When people pay money to go to a Major League Baseball game they are not doing so to watch the umpires. Sometimes the league's umpires need reminded of that.
The Chicago Cubs began the 2025 season with a significant degree of uncertainty. Among the many question marks was the team’s offensive productivity, which had flat-lined for large chunks of 2024.
A right rotator cuff strain delayed Matt Vierling’s season debut until May 23, and he played in only four games before inflammation in that same right shoulder sent him back to the injured list.

The Cubs got shut down by some really good pitching and lost the rubber game of the series in Detroit.
DETROIT — We were all told before this series began that the Tigers were a very, very good team.
The Cubs, I believe, are also a very, very good team, but on this beautiful Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park, they were shut down by Jack Flaherty and three Detroit relievers. That, plus two bad pitches by Cade Horton, a...

DETROIT — Sunday notes...
RUN PREVENTION: In the three games of their series at Cincinnati on May 23-25, the Cubs gave up 20 runs: six, six and eighth. Since then, they have allowed only 24 more runs, in 11 games — and six of those 24 came in a single game, with only 18 in the 10 others, including just 13 in the last seven: 0, 3, 3, 2, 1, 3 and 1. The last time they allowed fewer than 13 runs over seven games was July...Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images

The Cubs thunder their way to a 6-1 win to even the series.
Baseball is silly sometimes. The Cubs actually had more hits Friday. Of the seven hits the Cubs managed Saturday, five of them left the yard. Of course, that has everything to do with a pitcher who not only who has overwhelming stuff, but also manages contact. That was the case on Friday, but not so much Saturday. The Cubs homered off of three of the four Tigers to throw in the game. Make...

The Cubs brought out the long ball to even up this series.
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers are a very good team this year, and they own the best record in MLB.
