After a few days of passing off the job, the Cubs bullpen returned Monday night. That is, returned to the role of being the most significant ailment for this team. The offense had been the primary culprit in a weekend series against the Cardinals, managing only six runs across three games. That was particularly vexing because the Cardinals were held to six runs across the three games as well and that could easily have been a series with two or three wins and not just one.
I’ve been having a problem with my MLB.tv app lately. With how bad the team has been playing, I hadn’t worked very hard to fix it.
