The Cubs have been able to keep their frustrations in check during a tough stretch, according to manager Craig Counsell. However, this philosophy was put to the test on a Saturday afternoon at American Family Fields when Cubs starter Justin Steele allowed the Brewers to come back in the game after giving up the lead in the third inning. Despite trying his best to maintain composure, Steele showed his frustration by yelling as he walked back to the dugout and let out another scream before heading down to the clubhouse.
The Cubs’ self-inflicted errors contributed to Milwaukee’s comeback. A leadoff single, a stolen base, and a misplay allowed the Brewers to score two runs. Despite Steele escaping further damage by striking out two batters, his frustration was visible as he expressed his anger on the field.
The game highlighted the importance of controlling emotions and staying focused during difficult moments. The Cubs will need to regroup and work on minimizing mistakes in order to bounce back from tough losses like the one against the Brewers. It is a learning experience for the team, as they aim to improve their performance and maintain composure during challenging situations in future games.
