The Cubs have been mired in mediocrity for a while now, but last night’s game was just hot trash. They couldn’t manage to scratch out so much as a single run against a depleted Cardinals pitching staff, and it doesn’t appear as though they’re doing enough to spur more offense. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s not like Craig Counsell and the hitters aren’t trying.
It’s just that they don’t seem to be willing or able to change tack when it comes to producing runs. Even as an avowed member of Team Buck Funting, I would not be opposed to the Cubs dinking and dunking with a little small ball.
