The 2021 Cubs on-again-off-again season is perhaps the most bizarre in the team’s history. This season can go either way at this point.
Here’s how it breaks down week by week: 4-3; 2-5; 4-3; 2-5. They are 3-0 to start week five.
In one span, the North Siders lost three of four to Pirates, two of three to the Brewers and two of three to Braves. Then they swept the Mets. They have lost to back of the rotation starters and won against top-tier guys. They pound Huascar Ynoa one game and then can’t hit him the next.
