A lineup that features Kris Bryant, Javier Báez, Anthony Rizzo, Kyle Schwarber, and Willson Contreras should strike fear into the heart of any opposing pitcher, but not this year, and especially not at Wrigley Field. The Cubs concluded their 2020 home schedule last night with an uninspiring 4-0 loss to the Twins in which Chicago’s hitless wonders could manage just four knocks while striking out 11 times.
Including last night’s dismal performance, the Cubs have hit .211 in 33 home games this year, something that will hurt them in the first round of the playoffs if they win the division.
