SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — It seems every spring, the confidence of many BCB readers about the offensive prowess of the Cubs is such that some predict they’ll score 900 runs in the upcoming season or even 1,000 runs.
Let’s put it this way. I’ll never say anything is completely, utterly impossible, because it seems every year I see something in baseball that I’ve rarely seen previously, or even never seen before.
But I think I can predict with a fair degree of certainty that when the 2018 season is in the books, the Chicago Cubs will have scored fewer than 900 runs.
