Okay, so we’d say the season is roughly going as we expected, just not as we hoped, right? That’s how we’ll phrase it? The Cubs have, at times, looked dominant (like last night, when they poured 9 runs over 16 hits and 5 walks in support of their 26-year-old starter’s career-best performance). And at times they’ve looked absolutely lifeless (like the four losses that came immediately before last night, during which they were outscored 29-7).

They’ve played .500 baseball over their last ten games, but remain three games under even overall and are coming off back-to-back losses to the Diamondbacks (one of which was a 7.0 game no-hitter). Although they’re scoring an almost exactly avera...

Taking Adam’s spot in the bullpen is last year’s Rule 5 pick-turned-trade acquisition Trevor Megill, all 6’8″ of him. The guy was looking extremely impressive in Spring Training in terms of the velocity and the curveball, with the Cubs trying to get him to spot that four-seamer down at the knees (he’s so tall and he’s got this exaggerated over-the-top delivery that has to make that thing really hard to square up). He couldn’t quite pull it off consistently yet, but maybe he’s improved at the alternate site? Either way, I’m excited to see him back in action.
