The simCubs dropped a winnable game by a score of 4-2 to the simReds Friday at simWrigley, repeatedly failing to launch in run-scoring situations and in fact not hitting the ball especially well, in a pattern we’ve come to know and love, where they flail at hittable pitches and swing at bad balls on 3-2. Meanwhile the Reds made the best of two consecutive opportunities after failing with the bases loaded once themselves, with ex-Cub Nick Castellanos delivering a run-scoring single and scoring on Eugenio Suarez’ towering blast to left. The Cubs scored a couple of runs late but they were too little, too late and the Reds went on to victory.
