It was the best of timing, it was the worst of timing. Under other circumstances, Kris Bryant’s measured, forthright response to a question about concerns over the Cubs’ performance would have served as something of a rallying cry. The only trouble with it is that Bryant’s team promptly went out and soiled the sheets against the Indians Tuesday night.
To call the Cubs’ effort flaccid would be an insult to the target demographic of sports talk radio. Not that any of it is Bryant’s fault in any way or that his words are any less accurate as a result, but, man, things could have worked out a little better.
