It's baseball, it doesn't mean we will win every game 10-2 against them. The elements evened things out a little bit this week also.
I don't think it's unfair to be a little disappointed in the offense that series. 9 runs in 3 games (and really 7 if you don't count extras) against the worst pitching staff in MLB isn't good. We've scored a lot more runs in worse conditions against better teams this year. Still a sweep and that's all that ultimately matters but it's silly to just blame Wrigley probs when we only had 4 and 6 hits in two of the three games against a very bad pitching staff

Yeah I get the elements, but I still would have been disappointed if we didn't sweep this team at home. I'm in no way criticizing the Cubs by only scoring 9 runs in the series. I'm simply pointing out that the Rockies getting swept in a series where the other team only put up 9 runs is not great for them. This team may not get to double digits wins 2 months into the season.

I was only able to watch Tuesday nights game but there were at least 3 fly balls that would have been home runs under normal conditions.

I'm not worried, it's 3 games in the cold and the Rockies do have a decent bullpen.

I knew they were bad. I had no idea they were still at 9 wins. Holy cow.

That answer screams I don’t understand how Wrigley works

You're acting like this team didn't score tons of runs in bad weather conditions early in the year. In the month of April they scored 84 runs across 14 games at Wrigley. You can still score in bad weather.
