Remember back in the 2016 season, when the Chicago Cubs were kicking ass left and right? Now, think back throughout this season and how many times you, or another Cubs fan has complained about the team. Well, after sweeping the San Diego Padres, the Cubs head off to the all-star break with a 2.5...
The home plate umpire for Sunday's game between the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres hasn't had the best strike zone and that includes not really giving pitchers calls at the bottom of the zone. Joe Maddon had enough near the end of the game. After Justin Wilson was squeezed in the bottom of the...
Things are going so great for Javier Baez right now that even when he boots a ball on defense it turns into a good play. That's what happened Sunday against the San Diego Padres. A hard-hit ball was hit directly at Baez at second, who had the ball bounce off his body. Yet, the ball went right to...
Javier Baez is making a serious case to be in MVP talks and he strengthened that case Sunday against the San Diego Padres. There are several factors that go into voting, but Baez is doing his best to make a valid argument as to why he should be considered. No, Baez doesn't have a high OBP, but...
The Chicago Cubs are going to be in first place at the all-star break and that's thanks to some help from the Pittsburgh Pirates, who swept a five-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The sweep was capped off in the most heart-breaking fashion for the Brewers, who were trying to salvage the...
Is Javier Baez currently the front-runner in the National League MVP race? No, but the Chicago Cubs second baseman is certainly in the discussion as MLB heads into the All-Star break. Baez carried the Cubs to their 11-6 win Saturday night over the San Diego Padres, hitting his 19th home run of the...
Kyle Schwarber is just getting warmed up for the Home Run Derby on Monday and boy is his swing a thing of beauty. Schwarber blasted a two-run shot against the San Diego Padres Saturday night, giving the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 lead in the fourth inning....
Apparently Chicago White Sox play-by-play man Jason Benetti sings to boy band songs every time he's a guest on the Kansas City Royals pre-game show. And you know what, this was pretty hilarious. https://twitter.com/FSKansasCity/status/1017921870396395520 It's always great to see anyone not taking...
Javier Baez was born on Dec. 1, 1992, in Puerto Rico and didn't move to Florida until 2005. So you know what, no it shouldn't be surprising that he doesn't know who The Beatles are after Joe Maddon compared him to one of them. So, last night after Baez dazzled on the field, had a home run robbed...
Tyler Chatwood allowed three runs in five innings and it could have been a lot worse Friday night if it wasn't for Javier Baez, who keeps living up to the hype. In the first inning, the San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with nobody out against Chatwood. The Cubs came out of the inning only...
Anthony Rizzo has a very particular set of skills, skills that he acquired over a very long career. On Friday night, those skills made Anthony Rizzo a nightmare for the San Diego Padres. Despite riding a 0-for-19 streak entering Friday's series opener and then going hitless in his first two...
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good and Javier Baez has been both this year. That was the story once again Friday night, when a bouncer down the line in the 10th hit the third-base bag, allowing Baez to reach on an infield single. The great thing was Baez may have duped the Padres into...
