The Cubs struggled to get their footing over the first three weeks of the regular season and have been searching to find a way to get back on track.
It’s true that over the course of 162 games teams have periods of ups and downs, but one area of concern for the Cubs has been their inability to play complementary baseball during their first 15 games, where both the offense and the pitching play well together.
In the Cubs’ first two series, the starting pitching led the way while the offense sputtered out of the gate. As the pitching has scuffled over the last week, the bats look like they’re beginning to slowly come alive.
