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.
