Cubs 5, Reds 3: Alex Bregman’s two-run homer completes a comeback
The Cubs defeated the Reds 5-3 Saturday night on the strength of homers by Carson Kelly and Alex Bregman, the latter a two-run blast. Those helped the team come from behind in the sixth and seventh innings. But before I get to all of that, can I say that this team needs Daniel Palencia back […]
Chicago Cubs news — Imanaga, Suzuki, Townsend
Today’s Reflections Well, what can you say when a pitcher, making his second start of the season and coming off a horrible season debut, is absolutely brilliant? Well, the Cubs hitters helped — 12 of the Cubs’ 16 strikeouts came with Hunter Greene on the mound. But credit is given where credit is due. That […]

MLB Draft: Cubs select Nebraska RHP Carson Jasa in the 3rd round
After going with power bats in with their two second-round picks, the Cubs went with big right-hander in Nebraska right-hander Carson Jasa in the third. While Jasa is a tall, 6’7” right-hander with a fastball in the 95-96 mile per hour range, what the Cubs likely found attractive are his big spin rates. In fact, […]

Reds 4, Cubs 0: Hunter Greene dominates Cubs hitters

Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Suzuki, Peterson, Rea
Today’s Reflections Yawn, just another PCA milestone. Seems like they’re coming every week now. The only “problem” with PCA’s 20/20 accomplishment is that it somewhat overshadowed Seiya Suzuki’s two games. Wednesday, his three-run home run proved to be the deciding runs in the Cubs’ win. Suzuki couldn’t do it all Thursday, but he tried with […]
