Let’s hope the Cubs got all the bad defense out of their system in Monday night’s horrific 8-0 loss to the Braves. This game wasn’t an April Fool’s joke, but it might as well have been.
Mark Zagunis dropped a foul popup in the bottom of the first inning, after which Ender Inciarte led off that inning with a home run.
Javier Baez threw away what could have been an inning-ending double-play relay in that same inning, allowing a run to score and leading the way for two more runs.
