Didn’t I tell you that this team would start hitting? That they couldn’t possibly be as bad as they looked for the first two weeks of the season?
After losing to the Braves 5-2 a week ago, the Cubs were 5-8 with a run differential of -25.
Since then? They’ve scored at least 13 runs three times and gone 5-1 with a run differential of +28. So that’s completely wiped out the negative run differential of a week ago, and then some, and with the 15-2 drubbing of the Brewers Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, their fourth consecutive victory, the Cubs are back over .
