While that wasn’t exactly manager Joe Maddon’s conclusion when spit-balling the Cubs’ terrible showing in night games on the road this year with reporters on Tuesday, it might not be far off.
“At night on the road we’ve gotten our butts kicked,” said Maddon, entreating one propeller-head writer to run some calculus on the “mystifying” Achilles heel of the Cubs’ season.
The Cubs are 51-30 at home and 11-8 during road day games.
