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.

Sunday's loss to the Reds was rough to watch, but it only got worse when Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward crashed into each other in the outfield. Bryant got the worst of it, taking a shot right to the head and neck, but the Cubs haven't placed him on the concussion protocol. However, Bryant wasn't in...
The Cubs bullpen had a rough stretch starting in Cincinnati about two weeks ago and the giant weakness of not having a closer was evident in their last home stand. But there's some good news, as Pedro Strop should be back this week to help out the back end of the bullpen. Strop's been out since May...
So, ugh, the Cubs had a new starting right-fielder against the Astros on Monday and maybe you had no clue who he was. Prior to the series-opener in Houston, the Cubs called up Jim Adduci, sending Tim Collins back to Iowa. This was after Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward collided at Wrigley Field on...
Who has a perfect save percentage and hasn't blown a game this year? Tyler Chatwood. Boom. Case closed. Tyler Chatwood is the best closer in MLB. Sorry, that's just how things are now. Well, at least for one day. No, but seriously, it is unbelievable that a year after walking a billion hitters,...
Welington Castillo has been pretty bad this season and White Sox fans have been hoping to see anyone else take his spot. Of course, you don't want to see a guy injured, but after Friday night's game in Minnesota, White Sox fans got their wish. Castillo left after taking a nasty foul ball directly...
Last night we found out that the Cubs were sending outfielder Mark Zagunis to Triple-A. Before Saturday's game the Cubs officially announced the move, while also sending right-hander James Norwood back to Iowa as well. The Cubs need as many fresh arms as possible, so they've called up right-hander...
Hey, remember Manny Bañuelos? Of course you do. You maybe thought he was going to be decent and had two good starts against the Orioles, but then he came crashing back to Earth, giving up 19 earned runs (8 HOME RUNS) in 11 innings during his next three starts. He was then placed on the injured list...
Mark Zagunis made the Opening Day roster and hell he was even in the Opening Day lineup against the Rangers. It was a cool story, but the Cubs quickly found no use for him and the right-handed hitter has basically just been a pinch-hitter for the last month and a half. He's 9-for-35, and has only...
I mean, Theo Epstein is eventually going to make a trade for bullpen help, but until he does the Cubs have to survive knowing that they can't trust more than one or two relievers in any given game. At this point, the rotation has to be close to perfect and even with the offense averaging five runs...
The Cubs welcomed the Reds to Wrigley Field on Friday by dropping bombs on starter Anthony DeSclafani. Kyle Schwarber has been great since the last week of April and now he's hitting for power again too. Schwarber lead off Friday's game with another rocket to give the Cubs a quick 1-0 lead....
After using Tyler Chatwood for 4+ innings on Wednesday and then five relievers Thursday following Jon Lester's short outing, the Cubs needed a fresh arm in the bullpen so they've called up James Norwood. Rowan Wick, who made his Cubs debut on Thursday, has been sent back down to Triple-A Iowa to...
This entire series we were treated to the most horse shit umpiring I can remember. From missing an obvious swing on what should have been the last out of Monday's game to all around incompetence calling balls and strikes. I know that J.T. Realmuto is one of the best pitch framers in the game, but...
