CINCINNATI – Cubs manager David Ross’ final post-game media availability of the 2022 season carried a bitter-sweet tone.
“It’d be nice to be popping champagne at some point; that’s where we’re trying to get to,” Ross said after the Cubs’ 15-2 win against the Reds on Wednesday. “But these guys are true fighters. I told them that after the game. They’ve fought a lot of adversity, a lot of change, a lot of up and down, a lot of guys making their debuts, going through what it’s like to get through 162.”
