The Cubs soiled the bed yet again in the early game, collecting just two hits in a shutout loss. One of those came from Owen Caissie, who Craig Counsell had been refusing to play over the cooked version of Kyle Tucker. After three weak rollovers to the right side, it looks like Counsell has finally decided to give the struggling right fielder some legit rest.
It’s really easy to criticize from a distance, but this move is long overdue. Not that it’ll matter if the whole team fails to hit.
