During the Marquee Sports Network broadcast of the Cubs’ 1-o win over the Guardians in Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader, Jim Deshaies referred to it as the headline reads: “a throwback from 1968.” That year was known as “The Year of The Pitcher,” with runs down all across MLB.

Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Guardians doubleheader preview, Sunday 4/5, 12:10 CT
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]

Cubs roster moves: Cade Horton to IL, Riley Martin called up, Ethan Roberts 27th man for doubleheader
Yes, I know that for any Cubs fan, the words “Cade Horton to injured list” in a headline gives feelings of dread. But here we are. Horton was placed on the injured list today, the move retroactive to Saturday. For pitchers, the IL is 15 days. The “fortunate” thing, if there is one regarding this […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Horton, Martin, Palencia, Wiggins
Sources say that Riley Martin is heading to Chicago. Colin Rea and Ben Brown are the leading candidates to sub for Cade Horton, with southpaw middle/long man Martin standing in for one of them in the ’pen. Horton’s headed to Chicago. More below. Maybe he’ll be good enough to see some volleyball. Game Results: Cubs […]

Cubs, Guardians postponed; makeup as part of a doubleheader Sunday
If you were hoping to see a Cubs game tonight… you won’t: This is the same storm front that stopped the Cardinals/Tigers game in Detroit this afternoon after eight innings.

Cade Horton is heading to the IL. Who should replace him?
As you know, Cubs right-hander Cade Horton left Friday’s game in the second inning with what was termed “right forearm discomfort.” Per this article in the Tribune, Horton and manager Craig Counsell are hopeful this is not a big deal: Horton will return to Chicago for imaging and to be examined, likely undergoing evaluation Monday. […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 7
Breathe. It’s a rough day to be a Cub fan. Don’t borrow trouble. You don’t know. First and foremost, you don’t know the extent of Cade Horton’s situation. Yes, they said elbow and forearm. Those are dirty words when a pitcher leaves abruptly. Cade has had Tommy John surgery once before. So we all can […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Happ, Harvey, Horton, Rea
Insiders say that Michael Busch is going to get hitched. Matt Mervis is looking for a new home. We await news on Cade Horton’s forearm. That sounds ominous… Tommy John grins a sepulchral grin.

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Seiya Suzuki rehabs in Knoxville

It’ll be exciting to see more young talent coming to […]
