Cubs manager David Ross reached out to Derek Shelton after the Pirates skipper took exception to Ross’ description of his team.
The contending Cubs dropped two of three in a series against Pittsburgh this week. Following the Pirates' 8-6 win on Thursday at Wrigley Field, Ross said:"That’s not a good team that just took two out of three from us — or not our caliber team, I believe."Who wins the NL Cy Young: San Diego Padres' Blake Snell or Cubs' Justin Steele?
"I texted Shelton last night, like ‘Hey, just frustrated after a game,’" Ross told reporters before Saturday's game against Colorado."I've got a ton of respect for every team we play, not just Pittsburgh. Every team can win. I thought I corrected myself within the context of talking to you guys."Chicago went 10-3 against Pittsburgh this season, outscoring the Pirates 101-49. Ross said he was talking more about how his team had played against Pittsburgh this year.
