With a journalism degree from Eastern Illinois University and a decade of Cubs reporting, my work has appeared on 670 The Score, ESPN 1000, and the Pinwheels and Ivy Podcast. I cover Cubs news and analysis for Sports Mockery, including roster moves, game breakdowns, and prospect development.

You know, for all the quality pitching prospects currently in the Cubs minor league system, none of them have been ranked in MLB Pipeline's top-100 prospects list heading into the 2023 season. Well, that is no longer the case after Wednesday's updated rankings because 2022 first-round pick Cade...
The Chicago White Sox split a four-game series against the Houston Astros and sit at 3-3 overall after their first two games at home against the San Francisco Giants. So, what are fans overreacting about, ourselves at the Pinwheels And Ivy Podcast included, after the first week of the 2023 regular...
The Chicago Cubs are making their way through the first couple of weeks of the 2023 regular season without starting right fielder Seiya Suzuki, but his absence in the lineup may not last too much longer. Suzuki, who has been sidelined with a left oblique strain since the start of spring training on...
During Wednesday's game between the San Francisco Giants and Chicago White Sox, shortstop Tim Anderson found himself in a similar spot to Manny Machado from earlier this week and eventually was ejected by the home plate umpire. In the third inning, Anderson was down in the count 1-2 and tried to...
It's almost 24 hours later and I still can't believe David Ross really saw the Cubs get two runners on and asked Patrick Wisdom to bunt with nobody out when the Cubs were losing 7-6 in the seventh inning. What's worse is that his explanation to give the Reds a free out is still dumb. It's actually...
It is Hayden Wesneski's time to shine and I don't think I have felt this confident about a Cubs starting pitcher since 2016. Yes, I am all in on Wesneski being the next big thing for the Chicago Cubs and that's going to begin Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs offense has scored 11 runs...
The best part about the home opener for Chicago White Sox fans was the tailgate outside the stadium because everything that followed was terrible, including a long line to get into the game and then the San Francisco Giants put on their own home run derby against Michael Kopech, leading to a 12-3...
The 2023 Chicago Cubs ended spring training relatively healthy, starting the regular season without Seiya Suzuki, Brandon Hughes and Kyle Hendricks, but the first two may be back in a week or two. However, it has been a tough month or so when it comes to injuries to a handful of prospects in the...
Walking hitters is bad. Walking the leadoff hitter after your team gives you a three-run lead is horrible. Drew Smyly was terrible in his season debut, giving up seven runs, six earned, in 4.2 innings. He allowed nine base hits and walked two batters. Not only did Smyly surrender a 3-0 first-inning...
You know this one felt great for Cody Bellinger. After going hitless in the first three games of the season at Wrigley Field against the Milwaukee Brewers, Bellinger crushed a three-run home run in his first plate appearance against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Bellinger was 0-for-11 in the...
The Cubs open up a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds and Monday's lineup features both Patrick Wisdom and Edwin Ríos, pushing Nick Madrigal back to the bench after he started the last two games at third base against the Milwaukee Brewers. Wisdom is coming off a two-homer game, both solo...
Well, at least Opening Day was fun. We'll always have that undefeated month of March for at the time, our first-place Cubs! The weekend, well, not that good. You think it's too early to overreact? Ha! We're sports fans. We were overreacting after the first jam Marcus Stroman got into in the first...
