Locked On Cubs

MLB.com released their new prospects list last week and the Cubs are well represented with four players -- Brennen Davis, Christian Hernandez, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Kevin Alcantara -- in the top 100. Prospects hold significance, even if they don't eventually graduate with the team they were signed or drafted with. Plus, introducing the baseball golf analogy as the Cubs return to Wrigley Field to play the Orioles and Mets this week.LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL OR SEND US A TEXT: 312-834-4634Follow along on Twitter: @LockedOnCubs, @matt_cozzi, @SamOlburSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Cubs going to their own TV network was a major change for fans. After years of memories with both different broadcasters and networks -- especially history with WGN -- how is the Marquee Sports Network sitting with viewers so far?

Thanks to PJ Higgins go-ahead RBI double in the 9th, the Cubs defeated the Brewers on Wednesday to win 2 out of 3. That is 8 wins out of the last 12 games for the Cubs including 4 straight series victories. Up next for the Cubs is the Dodgers, and Marcus Stroman among others may be returning as soon as this weekend in Los Angeles. Plus, Ian Happ is playing well this season and is signed through 2023, but could he be traded as his value continues to increase?LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL OR SEND US A TEXT: 312-834-4634Follow along on Twitter: @LockedOnCubs, @matt_cozzi, @SamOlburSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Cubs throttle the Brewers 8-3 as Seiya Suzuki again is the star in only his second game since returning from the IL. Plus, Carlos Correa says he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild. What does that mean for the Cubs in anticipation of them being active in the shortstop market this off-season? Perhaps Xander Bogaerts is more likely, especially since there was a report recently about the Cubs being the likely landing spot for the current Red Sox player.LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL OR SEND US A TEXT: 312-834-4634Follow along on Twitter: @LockedOnCubs, @matt_cozzi, @SamOlburSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Major League Baseball is now permitting its teams to use a digital pitch calling device, PitchCom, on the field. This will eliminate the traditional finger signals between catcher and pitcher. Some clubs are all for this technology, such as the Tampa Rays and Colorado Rockies, yet can we say the same for the Chicago Cubs? It shows an effort to speed up pace of play and eliminate sign stealing, however will it work?The device itself will signal pitch and location from the catcher's "digital" wristband right into a receiver in the pitcher's ear on the mound.
