For a very short amount of time, it was en vogue to note a so called Cubbie Occurrence. That Ryan Zeferjahn borderline pitch that ended up being ball four and not a game ending strike three was the kind of thing that we used to see spiral to one of those occurrences. Hat tip to […]
The Cubs and Marlins got together for the second game of their series at loanDepot Park Saturday afternoon. The road squad built a big lead in the middle innings and the bullpen just barely held on for a one-run victory. Chicago went ahead against starter Ryan Gusto with a three-spot in the top of the …

The Marlins have moved on from veteran infielder Leo Jimenez. He’s been released, per his MLB.com transactions log. Jimenez was designated for assignment on Thursday. Miami acquired Jimenez from the Blue Jays shortly after Opening Day. The club sent infielder Dub Gleed and international bonus pool money back to Toronto. Jimenez had been DFAed by […]
You know, based on the number of baserunners the Cubs had in this game — 13 hits and six walks, not to mention a hit batsman — they should have scored many, many more than six runs. RISPy business, again — 4-for-18 (!) with runners in scoring position, 11 men left on base, and more […]
ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said his 2023 Miami Marlins team and this Rangers club share a starting staff and a clubhouse with players who have won before, as Texas enters the final 20 games at 70-72. Schumaker spoke with Rangers Sports Network before Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays at […]

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Ryan Gusto, RHP In the words we used to use all the time for Kyle Hendricks: “All he does is get guys out.” That really does apply to Javier Assad, who returns to make this start. The assumption I make is […]

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 5 The Tides brought the lumber with double-digit runs and hits, plus nine walks, overcoming an early 4-0 deficit for a runaway victory. Rece Hinds was the hitting star, reaching base five times on four singles and a walk, and he scored three runs. Six other batters […]
Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced in his postgame remarks Friday that Javier Assad would start today’s game against the Marlins. And so, Assad has indeed been recalled from his relegation to Triple-A Iowa and has rejoined the 28-man active roster for the start this afternoon. Overall this year in 22 games covering 83.1 innings, Assad […]
This was not a vintage 2026 Cubs win, though another win by five runs is plenty acceptable. This one didn’t get out of hand and there wasn’t a lot of offensive heroics. Largely, the offense had one very good inning and the team rode that and really strong pitching to a second straight win. The […]
The Cubs got their series in South Florida against the Marlins off to a strong start with an impressive victory Friday night. Starter Shōta Imanaga had a nice bounce-back performance to lead the way in a relatively comfortable win. Chicago went in front on Janson Junk via an RBI groundout by Pedro Ramírez in the …

In the preview to this game that I posted Friday afternoon, I wrote: Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. Well. Couldn’t be happier to have been wrong about that. Imanaga had one of his best outings of the 2026 season, allowing just […]

Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Janson Junk, RHP Well. Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. He’s been back to bad Shōta lately, with a 7.13 ERA and 1.528 WHIP over his last four starts, with eight (!) […]

The Cubs managed to make it out of town on a high note, riding a Pete Crow-Armstrong homer and a complete pitching performance to a series-halving victory. Now they face a Marlins team that has been hovering right around the .500 mark for most of the season. That might present a bit of a reprieve …

The Dodgers’ $2 billion-plus sale in 2012 looked like a blockbuster. Inside MLB’s ownership circles, though, the number raised a different question: why did the price suddenly jump? David Samson, then-president of the Miami Marlins, revisited the deal on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast. He recalled several groups competing for the Dodgers during their […]

The Cubs last played the Marlins May 21, 2025. They won that game 2-1. That was 471 days ago, so long ago that it was the day of Cade Horton’s second MLB start and Matt Mervis was the Marlins’ designated hitter. Things are, obviously, very different now for both teams. The good news here is […]
