Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein addressed the media yesterday as we approach the offseason, and offered thoughts on a variety of important subjects (quotes available, for example, here, here, and here).
His words, my thoughts, etc.:
We were all bummed when Cody Bellinger crashed into that wall and fractured two of his ribs for all the obvious reason. No team wants to play without their star center fielder and top-2 hitter. But the injury was especially...
MLB Notes — The latest from around Major League Baseball ... The Boston Red Sox have one of the best rotations in baseball through the first month-plus, but it's interesting to see how they're achieving their success this year. Red...
CUBS LINEUP — Another day, another rubber match. That's all we have around here. Let's take a look at the Cubs lineup for the finale at Wrigley Field against Dylan Cease and the Padres. Chicago Cubs Lineup: Nico Hoerner, SS...
It's becoming a routine at this point, but his performances keep justifying it! Shota Imanaga was fantastic once again last night, going 7.0+ innings, allowing 2 ER on 7 H and just 1 BB, while striking out 8. He is...
Thoughts are with folks who were impacted by the severe weather in the Midwest yesterday and last night. We wound up in our basement most of the evening with tornado sirens going off, though thankfully everything was fine. I was...
Kyle Hendricks had a successful rehab start with the Iowa Cubs on Tuesday, and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans turned in an impressive triple play! That and more in today's Cubs Farm Report. Cubs Farm Report | May 8, 2024 Triple-A...
The Cubs may have won last night's game because of Shota Imanaga's dominance, Chris Morel's sac fly, Cody Bellinger's homer, and Michael Busch's lightning-fueled walk-off. But the game was saved by two huge defensive moments from Ian Happ and Nico...
Rehab start number two for Kyle Hendricks was another largely successful one, with both results and good health (he got up to 85 pitches). https://twitter.com/IowaCubs/status/1787992856868561361 https://twitter.com/voiceofcohen2/status/1788009083930304736 https://twitter.com/AlyssaHertel/status/1788021711008391636 The fact that the rotation at the big league level has been doing...
As the rains were coming down hard, it was fair to wonder whether the Cubs and Padres were going to get to finish that game before going into a rain delay. I'm sure nobody really wanted that to happen, which...
You don't see a triple-play too often (there had been just one in all of MiLB before last night), so it's awfully fun when it happens. One of the most fun parts is thinking, in advance, about what TYPE of...
The Colorado Rockies (8-27) will try to end their three-game losing streak when they host the San Francisco Giants (16-21) on Wednesday at 8:40 PM ET on COLR. Sportsbooks consider the Giants to be -170 favorites for the contest, while...

Straight-up MLB betting can get a little redundant sometimes. Pitching matchups or lopsided affairs can often make little to no value in your standard Moneyline, Run Line, or Over/Under bets. That's where MLB props come in. Whether it's Home Run...
