Welp, the Cubs were back at it last night, jumping ahead twice with a pair of two-run shots and doing little else as the bullpen failed to keep the Reds at bay. Is that distilling it a little too much? Probably, but the end result is the same even without nuance. The fact of the matter is that they simply aren’t very consistent.
That goes for Justin Steele as well. The lefty was victimized by bad defense when he faced the Reds in the Cubs’ lone win of their series at Wrigley, though he put himself in a very poor spot.
