Darius Hill just keeps on hitting, including reaching base SIX TIMES yesterday. That, and much more from around the farm.

The undrafted free agent signing has a whole lotta power.

Kyle Hendricks was cruuuuuuising today as the Cubs take the series.

Today has been very good to Ian Happ already.

Help us, Kyle Hendricks. You’re our only hope.

Nance is a 30-year-old righty who has been grinding for the last few years in the minor leagues, earning himself this shot.

Hendricks v. Boyd.

When do the Cubs give someone else a look in the rotation? Also, how about the big day from Matt Duffy?

The A-ball arms really caught the eye.

But I’m certainly cracking up …

Oof. You knew this was inevitable with the increase in high-and-tight HBPs, but it’s terrible for Seager and the Dodgers.

You shouldn’t lose to the Tigers when you score that many runs.

Matt Duffy already has six total bases today.

And the world turned upside down.

Let’s win the series today.

Funny day for Happ to return.

The Cubs outfielder missed a couple weeks with rib issues from that ugly collision.

The Cubs have not been shy about taking shots on pitchers who have been grinding during the shutdown.

There is apparently interest there.

Javy Báez’s broken bat came within inches of striking Kris Bryant as he came down the third baseline.

Kimbrel looked as good as he can look last night, Pederson just keeps on hitting, and the Cubs probably aren’t gonna hit that 85% mark.

Cubs get back on the horse, winning in Detroit.

Bryant went oppo for style points.

Go Cubs.

The healing has begun.

Welcome back, kid!

Neither guy saw this coming at all, and both had to be helped off the field.

JAKE.

That lasted a few hours. But a pundit did some punditry on Kris Bryant trade timelines, and I really have to respond.

The schedule, his previous appearances, and game situations – that seems to be the size of it.

The Tigers are one of the worst teams in MLB, but they’ve won four in a row, while the Cubs are riding a three-game losing streak into Detroit.

An extension between the Cubs and Kris Bryant is almost certainly not happening. But what about re-signing him in free agency?

Some minor league pitching to get into for the Cubs, MLB teams getting a revenue bump, and more.

MLB got a raise – kinda – on its renewed deal with ESPN, and the players have officially filed their grievance.

All eight cases involved fully-vaccinated individuals.

The former Cubs infielder is now at Triple-A with the Twins.

YES!
