2022 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 14

I’ve started seeing some early statistics suggesting that this April is on pace for the least productive month for MLB hitters since 1968. They appear to be using a ball with less carry early this season. Homers and steals down. I’d imagine there are some sample size issues with reading too much into that data. But it would appear that the Cubs aren’t the only one not scoring. But that doesn’t make it much less frustrating that the (not at all) vaunted Pirates pitching staff has held them to just nine runs while winning three of the first four contests between the teams.
