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.

Cubs Call Up Ben Brown to Replace Injured Justin Steele The Chicago Cubs have called up pitching prospect Ben Brown ahead of Saturday night's game against the Texas Rangers. Brown, 24, is replacing Cubs Opening Day starter Justin Steele, who left during the fifth inning of Thursday's game with a...
UPDATE: Cubs Expected to Call Up Ben Brown Hey, hey, the Chicago Cubs might actually make the move that most fans have been calling for since Justin Steele went down with a hamstring injury on Opening Day. According to Iowa Cubs beat reporter Tommy Birch, 24-year-old pitcher Ben Brown is expected...
The Chicago Cubs have a new veteran catcher in their organization, as 35-year-old Curt Casali has signed a minor league deal and is on the Iowa Cubs Opening Day roster at Triple-A. https://twitter.com/TommyBirch/status/1773766258669838464 Casali broke into the majors with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2014...
Remember when we were so excited for the start of the season, Justin Steele was cruising and the Cubs were beating the Rangers on Opening Day? Good times. The Cubs lost 4-3 in 10 innings, but more importantly they're going to be without Steele for at least a few weeks. So, who's going to replace...
WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Man, Cubs fans were certainly all over home plate umpire Chad Fairchild Thursday night because of his inconsistent strike zone, but there's no denying that the Cubs got bailed out big time on Opening Day. With two outs and runners at first and second in the top of the ninth inning...
What the fuck man! Justin Steele just exited his Opening Day start after fielding a bunt in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Texas Rangers. The Cubs' ace made the play, but in doing so Steele appeared to injure his left leg. He was grabbing the back of his leg. The only good news and who...
Christopher Morel is going to be starting at third base plenty of times this year, at least that's the expectation for the first few months of the season. However, Morel isn't the starting third baseman on Opening Day, as new Cubs manager Craig Counsell had a twist in his starting lineup behind...
I've been thinking about my bold prediction since the start of spring training and I'm not wavering from it. The bare minimum expectation for the 2024 Chicago Cubs is a trip to the playoffs, so the first part of my boldest prediction is a layup. However, I have a pitcher who hasn't even thrown an...
It's always good to have an outside perspective about your team because sometimes we're either too high or too low on the overall group and individual players. Cubs fans are hyped about Seiya Suzuki after his stupendous August and September in 2023, while the return of Cody Bellinger solidifies the...
I can't really tell what the consensus is among most Chicago Cubs fans, but I do have a feeling that a lot more people feel confident about the team heading into the 2024 season compared to 2023. However, seeing ESPN's predictions, I am surprised to see that the Cubs are viewed as the clear...
It is great to see that the Chicago Cubs have a manager that will use a player's strengths to help the whole team. Craig Counsell has once again made the correct move in my eyes, as the new Cubs skipper will have Ian Happ leading off on Opening Day against the Texas Rangers on Thursday night. In...
It was Nico Hoerner's gap shot in the second inning that nearly led to a catastrophic Cardinals injury during Monday's spring training game at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. While it was Hoerner who hit the ball, you can credit poor communication between Jordan Walker and Dylan Carlson, who collided in...
