The Chicago Cubs’ season is over after getting swept by the San Diego Padres in the NL Wild Card Series — and the biggest problem was an offense that completely disappeared when it mattered most.After leading MLB in runs during the regular season, the Cubs scored just one run across two playoff games and hit only .129 as a team (8-for-62). Pete Crow Armstrong and Alex Bregman went a combined 0-for-15, while the Cubs struggled to come through in key situations throughout the series.So what happened? Why couldn’t this lineup translate its regular-season success into October? And more importantly, why couldn’t the Cubs execute better situationally at the plate when they needed a big hit, productive out, or simply a quality at-bat?We’ll also break down the pitching decisions, including the biggest question surrounding Clay Holmes: Why didn’t the Cubs use him in the Wild Card Series? With the season on the line, was there ever a situation where Holmes should have been deployed?Cody, Matt and Dan react to the Cubs’ disappointing two-game exit, what went wrong against San Diego, and what this loss means for the Cubs moving forward.312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyvThe Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
