The Cubs scored six runs in Tuesday’s game. Entering action Tuesday, the Cubs were 22-6 when scoring six or more runs.
So they won, right?
Well, no. First, this is a very different Cubs team than the one that put up that 22-6 record. Second... Coors Field, where the Rockies entered the game with a 33-20 record, one of the best home records in all of baseball.
So the 13-6 Rockies win over this depleted Cubs team was perhaps expected, if a bit depressing.
I’m not going to write a traditional recap of this game because, well, what you’ve read above sums things up pretty well.
