I know it hasn't b🐎een a good year overall for Kyle Hendricks, but𓃲 much of that was wrapped up in some deep early-season struggles that were alleviated by a stint on the IL. Since the start of June, Hendricks has...

Top Chicago Cubs prospect Matt Shaw quickly turned his 20-20 club membership into a 20-30 club membership by stealing his 30th base of the season. These are all completely arbitrary cut-offs, of course, but they do make fo🍸r fun factoids:...

I have seen people referencing this as one of the worst baserunning mistakes ever, but that strik☂es me as a little hars𝔍h, given the circumstances. I'll grant, though, that I've never seen one quite like it. Most bizarre? Yeah, I'll...

The Milwaukee Brewers officially clinched the NL Central with yesterday's Cubs loss. It's been all but accomplished for months now, and I will grit my teeth to dust conceding that what they accomplished this year𒐪 - despite all the injuries,...

If I neꦏeded confirmed for me that, in my heart, I know the season is over, today did it: I felt completely emoti♉onless about the Cubs blowing their lead. I was just shrugging as I watched. So I guess, yeah,...

Being that he's starting this a🗹fternoon for the Chicago Cubs, we knew Justin Steele (elbow) would be activated from the﷽ Injured List today. But he's not alone, as reliever Jorge Lopez, who'd been rehabbing at Iowa, has also been activated...

The Cubs have another arm at the ballpark today, and we♕'ll see if he's being activated. //twitter.com/ryan_a_herrera/s༒tatus/1836427502366916741 With Iowa, Wesneski put up good numbers, but that was generally expected. He's demonstrated he can cruise at that level at this point....

Thanks to the season-long con🍸stant flurry of minor league pitching additions, I wouldn't blame anyone who doe✨sn't remember the Cubs signing big righty Antonio Santos earlier this year. The Cubs nabbed Santos out of the Mexican League, where he'd been...

I have reached the age where, if you notice something weird or concerning on or in your body, you pretty much leap to get it checked out by a doctor. I would 🌺say here that I have some weir𒊎d thing...

There are so many joking angles to take on this one, but I'm not sure which of them would get me into trouble. So I'll just stick to the facts on something I've certainly nevꦫer seen happen before. Houston Astros...

[ankin_law] Craig Counsell said that if Justin Steele was healthy after his throwing sessions this past week, he was going to return to the rotation. Well, he's healthy: //twitter.com/TonyAndracki23/status/1836🐼153101444644896 The return. Although it may not matter in the final accounting.👍..

With precious little season left for the Cubs to, sure, try to make a postseason run, but also more realistically to get certain guys some at bats or innings, the🌟 Cubs are swapping out relievers before tonight's game. Daniel Palencia,...

Baseball America's Hot Sheet celebrates the best prospect performances of the week, and it's no surprise that Matt Shaw makes the cut aꦉfter the scorcher he put together. What's particularly delightful, though, is that he nabbed the very top spot...

It's no secret that, overall, it's been a down seaꦫson for Dansby Swanson. The offensive results haven't matched last year, which also weren't quite where you hoped they'd be. Some weird early-season issues on defense also clouded things a bit....

Multiple birthday celebrations for The Littlest Girl this week means multiple opportunities for cake, which means multiple opportunities toꦛ make Very Bad Food Decisions. Be strong, son. Be strong. He got all the love yesterda🐷y around here, but then Michael...

Legal news from the overlapping world of sports betting and player likeness rights, as the Major League Baseball Players Association has filed lawsuits against a handful of operators. The news, originally from Law360, via Front Office sports: //twitter.com/FOS/status/1836023693220151579 In es🌼sence,...

The Chicago Cubs returned to Wrigley Field last night to open up the final homestand of the year. Shōta Imanaga dominated the A's, and theܫ Cubs' bats showed up in force in a 9-2 win. Things prooooobably aren't going to...

The Cubs brought the bats home with them from the road trip, scoring quickly and profusely in tonight's blowout win. The Cubs had six runs before the second inn🐷ing was over, and just about everyone got in on the fun...

The Cubs opened up the second inning by going single, single, single, single, a𝐆nd already had a three-run lead on the A's when Dansby Swanson came up. He did not join the singles party: //twitter.com/Cubs/status/1835836908783480950 One of those earlier singles,...

Although he has long been celebrated for his glove and his feet, Pete Crow-Armstrong has been showing off his considerable 𓆏offensive upside for a ൩month and a half at this point. He continued the run yesterday in Colorado with homer...
