Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Hoerner’s momentum was all wrong, but he found a way.
A slow start and a late push just weren’t enough.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
This one felt like a learning moment, but it’s getting old.
Original observation: “When the Cubs try to rally, it’s always at the expense of their defense.”
