I’m going to show you one specific play from the Cubs’ 8-2 loss to the Rangers Sunday afternoon before we get into the full details.
Top of the second inning, Rangers leading 2-0, there’s already been an error in the inning helping one Texas run score, runners on second and third, one out.
Trey Mancini is just not a very good right fielder. The ball dropped for a double and two runs scored, and really, everyone could have gone home right then, because the 4-0 lead would have been too much for the Cubs to overcome.
