Reminder: the latest episode of BNTV records live tonight, here at the site, at 8pm CT/9pm ET. You can drop questions/comments in advance to bntv at bleachernation dot com. You can watch past episodes here. It’s like a podcast, but you can see my face and hands – frequently my hands – while you hear me talk about the Cubs, the stuff sitting around my office, and life, itself. Even if you can’t make the live recording, the show is designed to still watch well any day thereafter.

I definitely don't want to raise any alarm bells, because Matt Shaw's recent slump still contains some positive signs, and it's entirely possible (likely, even) that he's simply working on something at the moment. That's what the Minor Leagues are...
It was a tough day for the Cubs affiliates, with three losses and a rainout of the story on Thursday. Even Seiya Suzuki had a tough day in Iowa. That and more in today's Cubs Farm Report. Cubs Farm Report...
