We are happy to join you live from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Performance Studio in front of a live studio audience.

This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 104.3 The Score.

And we've got a lot of people wearing their Cubs gear today in our studio.

We even have, yes, an Alex Brown jersey in the house.

But unfortunately...

The Cubs fans here today did not get to see a win yet against the Atlanta Braves.

Cubs fall 4-1.

They are now 27-16 on the season.

The Braves just continue to look like a buzzsaw.

Poor Shota Imanaga did his best.

Seven innings, only two earned runs, not a walk to his name yesterday, six strikeouts, and unfortunately the one Shota home run because that happens.

But he's not the problem here.

Once again, I think it comes back to the Cubs' lack of offense.

One hit is not great.

That was the first game of the series.

Four hits is not great either.

Two of them belonging to Alex Bregman.

But once again, the Cubs just couldn't play enough runners to get past Atlanta.

Well, again, I think this is a series that tells you whether or not you need to be more active earlier than late July, early August for the trade deadline.

That's how I see this.
