2022 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 35

But we don’t have a lot of experience with a team just suddenly taking off. This team looked left for dead less than two weeks ago when the Dodgers just chewed them up and spit them out in a three game set at Wrigley. The team fell to six games under .500 on the young season at Wrigley and to nine under on the season as a whole. A trip west to San Diego and Arizona didn’t exactly feel like a panacea for what ailed them.
