The Cubs are undertaking their first split-squad action of the spring as they welcome the Angels to Sloan Park. Something about this game seems oddly familiar, like there’s a really salient facet to it that carries a little more significance than a normal exhibition.
Maybe it’s because the Angels are experimenting with an amazing golf ball whacker guy.
As cool as that is, it’s not what I was thinking of initially. Besides, Mike Trout isn’t even playing in this one.
In any case, the Cubs are going with what looks almost like a regular-season lineup in this one.
