It was the same old story for the Cubs Monday night against the Twins. We’ve seen this so many times. The Cubs had a positive series against the Cardinals over the weekend. So it should be unsurprising that they came up completely empty on Monday against the Twins. Momentum is difficult in baseball, to be sure. It’s not like the Cubs are some kind of aberration. But the problem is, this team had two very rough months and they’ve been trying to dig their way out.
This issue isn’t particularly new either. The Cubs offense mustered four hits and two walks against the Twins.
