It's somewhat hard to believe the Cubs threw their 3 best starters (at the moment) in this series against 3 very ****** starters and are going to get swept.
Next time the Cubs lose several games and everyone blames it on "playing x games in x days", remember this series and how the Diamondbacks played at the tail end of a 17 game stretch.
I don't think I know that story. Or maybe I knew it and forgot.
I agree though that what is being said behind the scenes could be completely different than what we are made privy to.
This series just reinforces how much I hate Chase Field, dating back to being in the stands when Schwarber blew out his knee and now continuing into the Cubs playing like absolute crap.
That's the thing with baseball though. All the ra ra speeches in the world probably aren't going to get a team to suddenly start hitting the ball. When a team doesn't hit, they look dead. And this looks like a dead ass team right now.
I just caught an inning or two on the radio and Pat Hughes was discussing how the goal would be to get within 3 games of Milwaukee going into the final series. I applaud his optimism. 🤨
