Chicago Cubs: Don’t hit that panic button just yet – it’s still early
At .500 through the season’s first 12 games, the Chicago Cubs have underwhelmed out of the gates. But it’s still far too early to panic.
After dropping two of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs’ 2018 season is off to, well, a pretty lackluster loss. The offense has been hot and cold – evidenced this week when the bats hung 13 runs on the Pirates only to manage a lone tally in the finale.
Kyle Schwarber and Ian Happ accounted for five of the team’s seven hits. The former blasted his  third home run of the season, raising his average to .270. Happ, meanwhile, continues his hit-or-miss start in his first full Major League campaign.
