Here’s yet another example of why Spring Training results mean nothing.
The Cubs returned from Japan — where their bats were pretty silent — and played five games at Sloan Park, in which they were outscored 35-13, and lost four of the five.
Two days later, the Cubs smashed out 12 hits and drew six walks, scoring in double figures in a 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
Now that’s the way to start a season... er, if the season hadn’t already started with the two losses in Tokyo.
