WELCOME to today’s episode of Cub Tracks News and Notes™a greatest hits collection of Chicago style Beat writers and bloggers, floor from #Boys#MiLBAnd #MLB Baseball, overheated, permeated by Tears of the writersand then cold brewed overnight for maximum spice. No artificial intelligence was used, employed, enchanted or embalmed in the making of this writing (apparently I am some train although). Cub tracks eagerly awaits the introduction of robot referees and has already changed the three laws. It’s funny. Cub tracks I became a professional a long time ago.
Cub tracks. Where the big ones run away.
The Cubs traveled to Florida to begin their road trip, with Kyle Hendricks (3-10, 6.29) facing Max Meyer (3-3, 5.24). Meyer was the No. 1 pick (third overall) in 2020 and the rookie has yet to deliver on his promise.
Florida scored in the second with a double and a few productive outs. PCA handed them his beer.
Ian Happ said, “Hold my coffee.”
The professor lasted 4 2⁄3 innings before walking with ducks on the pond. Tyson Miller came in to tie the game and the game was tied until:
Porter Hodge came in and everything looked okay.
Miguel Amaya continued his recent strategy of hitting the ball.
Hodge made sure it stayed that way.
Today is shota time. Play this song. Drink an Old Style.

In the 3rd inning tonight, the Cubs did something they hadn’t done since 2001: They hit an inside-the-park and an over-the-fence home run in the same inning.
