""He's 0-for-30. Simple as that. You can say there's a lot of line drives in there, but you get to a place of playing every day for a week and not having any results, and it wears on you. It wears on you mentally as much as anything.""
""Sometimes just a day where you're not in the lineup, and you can go in the cage and work, and not prepare for a game that day but prepare to kind of make things better here is helpful, and puts you at ease.""
""Felt really good. When you have the day off, I think you're always trying to stay ready for any spot ... trying to do whatever you can to help the team win.""
Michael Busch started the season with a challenging 0-for-30 streak, prompting Cubs manager Craig Counsell to give him a day off to reset. Counsell emphasized the mental toll of not achieving results and suggested that a break could help Busch regain his confidence. Busch was available to play later in the game and successfully ended his streak with a hit, which was seen as a positive turning point. He expressed relief and readiness to contribute to the team's success.
