One month does not a season make. However, in April, we saw the Kris Bryant who is a former National League MVP. It’s a shame that we are seeing that in what looks to be a season headed for trouble. With Friday night’s loss, the Cubs finished April at 11-15. Certainly, that’s not all together devastating, but this team looks undermanned on both sides of the ball.
In this one, we saw the familiar script play out. Sure, there was a glimmer of hope as the Cubs plated the first two runs. However, the next eight runs were all scored by the Reds.
