Journeymen of tomorrow: Cubs minor league recap (6.24.16)
Nashville Sounds 0 @ Iowa Cubs 3 (Game 1) Mark Zagunis was 1-3 with a double and run scored. Zagunis has done nothing but hit since being drafted by the Cubs in the 3rd round of the 2014 draft. He was signed for $0.6 million and aside from a 2-game, 9 plate appearance stint to begin his career, here are …
Cubs 2, Marlins 4 (6.23.16)
OSS: Injuries starting to take their toll Three up: David Ross continues to spit in the face of father time, tying the game with a solo homer in the eighth and drawing a walk to load the bases in the ninth in the Cubs failed rally. He also TOOTBLAN’d Christian Yelich in the fourth inning and probably would have another …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (47-23) at Miami Marlins (38-34)
The Marlins have a winning record? Fuck the heck? Despite the Wei-Yin Chen signing most people were expecting them to be one of the many NL teams rebuilding this year, but once again they seem to have built a competitive team. Most importantly, a cheap competitive team. At the team level, they’re right around the league average at the plate …
Journeymen of tomorrow: Cubs minor league recap (6.23.16)
I’m short on time today so this will be quick. Nashville Sounds 2 @ Iowa Cubs 3 Jeimer Candelario: 2-4, double Candelario is off to a really good start in AAA.

Cubs 3, Cardinals 4 (6.21.16)
OSS: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Three up: Addison Russell had a three hit day, pacing the Cubs by far with a .316 WPA. All three hits were rally starters/continue-rs but he never found his way home, which is pretty much the story of this game. Gerardo Concepcion was solid in his MLB debut, striking out two and allowing no baserunners in 1.1 innings. …

Cubs 2, Cardinals 3 (6.20.16)
OSS: Cubs comeback squelched by a backbreaking TOOTBLAN Three up: Willson Contreras looked great in his first start as a Chicago Cub. He notched his second career RBI with a single in the third and nailed Matt Carpenter by a mile in a stolen base attempt in the top of the ninth. His receiving technique was reportedly a little shaky, …
