Saturday notes...
- THE BATS: Since May 20, the Cubs have posted a .343 OBP and scored 100 runs, averaging five runs per game. Unfortunately, that’s resulted in a W/L record of just 8-12 in the 20 games since then.
- THOSE 20 GAMES: The main reason for that 8-12 record is the 122 runs allowed in that span (6.1 runs per game), including 35 home runs allowed. Yikes.
- NOT WINNING THE CLOSE ONES: The Cubs have had 32 games decided by two or fewer runs, just two fewer than the MLB-leading Orioles.
