Feels like a "Let me tell you how fast PCA was...." story in 15-20 years

Hopefully just cramps like they are reporting.

Also, first game since 2013 the Cubs haven't had a player strike out.

First time since last April when the Dodgers did it.

Before that… 2017!

Pretty darn rare. Only 32 instances since 1997. That's more rare than throwing a no-hitter!

Love that graphic. Somehow, Derek Shelton still has a job.

Cade Horton another great start last night at AAA.

Wondering if we see him next month at some point if he keeps this up.

Go Cubs Go!!

Cubs have played the strongest Strength of Schedule and are close to the top in results. Things will only get better. They are pulverizing the Brewers.

We were talking a few pages back in the pre-season about hoping PCA could take the next step.....I'm liking the odds on that!

He had 10 HR last season.....he has 8 this year on May 2nd....he is hitting them off his shoe laces!

What is the deal with Carson Kelly?

He's hitting .364 with an OBP of .500 and an OPS of 1.318 in 55 AB's.

I know he won't keep that pace all season, but dayum what a start!

Amaya playing well also.

To top that off, they have Moises Ballesteros obliterating AAA with nowhere to really play on the big league club.

The Cubs situation with closers is concerning. Offense is spectacular so it covers up.

agreed. However, if Assad comes back, Ben brown gets moved to the bullpen and now Chris Flexen feels like a decent option out of the pen too…

And we're all waiting for Cade Horton…

Could get better as the season goes on

Waiting for Horton may be over with Shota's hamstring likely putting him on the IL. Horton pitched yesterday as well and is carrying a 1.24 ERA so far at Iowa. Seems like it is time to see what the kid has.

Ugh, Cubs score 2 in the 9th to tie it up.
Leave the winning run on 3rd (with 1 out) in the 10th.
Pressly gives up 9 runs in the 11th.

Is this Neris all over again?

Cubs offense isn't as potent as it was until recently. Closer situation still bad. Luckily they have a good lead over the next guys.

Darn. His brother told a news channel his mom is a Cubs fan but the Pope himself is a Sox fan!

Horton looked pretty solid this past weekend. Curious how they handle him for the time being.

Also Ballasteros is coming up to the big league team now with Happ on the IL.

Really need to crush this part of the schedule, even with all the injuries.

Cade's first legitimate start today, should be fun at Wrigley vs the South Side.

Shaw looks to be heating up. Led off the game yesterday with a HR and ended it with a walk-off bomb. Third base has been so bad. We need that kid.

From what my brother told me (he follows this more religiously than I do), they staff tried to speed up Shaw's swing and it ruined his timing. So they sent him back down to reset his swing to what it was and hopefully this hot streak is the result of him being back to normal.

Not a lot of great offensive production around the league at third base, if we can get plus-play there, that would be MASSIVE.
