“Turn up the old Victrola, gonna steal your heart away.” – Donna Summer, Dim All the Lights
The Cubs once again lost stunningly to the Braves, and it felt like a dagger to the heart of the team’s playoff chances. Defense and pitching have been a big part of Chicago’s success this season, but both have been absent in this series. David Ross is taking some heat for some poor decisions, particularly on X.
Off the top of my head, I’d say Ross has cost the Cubs seven wins this season, and I’m not including his dreaded Sunday lineups.
