Cubs Minor League Wrap: Matt Shaw rehabs in Iowa

The Cubs have signed shortstop Jackson Cluff to a minor league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. In the eighth inning of the Pelicans game, there was a 32-minute delay as someone in the Pelicans dugout suffered a medical emergency. The person, and I don’t know who it was at the moment, was taken […]

Cubs 4, White Sox 3: Alex Bregman ties it up, then walks it off

Personally, I would not recommend winning games this way on a regular basis. But the Cubs seem to have found the knack for taking leads, giving them up, coming from behind and winning in a walk-off. They did it again Tuesday night at Wrigley Field — including a long rain delay — defeating the White […]

Chicago Cubs history unpacked — August 19

Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Rocky Cherry, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1951 – Wearing uniform number 1/8, forty-three-inch-tall Eddie Gaedel walks on four pitches from Bob Cain in his only major league appearance. Bill Veeck‘s idea of playing the midget was legal at the time but is later outlawed, and other […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Tuesday 8/18, 7:05 CT

Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Bryan Hudson, LHP Kevin Gausman has made two starts for the Cubs, one good (vs. the Royals), one not so much (vs. the Nationals). The last time he pitched in Wrigley Field he wasn’t good either, but… that was facing Cubs hitters! Gausman has […]

Another look at remaining schedules for the Cubs and Brewers

After Monday’s big Cubs win, which moved them to within 4.5 games of the division lead, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this. The Brewers have 37 games remaining, the Cubs 36. As a reminder, the Brewers lead the season series with the Cubs four games to two, and the teams […]

Chicago Cubs news — Conforto, Amaya, Ramirez, Suzuki, Cabrera, Swanson

Today’s Reflections Well. We received the privilege of witnessing an incredible historic achievement. That took some of the sting out of Saturday’s loss. That also made Sunday’s loss twice as bad, however. Matthew Boyd has been really clicking along in four of his last five starts, so he was due to have a bit of […]

Cubs roster moves: Dansby Swanson and Edward Cabrera placed on injured list

As you know, Dansby Swanson left Sunday’s game after taking an awkward swing [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. That didn’t look good when it happened and after the game it was announced that Swanson had suffered an oblique strain and would be placed on the injured list. Swanson had an MRI […]
