## Resource

The Cubs’ hot start has cooled into a slump, leaving them in third place with injuries and offense dragging them down—but manager Craig Counsell sees it as a chance to build resilience, learn, and adapt. Unlike his Brewers heydays, this season’s struggles are forcing deeper player connections and quicker adjustments. Even as veteran Dansby Swanson battles offensively, his presence and recent two-run homer offer hope—and a reminder that playing through tough times is where real growth happens.
