Welcome to your Thursday, and today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, featuring material from current beat writers, bloggers, and the occasional in-househabitué, moonlighting. These pieces center around #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball.

They put up the Stro Show against Drew Rasmussen and rolled the dice. In most circumstances, it would be a good bet, but baseball is baseball, full of spherical miracles, to borrow a term from a friend.
