It’s a doubleheader day for the Cubs, so get yourself ready for a whole lot of Cubs baseball. I don’t think the Cubs are going to be swept by the Padres today, but I’ve been thinking about the fact that the Cubs have lost only six games this year, and half of them came against the Braves and Rockies. Further, two of those three came in a series loss to the Rockies at home – the Cubs’ only series loss of the year so far. I’ve been thinking about it because I couldn’t help thinking it would be so baseball for the Cubs to drop two in this series, and then the only two series losses so far for this juggernaut of a team would have come against the two teams at the bottom of the heap in the NL West.

Totally random thing I noticed:
Player A: .255/.374/.392, 103 wRC+
Player B: .234/.360/.387, 95 wRC+A is Addison Russell
B is Joey Votto— Brett Taylor (@BleacherNation) May 11, 2016
Chris Coghlan is hitting .165/.243/.320 for A's. (sad face)
At least he's due for some positive BABIP regression (.185, 5th lowest in MLB).
