The Chicago Cubs have been on…dare I say it?…a bit of a roll lately. They rode a streak of winning three straight series into Pittsburgh to face the Pirates for a three game set. The Pirates have been every team’s punching bag this season, and the Cubs came in with their hands wrapped and ready […]
Look, we’re going to get some weirdness this season. It’s baseball. Sometimes a really good team gets cold, and another team is just good enough to catch them before they can get things sorted out and steal a game or three.

The Chicago Cubs went into Cincinnati to face the Reds with the knowledge that the Reds have had players miss games over the weekend due to being COVID-19 symptomatic, as well as the debacle that is the Miami Marlins’ 14 positive tests, to begin a four game series.
