Logan Evans faces Shane Smith in a battle of rookies as the Mariners visit the White Sox. Evans owns a 2.57 in four starts despite giving up 24 hits and eight walks in 21 innings. One reason his ERA seems low comes from five of the eleven runs against him judged as unearned. Smith owns […]...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 45

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs win 13-3 behind PCA and some sloppy White Sox play. The Cubs continue to excel in the first game of each series, particularly at Wrigley Field. I still suspect most of this is random sequencing. It’s ironic, because the way the Cubs can make other pitching staffs work, I might expect them to do well at the end of a series. But that h...2025

• On The Horizon: Cubs vs. White Sox series preview

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images The first series of this year’s Crosstown Classic is this weekend. In its infinite wisdom, Major League Baseball has decreed that beginning this year, the “rivalry” series between in-city or in-state (or manufactured) rivals shall be six games, two three-game series, instead of the previous pair of two-game series. Even four is too many for me; I’d be fin...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 44

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs offense was ineffective in a 3-1 loss. Worried is the wrong word. But the offensive malaise is lingering a bit longer than I expected. The Cubs have scored 27 runs over their last eight games. I don’t think there is any question that the injury to Ian Happ is part of the equation. The tailing off of Kyle Tucker is a piece of it. It’...2025

• Marlins 3, Cubs 1: The Jameson Taillon question

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images What’s going on with the Cubs righthander? This recap of the Cubs’ 3-1 loss to the Marlins Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field is going to be fairly short and to the point. Partly, that’s because this game was the shortest of the year so far for the Cubs: Two hours, 11 minutes. As you know, I’m always a fan of shorter games. (More so, of course, if the C...2025

• White Sox series preview: Bad, but not as bad as last year?

Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images Have the White Sox already hit rock bottom? Last year the White Sox set a record for futility with 121 losses, the modern-day MLB record in a single season. The Royals feasted on that futility, going 12-1 against the White Sox, while going just 74-75 against everyone else on their way to a playoff spot.
