The bad Cubs lost 20-5 to the pitiful Reds on Thursday. The score might have been an anomaly. The loss wasn’t.
The Cubs lose at home (7-15), they lose in one-run games (4-11) and they lose interleague games (1-4).
They strike out a lot, and they give up a lot of home runs.
They have some players I’ve never heard of, which isn’t a problem. That their parents haven’t heard of them is.
If you’re Cubs management (and I’m sorry if you are), what’s worse: To say you’re rebuilding or to say you’re awful at your job?
