Brutal timing of Cubs slump has fans fearing another playoff meltdown

The Chicago Cubs' offense has disappeared at the worst possible time. Back-to-back home runs saved the Cubs in Game 1 against the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card series, but other than that, the series has been defined by the team's hitters looking overwhelmed. Ahead of a decisive Game 3 on Thursday night, Cubs fans are reminded of just how bad things have been for the starting lineup over the last two days.

These players have been non-existent this series:

PCA:
0/6
5 SO

Tucker:

2 SO

Shaw:
