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.

The last time I talked about Albert Almora Jr. I was complaining about how Joe Maddon insisted on starting him against right-handed pitchers and batting fifth despite his awful numbers since the start of July. Well, since then Almora has shut me up pretty good and hopefully he does it again because...
Kyle Schwarber is no stranger to smashing things like baseballs, car windshields and stuff at Wrigley Field. Last year he knocked out a light on the Budweiser sign above the right-field video board and on Tuesday he broke some glass in a patio area at Wrigley Field. During Tuesday's batting...
I get it, Ryan Dempster is in the booth getting ready to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame," and he's trying to be funny. Completely understand that Dempster is still trying out his stand-up routine, but there's one big problem. You can just make shit up nowadays to set up your joke because it's...
The Chicago Cubs have had a couple big umpire disputes in the last 10 days or so and the latest controversy leaves more question marks than answers. In case you missed it, on Tuesday Ben Zobrist got really pissed off with Phil Cuzzi on a blown strike three call. Zobrist, who almost never gets...
Even when David Bote isn't hitting walk-off grand slams, he's doing something great for the Chicago Cubs. Whether it's getting on base, hitting for power, making highlight reel plays on defense, or scoring on a wild pitch that's only a few feet away from home plate, Bote is doing everything right...
Yu Darvish's long road back to the Chicago Cubs finally has a timetable and if all goes well the next two weeks he should be rejoining the team as early as Sept. 3. Darvish threw another simulated game Tuesday, throwing three innings and pitching coach Jim Hickey revealed the next and hopefully...
Right now it's a long shot that Terrance Gore will be the last guy on the 25-man roster for the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs, but if the team makes it to the postseason and decides to put him on it you know exactly when he'll be used. On Wednesday, the Cubs traded for Gore, sending cash to the...
The Chicago Cubs had a terrible 7-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, but there was one badass moment that you can at least smile at if you're a Cubs fan. In the sixth inning Ben Zobrist was called out on strikes and surprise, the home plate umpire got the call wrong....
Maybe I jumped the gun on the Ben Zobrist comparison, but so far David Bote is making me look smart and Joe Maddon is already thinking about the future that will hopefully make me look even smarter. Following Sunday night's ridiculous walk-off grand slam by Bote against the Washington Nationals,...
All right, so think about how frustrating some parts of the 2018 season has been for the Chicago Cubs. OK, now multiply that by 1,000 and you kind of have an idea of how Washington Nationals fans feel. You can't ask for a team with more talent and yet the Nationals are currently outside of the...
I just can't comprehend why anyone would get so mad about a bat flip, but for whatever reason some fans think it's disrespectful and that includes Darin Pritchett, who happens to be the South Bend Cubs radio play-by-play announcer. Pritchett got the radio play-by-play duties starting in 2015, when...
Last night David Bote hit his first career walk-off grand slam and it was an ultimate grand slam, as the Chicago Cubs were down 3-0 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. https://twitter.com/TitanicBaseball/status/1028843854580121600 Bote now has three home runs this season and the last...
