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.

Yu Darvish had his most dominant start with the Cubs on Thursday, striking out 14 batters in six innings of shutout baseball. He allowed a two-out single in the third inning and a leadoff triple in the sixth, plus two walks. But that was all, as Darvish shut down the Padres, leading the Cubs to a...
After Joe Maddon decided to bat Tony Kemp at leadoff on Wednesday, he finally went back to the one guy who doesn't ever seem phased by moving to top of the lineup. Anthony Rizzo was the leadoff hitter in the Cubs 4-1 win Thursday against the Padres and he started the game with a walk, scoring in...
Who wanted the ball right after the All-Star Game to get the Cubs off to a good start after the break and then shut down the Pirates? Yu Darvish. Who's been the team's best starter since July? Yu Darvish. Who's completely turned their season around from the worst walk rate to virtually walking no...
Again, why the fuck was Tony Kemp leading off? Because he sometimes makes contact? What? Solid night at the plate, going 0-for-4, with two strikeouts. Pretty much a microcosm of the Cubs offense Wednesday night, as they only got three hits in a 4-0 loss to the Padres. So, in the second inning...
Craig Kimbrel last pitched on Sept. 1, an awful outing against the Brewers as he gave up a three-run homer in the ninth inning to Christian Yelich that secured a series loss for the Cubs. Four days later, after not pitching against the Mariners, Kimbrel was placed on the 10-day injured list with an...
Eloy Jiménez has two home runs and seven RBIs in the first inning against the Royals these past two games. Pretty good I guess. The rookie outfielder once again smashed a home run in the first to give the White Sox a lead and fans got a nice little taste of the future, as Tim Anderson and Yoan...
Before Steve Cishek sent Cubs fans into a blind rage last night the team already had some iffy news about the bullpen. Closer Craig Kimbrel is eligible to come off the injured list on Thursday in San Diego, but that won't be happening. That's not the latest update, though, because it doesn't seem...
At this point it probably doesn't matter who hits leadoff for the Cubs because it seems like whoever Joe Maddon picks instantly turns into a horrible hitter. Yet, somehow Maddon has picked the worst possible option we've seen all season long. The Cubs have less than three weeks left in the regular...
Hey, you remember Jason McLeod, right? He's always the third guy everyone brings up when discussing the Cubs rebuild under Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, as the man in charge of the scouting department for the organization. Well, on Wednesday the Cubs announced that McLeod is changing positions in the...
Hey, at least the good news is that Kris Bryant looked good coming back after getting a cortisone injection in his right knee. Oh and guess who's really good again? Jason Heyward! This is definitely why last night's win felt that much more shitty. The Cubs went up 2-0 on Heyward's 20th home run of...
Steve Cishek was trash against the Padres. After allowing a one-out single in the 10th inning, he walked three straight batters, including the walk-off walk on four straight pitches. Fucking bum ass performance after the Cubs tied the game at eight with home runs by Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward in...
Absolutely brutal news for the Brewers, who will be without Christian Yelich for the rest of 2019 after he suffered a broken knee cap during Tuesday night's game against the Marlins. https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/1171615520719814658 Here's the foul ball that ended Yelich's season....
