More games at the Cubs' expense

In the unlikely event you just stumbled upon this blog and didn't know anything about me, you might think from the last two posts that I hate the Cubs. I don't, but I do enjoy using small sample sizes to point out absurd things like this.

Here's the BA/OBP/SLG for two groups, the 4-5-6-7-8 hitters in the lineup (Lee, Bradley, Fontenot, Soto, Miles) and for the starting pitchers. See if you can figure out which one is which:

Group 1

.202/.280/.351
.186/.329/.371
.222/.319/.414
.175/.305/.200
.208/.265/.273

Group 2

.278/.376/.500
.231/.286/.231
.154/.213/.231
.111/.111/.111
.000/.063/.000

Okay, I guess the slugging percentages are something of a giveaway. But still, it's kind of absurd to go to a game Harden's pitching and have his be the 4th highest batting average in the lineup.

Also, come back soon, Big Z. The lineup needs you.
