Could say that about any pitcher the Cubs face on the road. This team is garbage on the road.

This is like 2018 all over again when the offense disappeared for the 2nd half of the season. Even their 1 win in this series was dogshit. The first 2 games were a competition of which team wanted to lose more than the other.

If this is what its like for the next 2 months, and there's no reason to believe it wont be because its been like this all season outside of 1 good run after the first sweep of the Cardinals, then I wont at all be surprised if someone like Baez is traded to retool the lineup and bring in more contact.
