I shouldn’t have to dig into glass half full/glass half empty discussions after the first weekend of the season. Alas, here we are. The Cubs scored 28 runs in their first 27 innings of the season. The 1999 Cleveland Indians were the last team to eclipse 1,000 runs in a season (1,009). The single season record if you include 19th Century baseball is 1,220, if you don’t, it is 1,067 by the 1931 Yankees. 28 runs in three games has the Cubs on pace for 1,512 runs.
Of course, the Cubs pitchers allowed 23 runs in three games.
