Iowa Cubs 3 @ Memphis Redbirds 4 Iowa fell behind 4-0 by the end of the 3rd inning, but tried to rally in the 7th and 8th. They fell to 31-36 on the season. Dexter Fowler may or may not be headed to the DL depending on what the Cubs learn in the days to come. I would assume that would …
Cubs 10, Pirates 5 (6.19.16)
OSS: Another day, another top prospect having a great debut. Three up: Willson Contreras homered on the first pitch of his MLB career. It was one of many by the Cubs, including a solo shot by Baez in the second, a two run insurance blast by Russell in the eighth, and back to back-ers by Bryzzo. Kyle Hendricks cruised through …

Journeymen of tomorrow: Cubs minor league recap (6.19.16)
Iowa Cubs 4 @ Memphis Redbirds 6 The I-Cubs out-hit the Redbirds 11 to 7, but a big 5-run 3rd inning was more than enough to drop Iowa to 31-35. Iowa had four players with two hits each. John Andreoli was 2-5 with a double, 2 RBI, a run scored and 2 strikeouts. Kristopher Negron was also 2-5 with a double, 2 …
Cubs 4, Pirates 3 (6.18.16)
OSS: Javy Baez keeps the game close and the Cubs bomb their way to victory. Three up: Javy Baez’s statline looked pretty pedestrian, but he had a huge game. This “it’s magic”-esque slide led to the Cubs second run, and two fantastic defensive plays kept the game close. Bryant, Rizzo, and Grandpa all hit solo shots in this game. Bryant’s …

Series Preview: Pittsburgh Pirates (33-32) @ Chicago Cubs (44-20)
View PostCubs to call up Willson Contreras, DFA Tim Federowicz
According to multiple sources, the Cubs are set to call up their top prospect Willson Contreras tomorrow. Yes, the catching prospect has easily become their top prospect and is probably among the top 10 in baseball at this point. Catchers who can hit and field are rare and that’s what Contreras is. The Cubs will designate Tim Federowicz for assignment …
Journeymen of tomorrow: Cubs minor league recap (6.16.16)
Iowa Cubs 6 @ Colorodo Springs Sky Sox 5 Four I-Cubs hitters had three hits apiece and none of them were Willson Contreras. Contreras was 1-5 with an RBI and extended his hitting streak to some number I don’t care about, but maybe you do. What I do care about is that the Cubs best catcher is catching games for the …
