In the first 10 games of the season, the Cubs had a 6-4 record and one of the top offenses in the league. Since then, the Cubs have gone through a sharp decline and are now 9-13. The Cubs players who went on hot streaks cooled down, and the Cubs are playing at the level many people expected them to. …

The Bulls’ 2022 season ended in the first round of the 2022 playoffs–a 4-1 series loss against the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks.

There are many positives to take from the Cubs’ first nine games of the 2022 season. The hitting approach, for the most part–compared to the past couple of seasons–has drastically improved. The Chicago Cubs rank in the top half of most offensive categories very early in the season. The Cubs are first in batting average, first in on-base percentage, fourth …
