I wish I could show you what I had written here prior to the ninth-inning implosion (part II), but it’ll only serve to frustrate you. For the second straight day, the Chicago Cubs blew a huge late-game lead, and ultimately lost everything in the ninth against the Seattle Mariners. Even in Spring Training, that’s no fun.
But what is fun is that Spring Training standings don’t count toward the playoffs, the Cubs recorded fifteen hits with a prospect-laden lineup, and ultimately scored ten runs (more on the offense in a bit).
Moreover, the Cubs who allowed the damage – Seth Frankoff, Dylan Floro, David Berg, and Maikel Cleto – are not significant threats to make the big league roster out of camp.
