Kyle Schwarber has hit 15 home runs in his last 16 games. Fifteen homers is a lot in 16 games, which is 10% of a season. Prorated over an entire season, Schwarber would total an astronomical 150 home runs. That’s a more slow-pitch softball number of dingers than baseball. Schwarber’s success pleases me because he is a […]

by Kent Sterling Including the game tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Chicago Cubs have 13 games remaining in this very unpleasant season. If they lose 10-of-13, the Cubs will have amassed more losses than in any three-year period in their woeful history. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Digging deeper into the bedrock […]
As Chicago Cubs Continue Dealing Vets, They Fail in Developing Young Core
August 22, 2013
August 22, 2013
by Kent Sterling There is some bad mojo going on at Wrigley Field. Fans and media claim that team president Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer are pressing all the right buttons in trading veterans for farm system bulk, and that the youngsters left behind are being tutored to play better at the major league level.
