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.

Without Jose Quintana, the Cubs don't win the division last year and once again he's coming up big in the most important time of the season. His dominance against the Brewers continued Tuesday night and it also extended Quintana's success over the past month. Let's begin with the Brewers. In his...
Nothing is more unpredictable than the postseason in baseball and that includes the minor leagues too. Last night the Eugene Emeralds, the class-A short season affiliate of the Cubs, won the Northwest League Title in what has to be the most devastating way possible. For the other team anyway....
I mean, this wasn't even a feasible thought two weeks ago, but right now it's fact and I still can't believe I'm saying this, but the Chicago Cubs are better off giving Victor Caratini more starts in place of Willson Contreras. Of course the caveat is that this is only true for the moment. I'm not...
I'm not sure why Addison Russell wasn't in the game in the seventh inning, with Javier Baez moving over to second for Daniel Murphy, but he was in there in the ninth and made an amazing play that gave Cubs fan a new favorite GIF. With a 3-0 lead over the Brewers, Ryan Braun stepped up with one out...
I mean, where do you even begin? Let's just break down how everything is going great for the Cubs right now. They have a 1 game lead in the division after being up 5.5 games nine days ago Steve Cishek hasn't been good the past few weeks Carl Edwards Jr. can't throw strikes Justin Wilson might be...
The bullpen looks awful right now, well it's really Steve Cishek and Carl Edwards Jr., who have been great all year long, but are all of a sudden shaky at best. It doesn't help that Brandon Morrow's been out for almost two months, but there's finally some positive news, well kind of. Wednesday will...
Drew Smyly had Tommy John surgery in June 2017, and after signing with the Chicago Cubs in December, the lefty was hoping to return at some point near the end of the 2018 season. The Cubs didn't expect him back until 2019, but Smyly was optimistic, as he pitched in simulated games throughout August...
Jose Abreu is back in the starting lineup for the White Sox after being out since Aug. 21. The all-star first baseman apparently had emergency surgery to save one of his testicles. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/1037112871082242048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1037112...
It needs to stop. Again, just like the time I wrote about Albert Almora Jr. starting against righties, I hate being the angry Cubs fan complaining about the lineup, but this is another head scratcher from Joe Maddon. So, after a disastrous weekend against the Washington Nationals that included a...
I've mostly been pretty positive through all the major injuries the Cubs have dealt with this year, but for whatever reason Brandon Morrow's stint on the disabled list since July hasn't ever felt good. The last two updates obviously don't help out the optimism, but hey at least Morrow finally threw...
One of the great stories from this season has been the emergence of Jason Heyward at the plate. After two frustrating years, Heyward finally became a solid offensive player for the Cubs, to go along with his gold glove defense in the outfield. However, it looks like he won't be returning until the...
So, I'm texting a friend during the game last night and after every field goal I had the same thought. You can't continue to waste these opportunities in the red zone because that's how you lose when you don't have the better QB. That was especially true in the second half, when the Bears began the...
