Javy sends a message and strikes out to begin the ninth.

Kipnis has an infield hit to keep us alive, and Hoerner pinch runs and steals second.

KC has opened up a 10-1 lead on the Cardinals, so we won't lose ground to them.  We're really limping to the finish line in this division.

Our offense seriously sucks right now.

It really is frustrating that the front office never did anything significant to shake up this offense over the last 4 years. It's been the same thing over and over again. It's really the biggest black mark on their tenure with the Cubs.

Happ, last time I looked was close to or above 300, now he’s hovering around 250.

On the plus side, Kimbrel pitched to one batter.

From 2017-2019, Cubs were 3rd in total runs scored in the NL——not counting the Rockies who are an outlier for obvious reasons. Only L.A. and Nats scored more. Not to mention the excellent 2016 offense.

Don’t let the 2020 offensive woes cloud the facts.

Also, keep in mind that 2020 is a 60-game season, not 162. Basically, we’re in early June in a normal year and there would be time to turn the offense around.

The good thing now is that Cubs standards are so high after a World Championship that the 2017-2019 showing is considered by some as a black mark. A remarkable change of attitude—for the good—for those of us who have been around for awhile!
