The Cubs were one-hit in their 4-0 loss to the Brewers last night and, to a man, looked lost at the plate. Is there any wonder that there’s no sense of urgency to extend any of the core? Through five games the team is struggling to hit .135 (not a typo). In last year’s shortened season, they hit .220, concluding in disappointing fashion by scoring just one run in their two-game postseason sweep at the hands of the Marlins.
That hit wasn't enough to get the Cubs out of the cellar in terms of batting average.
