• Vidal Bruján gets start at shortstop for second day in a row

The lineups for tonight’s series opener between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies are out and while the Braves aren’t making many wholesale changes, one thing that sticks out is one player in particular who is in the lineup for a second straight day. Here’s the lineup for the Braves: As you can see, […]...2025

The Braves have claimed infielder Vidal Bruján off waivers from the Orioles, according to announcements from both clubs.

He is out…...2025
• Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, August 4 edition

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs split six games over the past week. I know that some Cubs fans are panicking over the team’s two-game deficit in the NL Central and the Brewers appearing to just not lose... at all. Since the beginning of June, the Brewers are 36-16. That’s... just not sustainable, not over a time much longer than that. Even the 103-win 2016 Cubs did...2025

• Orioles 4, Cubs 3: Those leadoff walks will just kill you

Matthew Boyd had another nice game, but it was ruined by a bullpen meltdown. | Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images The Cubs were going along just fine until a disastrous eighth inning. The headline is what baseball folks will tell you. Walks are going to happen, but leadoff walks almost always lead to bad things. That’s what happened to the Cubs in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game, af...2025
