Wednesday night marked a tough loss for the Cubs and their fans to digest.

The offense had a good night and the team’s record-setting ace was on the hill, yet the Brewers still escaped with a 10-6 win.

That left the Cubs with a 10-16 record in May and dropped their overall season slate down to .500 again at 28-28.

Marquee Sports Network analyst Cliff Floyd – who played 17 years and more than 1,600 games in the big leagues – provided a honest assessment of the team’s recent stretch on Cubs Postgame Live! Wednesday night.

“When you’re not playing the type of baseball that you typically play and what we saw early in the season when this team was, in my opinion, like whoa, this is a really good team,” Floyd said on the show. “Then you had some injuries and so forth.

“When you start going down this road, detouring a little bit from what you typically do, you’re gonna have boneheaded plays. It just happens. You know why? Because you’re trying to make something happen. And you’re on eggshells because you don’t want to make a mistake.”

Floyd talked about how he feels like the Cubs as a group are playing tentative.

He mentioned Seiya Suzuki’s baserunning gaffe in the 5th inning, where the Cubs right fielder ran into the first out at third base on a ground ball by Cody Bellinger that would have been a hit. The Cubs scored 2 runs that inning – including 1 on that play – but Suzuki’s out on the bases took away the potential for more.

“Seiya made a mistake, for sure,” Craig Counsell said after the game. “…In a game like that, when you’re trying to come back, we gave away an out there. You got to be clean. If you’re down in a game by 6 runs, you better be pretty clean the rest of the game to win the game and we weren’t clean enough to win the game.”

Floyd also touched on the players on the roster that are slumping, like Dansby Swanson – a 2-time All-Star with a $177 million contract – hitting 8th in this lineup over the last week.

“All these things add up,” Floyd said. “When you put all these ingredients together, you have a team that’s a little tentative. And I get it. It makes sense when you look at it on paper and go, man, at what point does 9 hits and 6 runs get you a win? Because it should.”
