have a hard time watching because of the obvious frustration I have been having with the club. But I did it, and only to my dismay. Now the Cubs are first in errors in the whole league. They had three errors in just this game alone.
Game three was just as much of a blunder as the first two. Errors occurred everywhere and rumors started flying on social media that Castro and Rizzo may be sent down to the minors.
There is no reason to be upset with a series sweep. That happens a couple times a year for every team. What Cubs fans should be flustered about is the means in which they lost. They had horrendous series and nothing seemed to go the way they wanted.
Maybe this is a good thing? The Cubs should go out of their way to make errors to maintain the only first place position that they hold… And the Sox fans wonder why Wrigley needed to be built next to a bunch of bars.
I have said it before and I will say it again. It is time to jump on the band wagon of another team.
