Chicago Cubs’ Craig Counsell hope things turn around
During his postgame news conference, Cubs manager Craig Counsell admitted that it’s no fun in the clubhouse right now. But he believes things will turn in the Cubs’ direction.
“Yeah, I mean, look, it’s gonna turn, it’s gonna happen,” Counsell said, via Marquee Sports Network. “It’s no fun, right now, when it, when it doesn’t happen, and when you feel like you have a ton of opportunities and can’t, you know, can’t get a run across.
“It’s gonna turn. And you know that’s, that’s the way you got to look at it. It’s, obviously, you know, you miss opportunities as the hitter, and you’re, you know, mad at yourself. And you know you wanted to want the pitch back, but it’ll turn.”
“It’s gonna turn, it’s gonna happen.”

With the loss, the Cubs dropped to 6-8 on the season. They’re three games behind the Pirates for first place in the NL Central.
With numerous injuries to the pitching rotation, Chicago is wasting good outings on the mound with an underwhelming offense, supposedly the strength of the team. The sluggish start for the offense is a cause for concern.
The Cubs will host the Pirates for Game 3 of the series on Sunday at 1:20 p.m. CT.
