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.

Ever since Willson Contreras injured his hamstring on Saturday it made all the sense in the world for the Cubs to sign 2x All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy. On Wednesday, after clearing waivers and getting released by the Angels, the Cubs did just that, picking up the veteran....
It was eventually going to happen, but until it did fans, including myself, were going to complain about Ian Happ not getting back in the lineup and at least trying him out at second base again. Well, that day has come. After sitting for six straight games, Happ is back in the lineup for...
Cubs pitching prospect Brailyn Marquez is in the zone right now. The 20-year-old lefty has elevated his game since the start of July and after getting promoted to high A-Ball, Marquez threw his second straight no-hit start on Tuesday night. Marquez made his debut with the high Single-A Myrtle Beach...
Exactly what the Cubs needed, another injured reliever! Brandon Kintzler has been awesome this year after falling off a cliff in 2018, following his trade from the Nationals. Despite a couple bad outings, he's been the most consistent reliever in the Cubs bullpen in 2019, but now he's heading to...
No, it's not Sammy Sosa even though the #21 should be retired for the Cubs. Anyway, 670 The Score's Bruce Levine reported a few days ago that the Cubs are close to retiring #46 for Hall of Fame closer Lee Smith. The Cubs currently have five numbers retired (for six players) along with the #42,...
See, here's the thing about Ian Happ's defense at second base. If the Cubs have reviewed the video closely and determined he's a disaster out there, then fine, keep him on the bench. However, that's not what the team is saying and even Joe Maddon claims that Happ is still in the mix at second base....
MLB players' weekend is supposed to be a fun thing for not just the players, but for fans too. So, naturally, MLB had to ruin it in 2019 with these bland black and white jerseys that are trash. https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1158792751326085120...
Ben Zobrist played in a baseball game for the first time last Friday for the first time since May and he'll continue his comeback tour in the minors this week at Myrtle Beach. The Cubs announced this next step for Zobrist, who is once again expected to play all three games, starting Thursday at the...
Even when Javier Báez gets fooled he has the ability and strength to beat you. That's exactly what happened not once, but twice on Monday night, when he had his sixth multi-HR game of his career. The first dinger was crushed to left field in the sixth inning, tying the game at two with a 454-foot...
Ever since the Cubs traded for Nick Castellanos and Tony Kemp, Ian Happ has been relegated to the bench, used mainly as a late-inning substitute. It's not an ideal role for a guy who seems to prosper with at least some regular playing time, but hey it didn't show on Monday. Happ pinch hit in the...
You know what the Cubs don't need? Another one of their top relievers being injured. You know what the Cubs might be dealing with? Yeah, another injury to a top reliever. All season long the Cubs have dealt with their fair share of some bad relief pitching and some injuries too. Before Monday's...
Nick Castellanos has been making a lot of hard contact since the Cubs traded for him last week, but he hasn't quite gotten the results to match it. Nonetheless, he's been productive in his first four games with the Cubs, going 5-for-16, with a couple doubles. On Monday night, Castellanos hit his...
