Cubs pitchers are giving up a lot of hard contact in 2019

The Cubs have not gotten off to the best possible start in 2019. This, you surely know.

In good news, they appear to have fixed whatever was broken with their offense at the end of 2018. After all, they’ve scored a National League Central leading 72 runs through the first 10 games of 2019. However, the pitching has been less than stellar, giving up a National League Central leading 71 runs in that same span. Most articles so far have rightly focused on the bullpen. That’s understandable, after all, multiple losses in games where the team has scored 10 runs will cause that sort of evaluation.
