The Cubs probably didn’t deserve to win this one, but perhaps the baseball gods finally had mercy after killing nearly every hard-hit ball by the visiting team in this series and game. After drawing six bases-loaded walks in one inning yesterday, a feat that should have led to a win, [...]

Injuries continue to be the story of the Chicago Cubs' 2024 season. The latest injury for the Cubs was third baseman Christopher Morel, who was removed from Sa [...]

The Cubs drew six bases-loaded walks in the 5th inning last night on a total of 26 pitches, which is something I haven’t seen outside of low-level rec ball. How they still managed to lose with the Pirates pitching that poorly is beyond me, but I suppose it had something [...]

The good news is that the Cubs get a member of the starting rotation back today. The bad news is that Kyle Hendricks has pitched to a 12.00 ERA over just 21 innings across his five starts so far. The other bad news is that Jameson Taillon was scratched from [...]

The Cubs and the Pirates played a truly bizarre game on Saturday that featured a highly anticipated MLB debut and a two-hour-plus rain delay. Chicago was able to erase a 6-1 deficit in an unusual seven-run 5th inning but couldn’t hold the advantage and would eventually lose by one. The crowd [...]

Jaxon Wiggins – Pic by Rich Biesterfeld I can see light at the end of the tunnel for school. I am down to 10 days left and I’m starting to get a little bit more ready in terms of things that I want to write about this summer. I’ve started to [...]

The Cubs plan to activate right-hander Kyle Hendricks from the 15-day injured list tomorrow, manager Craig Counsell told reporters (including Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun Times) following tonight’s game. He’ll start tomorrow’s game against the Pirates opposite left-hander Bailey Falter. The Cubs will need to make space for Hendricks [...]

The Reds lost a key piece of their starting lineup just before the season began when infielder Matt McLain underwent labrum surgery back in March. As relayed by Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer, McLain recently discussed his timeline for return with reporters, although he’s still a ways away from [...]

From Kamka: First time the #Cubs have drawn 4 bases loaded walks in an inning since April 12, 2009 at Milwaukee@WatchMarquee— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) May 11, 2024https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js And now we wait out this rain delay to see if they do some more! [...]

Brett Bateman – Picture by Todd Johnson Heading into the 2024 season, everybody and their mother knew that most of the Cubs top prospects would be situated at Tennessee and Iowa. Those guys garner most of the attention and publicity, as they rightfully should. But some things are happening in South [...]

Carlo Reyes – Pic via Charleston Dirty Birds No sooner than I finished getting yesterday’s prospect profiles ready did the Cubs sign another free agent pitcher in Carlo Reyes. The former Dodger and Phillie was assigned to the Cubs ACL team but don’t expect him to stay there long. Like Jake [...]

Jake Wong – Pic via Grand Canyon University Jake Wong is a little bit longer in the tooth than most normal minor league free agents. The 27-year-old right-hander was originally taken by the Giants in 2018. The third round pick was very successful in the lower minors before ending up in [...]

When Michael Busch and Miguel Amaya collided in the top of the sixth, allowing a potential pop out to fall harmlessly to the ground, it felt like a big moment had passed the Cubs by. The Padres had runners on first and second against Shota Imanaga, who’d pitched a brilliant game [...]

The Cubs acquired minor league right-hander Jake Wong from the Reds late last week, according to the transaction log at MLB.com. He is not on the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old made his organizational debut with Double-A Tennessee. Wong entered the professional ranks as a third-round pick of the Giants in 2018. Cincinnati [...]
