CHICAGO -- Manager Joe Maddon isn't panicking that the young Cubs aren't hitting. At least not yet.
The day after a game in which the Cubs saw more than 180 pitches but tallied just three hits, the Cubs manager said a lot of the team's struggles can be chalked up to the nature of the roster.
"These are young hitters, really young hitters, that are going through a tough moment," Maddon said. "You've got to stay with them. You just keep working the plan, and eventually it comes back to you."
Maddon, who has previous experience as a hitting coach, explained some of his philosophies with regard to hitting before Saturday's game against the Rockies.
