Errors continue to plague the Cubs this spring.  The Cubs played 2 split squad games on Tuesday – a 4-2 loss to the Rockies & an 8-1 win over the A’s.  In each game, the Cubs committed 2 errors.  That brought the Cubs error total to 29 this spring.  29 errors in only ?!  That is unacceptable.  The Cubs 29 errors are tops in the majors this spring – not a stat you should be proud of…
