Cubs third baseman Christopher Morel’s sacrifice fly with runners at second and third in the sixth inning Sunday had the looks of a hit off the bat.
And that would have been the case 77% of the time, according to Baseball Savant. But the wind at Wrigley Field knocked the ball down, and what could have been multiple runs turned into one.
That has been the story for the Cubs of late. The offense can’t seem to put them in position for a big-scoring inning.
That the Cubs are 26-22 is a testament to their pitching staff.
