Epstein: Struggling Cubs pressing at the plate

A year ago, the Cubs had a 16-15 record and were one game back in the National League Central. There was talk about how the team was dealing with a World Series hangover after the successful 2016 season. On Monday, the Cubs have the same 16-15 record but find themselves 3 1/2 games back and scuffling unexpectedly on offense and defense. The starting pitching hasn’t found its rhythm either.
