The Cubs have scored a total of 16 runs over six postseason games, which is hard enough to stomach all on its own. But when you consider that half of their scoring has come in the opening frame, all against the Brewers, things get downright perplexing. Their only offense in Milwaukee outside of the 1st inning has come by way of meaningless solo shots from Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner. Give credit to the Brewers bullpen where it’s due, but the Cubs playing like offensive camels isn’t a sustainable model.
Or perhaps you prefer the analogy of eating breakfast at a churrascaria and gorging yourself before stumbling through the rest of your day in a meat coma.
