The Cubs will be playing out the string on the 2019 season now, though, with an eight-game losing streak it’s just status quo at this point. Anthony Rizzo summed up things quite succinctly, sparing me the need to come up with something better.
“You set out goals in the spring you want to accomplish as an organization,” the first baseman said. “We didn’t. We held ourselves to a high standard and it’s up to everyone to figure out why. Why didn’t we come together and win?”
The answers lie right at our feet and there are many, but if you dig deep enough it all comes down to sloppy play.
