The Cubs have lost three of their first four games to open the season, and it hasn’t helped that the losses came as the result of bad starts, bullpen collapses, and a bout of errors. The molten sludge of collective fan reaction has cut a burning swath across various social media platforms. Panic after just four games is silly, approximately two percent of the contests this year have been played. Teams will go 1-3 countless times during a 162 game season no matter how good they are.
With all that out of the way, the Cubs really can’t afford to continue their slow start to 2019 for much longer.
