In the spirit of BCB After Dark, done ably by Josh and Sara (and Sara promises to return to After Dark this season), I am today beginning a new occasional feature: BCB This Morning. What is BCB This Morning? Basically, it’s an article intended to stimulate discussion when I don’t have a specific topic to […]
Good morning.
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Today in baseball history: Gary Matthews Jr. is traded to the Cubs, and other stories. Cubs Birthdays: Peaches Graham, Cy Slapnicka, Johnny Moore, Pat Bourque, Mike Remlinger, Joel Peralta. Today in history: *pictured.
Cubs right-hander Cade Horton, who shapes up to be the No. 2 starter after Matthew Boyd begins the season, had an excellent six-inning outing against the Brewers Sunday at Sloan Park. Okay, so it was against a team of Brewers minor leaguers, as all the MLB Brewers had departed for Milwaukee Sunday, as they have […]

Colin Rea threw four efficient innings Saturday night in Peoria, Arizona and the Cubs defeated the Mariners 7-1. Rea threw 77 pitches (50 strikes) and generally looked like the solid pitcher he was for the Cubs most of last year. He’ll be in a long relief/spot starter role to begin the season and he seems […]
Ryan Brasier needs a job. This is said to be a blister issue: There was some weirdness with the MLB.TV signal. Ended up watching the Mariners telecast. Game results: Cubs 7, Mariners 1. Cubs 7, Padres 5. Miscellaneous: *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on […]
The Spring Breakout game may be the most fun game of Spring Training and the Cubs prospects hit four solo home runs to beat the Padres prospects, 7-5 at Sloan Park. Will Sanders started for the Cubs and he was impressive, throwing his fastball at an average 95 miles per hour, which is about 2.5 […]

This was announced late Saturday afternoon by manager Craig Counsell: Obviously, this isn’t good news, though it seems possible that this IL stint won’t last too long. Earlier the team had said the injury was “minor,” but they obviously aren’t taking any chances. This means that possibly all three non-roster outfielders, Dylan Carlson, Chas McCormick […]
We’re less than a week from Opening Day when the Cubs will welcome the Nationals to Wrigley Field to kick off the 2026 MLB season. It’s warming up around Wrigleyville and delivery trucks are arriving by the dozens to prepare the baseball park at Clark and Addison for millions of fans to watch baseball over […]
MESA, Arizona — On an day when the Phoenix area tied its all-time March temperature record of 105 degrees — set the day before! — and the Cubs game at SloanPark was moved from afternoon to evening, the team got shaky pitching outings from Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon and lost both of their split-squad […]
Game results: Reds 8, Cubs 6. A’s 6, Cubs 2. Well, that was no bueno. At least the televised game started out well. I made a bad coin flip and started out listening to the Reds game. Boyd wasn’t exactly good Friday night. Taillon wasn’t much better. Miguel Amaya had some juice. Al will have […]
