Another Updated Farm System Rankings List Sinks the Cubs
Just as it was with the updated farm system rankings at ESPN, the new Baseball America rankings - which update for the draft, the Trade Deadline, and in-season developments - are relatively unkind to the Chicago Cubs. You'll notice they...

Kyle Schwarber Homered THREE Times Last Night and Is Having a Monster Season
It's been a while since we've checked in on any of the former members of the Cubs core. Though that's mostly because the main (and still active) guys — Javier Baez (one of the worst hitters in MLB), Kris Bryant...

Kevin Alcántara Swats His First Triple-A Home Run
Although overshadowed by the absurd hot streak Matt Shaw was on before the group promotion, it's worth remembering that Kevin Alcántara was also pretty darn hot at Double-A. Over his final five weeks at Tennessee, Alcántara hit .319/.416/.489/167 wRC+, striking...

Ian Happ Goes Deep! (Nice Catch on the Homer, Too)
Ian Happ just sent one over the wall in right, strutting as he did. Bonus fun on the two-run blast, the fan who caught the ball did a mini circus job, preserving his beer in the process (which, obviously, he...

Michael Busch Homered So Hard He Made the Pitcher Jump
I'm not saying Joe Ryan was leaping in fear from the sound of Michael Busch's blast. But I am saying that his hop in reaction to the rocket certainly made me chuckle as I watched. Homer number 16 on the...

Hey, the Cubs Signed Adrian Houser
When the New York Mets let Adrian Houser go last week, it was pretty easy to wonder whether the Chicago Cubs would look to pick him up. There's the laundry list of pitching injuries for which Houser could provide cover...

As Michael said last night, the win over the Twins on Tuesday just felt kinda breezy most of the night. Like the wind through which Isaac Paredes hit his first home run with the Cubs. Shōta Imanaga pitched well, the...
