The Cubs lost to the Cardinals 6-0 Tuesday evening in St. Louis.
It was the second straight time the Cubs had been shut out, and sixth time this year.
I’m really struggling to come up with more to say about this game, because Tuesday was almost exclusively focused on the two trades the Cubs did make (David Robertson and Mychal Givens) and the two they didn’t (Willson Contreras and Ian Happ). I will have more to say about the latter a bit later this morning.
Even Marquee Sports Network focused on the deals/non-deals as an interview with Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer spilled over into the first inning, with the game broadcast put into a box on the right side of the screen and the audio kept from Hoyer’s news conference.
