WELCOME to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
Monday’s game featured Jameson Taillon (2-0, 1.69) versus Luis Severino (2-2, 2.67) at Citi Field. Brandon Nimmo greeted Taillon rudely with a leadoff homer.
It took just over an hour to get to the sixth inning.
