Cubs 12, Brewers 0: Cade Horton is ready for the season
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 […]

Cubs 7, Mariners 1: Colin Rea’s ready
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 […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Palencia, PCA, WBC

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 […]
Cubs prospects power past Padres in Spring Breakout Game, 7-5

Seiya Suzuki will not be ready for Opening Day
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 […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Amaya, Ballesteros, Boyd, Taillon
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 […]
