With only nine games remaining on the Cubs' schedule, manager David Ross is showing urgency in the National League playoff race.
Following Chicago’s 8–6 loss to the Pirates Thursday night, Ross expressed frustration over losing a late-season series to an under-.500 team (72–81) that trails the Cubs by seven games in the standings.
“That’s not a good team that just took two out of three from us,” Ross said to reporters, per ESPN’s Jesse Rogers. “Or not our caliber of team, I believe. We have to turn it around. It’s on me. It’s on the guys in the room.”
