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.

Hey, Ian Happ did only miss the minimum amount of time on the injured list with his minor oblique issue, so maybe the Cubs are on a little hot streak of actually getting players back when they say they will be. This time around it's right-handed reliever Porter Hodge, who had stepped back into the...
I mean sure, I was a bit critical of Kyle Tucker following Monday night's game against the Marlins, but some Cubs fans were actually calling for him to be benched? And I know, it's online fans that only make up a small percentage of the fan base, but I know some of you reading this got a text from...
The Cubs beat the Marlins 2-1 on Wednesday, taking the series finale that featured a pitchers' duel between Cade Horton and Max Meyer. We also saw one of the worst sends by a third base coach of all-time. Sure, Quintin Berry was being aggressive with two outs, but holy shit was that an awful...
So, this rumor came out Sunday morning before the Cubs revealed that they were calling up Matt Shaw to play third base again. Still, it didn't really make sense to me then or any other time Cubs fans have pointed to Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon as a possible trade target. According to USA...
This story took another tragic turn and honestly it's not all that surprising. Unfortunate, but maybe a lesson for other fans. At the same time, this is horrible luck right? Who expects to see their bud fall 20 feet after a couple beers? Three weeks ago a fan fell 21 feet from the right field...
The Cubs made a few roster moves ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Marlins. First, Ian Happ is back from the injured list. Happ is expected to return to the leadoff role. Prospect Moises Ballesteros has been optioned to Triple-A. Meanwhile, Porter Hodge is on the 15-day injured list and...
It's May and the Cubs don't have a closer. Cool. Jed Hoyer was hoping that Ryan Pressly would be the answer to save games in 2025, but he was removed from the closer role earlier this month and now Porter Hodge, who was next up on the depth chart, is being placed on the injured list with a left...
Pete Crow-Armstrong has been filling in at the leadoff spot for the past 10 days and he's been really damn good. The results have been so off the charts that conversation has turned to whether or not the center fielder will remain at the top of the starting lineup once everyone is healthy. Well,...
It was a bit strange seeing Craig Counsell turn to Daniel Palencia to pick up the save during Monday night's game against the Marlins. We all know how that ended as Palencia gave up a two-strike, two-out double, walked the next batter and then allowed a walk-off triple to seal an 8-7 loss. As ugly...
Boy oh boy was that an awful loss to the Marlins, huh? Ben Brown gave up two home runs before he got an out, settled in and then got blown up again and couldn't get out of the fifth. The offense, which has carried the Cubs most of the season, came back against a poor Marlins' bullpen, but then...
The Chicago Cubs are reportedly calling up top prospect Matt Shaw, who is expected to be in the starting lineup Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The big question now is who will Shaw replace on the 26-man roster and although the move hasn't been made official MLB insider Jon Heyman has a...
On April 29, Cubs manager Craig Counsell made a drastic decision in the starting lineup, moving shortstop Dansby Swanson out of the middle of the batting order to the No. 8 spot. Swanson was putting up woeful numbers at the time, not coming through with runners in scoring position and striking out...
