The Cubs started off the 2019 baseball season with a losing series of 1-2 against the Texas Rangers, a series the Cubs were projected to sweep. The pitching in the first two weeks of play was detrimental to the team. However, the players were and still are hitting well. After struggling with the pitching staff, the Cubs decided to put Happ back in the minor league and try and work out some kinks with Darvish. The outlook is brightening; the Cubs swept their most recent series against the Marlins and advance their record to 8-10.
