The Cubs just had their sixth and final off-day of April, which is as many as they’ll have in May (4) and June (2) combined, and now they get their first six divisional games of the season. For context, they’ve already played 20 games against the NL West and will host the Giants and Rockies in May. That means it won’t be until July 28, nearly two weeks after the All-Star game, before the Cubs play more games within their own division than they have against the West.
That’s an exceptional degree of dumbassery, even for a league that routinely sets a new gold standard for poor decisions.
