March is the time for madness. We’re not talking about the tourney (maybe just a little). We’re talking about Cubs pitcher Javier Assad shoving against Team USA and Mark DeRosa’s roster of American All-Stars. Have we overlooked Assad? Luke Stuckmeyer, Ryan Herrera and Cody Delmendo are back to chop it up, and Opening Day is less than 3 weeks away!…

The Chicago Cubs dropped Game 160 to the Reds, but the silver lining from tonight was surely Hayden Wesneski. Wesneski wraps up a solid first season with a 6-inning, 1 run performance, bringing his season ERA down to 2.45. However, the Cubs offense could not get anything going vs Hunter Greene and the Cubbies fell to the Reds. Join Luke,…
In Marcus Stroman’s case, he has effectively used his first year with the Cubs to make a positive impression on the younger members of the pitching staff.

When Hayden Wesneski walked off the mound at the end of his third career start for the Cubs on Wednesday, he didn’t think he had his best stuff all night. He said his slider — and particularly his two-strike slider — wasn’t playing the way he wanted it to, and that’s part of what forced him to grind through five-plus…...
The Cubs picked up another win vs the Phillies on Wednesday Night, making it 7 wins in their last 8 games. Hayden Wesneski had another impressive outing, going 6 innings and allowing only 1 run.
