First, a quick shoutout to Bleacher Nation for pointing out these quotes I’m about to rant about. Because after sitting in the seats Sunday and being treated to another game where – no, it’s not the loss that bothers me – it’s the fact that, yet again, the offense was completely predicated on the home run.
After seeing their 2015 season end at the hands of the New York Mets, the Cubs went out and added two key veterans in Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward, hoping to help stabilize an offense that led all of Major League Baseball with 1,518 strikeouts.
