It was a tough series against the Cardinals, as the Cubs dropped three of four. On the positive side, the Cubs easily could have taken three of four if it weren’t for some shaky pitching.
The moral of the story is that the Cubs know they can compete with the Cardinals.
“The gap is repetition,” Maddon said after yesterday’s 5-1 loss. “They out-compete us experience-wise. That’s it. And we will make that up.”
From catcher Miguel Montero: “I don’t think there’s any gap. I think we compete.”
Of course the Cubs wouldn’t admit if they truly felt intimidated by St.
