The basket at Wrigley Field can be like the Crawford Boxes were for Alex Bregman down in Houston. Wrigley is much deeper down the line, but the basket helps snag a few extras. Home run number 26...
Shortstop on track to return Friday in Cincinnati
The Cubs suffered yet another tough loss last night as the bullpen gave up a pair of two-run homers in the late innings. They didn’t lose any ground because both the Phillies and Padres lost, but...
CUBS LINEUP — Should the Cubs have won last night? Yes. Are they going to win a lot of games when they have a one-run lead late? Nope. Not with the way this bullpen has been pitching lately. But...
If you were hoping that righty Gavin Hollowell and/or lefty Riley Martin were going to swoop in and save the Cubs’ bullpen at the end of the season, you might be disappointed. Both relievers...
Bregman has been a vital presence in Chicago's clubhouse.
We already know, when compared across the spectrum of other farm systems in baseball, the Chicago Cubs aren’t looking so hot right now. There are always bright spots and hopefully some longer-term...
Only one game was played in the Cubs‘ minor league system on Tuesday, as Iowa’s matchup in Omaha was postponed due to weather. The Knoxville Smokies began their three-game first-round playoff...
If the Cubs had the benefit of an even moderately reliable bullpen, Jacob Webb might have to be worried about finding a red tag in his locker soon. As it is, Craig Counsell has little option but...
The Cubs could not hold on to an early lead against the Braves on Tuesday night. The road team hit a trio of two-run homers as they scored six unanswered runs to win the game. Pedro Ramírez put...
The Chicago Cubs lost to the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, but they still took a step toward a playoff spot. The Cubs reduced their magic number thanks to the Arizona Diamondbacks...
The Brewers won their fourth straight National League Central title after the second-place Cubs lost to Atlanta on Tuesday night.
CHICAGO (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Drake Baldwin hit late-inning, two-run homers, and the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 on Tuesday night. Chicago's loss...
On the one hand, it’s not at all difficult to believe the Cubs lost a game in which Jacob Webb was asked to pitch late in the game with a one-run lead (walk, homer, lead gone). But on the other...
The Cubs are shutting down Shelby Miller for the rest of the 2026 season, manager Craig Counsell told reporters before tonight’s loss to Atlanta (links via Patrick Mooney of The Athletic and...
It was a really cool story for a while, but righty reliever Shelby Miller will not be joining the Cubs for their playoff push. The 35-year-old had been throwing harder than ever at Triple-A just a...
I’ve been talking a lot lately about the various bullpen Hail Marys the Cubs have in holding in recent weeks. Edward Cabrera is already back in Chicago (though he hasn’t pitched yet). Justin...
CUBS LINEUP — Good win for the Cubs last night. Win again tonight, and you have a real shot at the sweep tomorrow, as Chris Sale will not start the finale (and the Braves are much weaker against...
The Cubs turned what looked like an easy win into a nail-biter, but there’s no such thing as an ugly win at this point. Especially since the Padres may never lose again. They have won eight in a...
“Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities.” – Clocks by Coldplay The Cubs certainly didn’t gain any ground on the Brewers or the Phillies while I was away, but nothing is slowing Pete...
The after-season Arizona Fall League begins play in just under three weeks, and it’s always a great opportunity to see a little more from a handful of Cubs prospects before everything really gets...
The Cubs are trying to pull off the nearly impossible, with the league-best offense and defense and the league-worst pitching staff. It’s a tall order. I had thought it couldn’t be done. A small...
Given the negligible cost and the early-jumping nature of the move, combined with how desperately needy the Cubs ultimately became, there’s an argument that the David Peterson deal was the Cubs’...
The Atlanta Braves suffered another loss to the rotation on Monday. It is September with a couple of weeks until the postseason and Atlanta still can't seem to figure it out.
You just knew Pete Crow-Armstrong was due after going 1-for-12 with four strikeouts in his three previous games, especially when he’d been hitting the ball hard the whole time, and making history...
As has so often been the case with Pete Crow-Armstrong this year, when he has a huge game, I never quite know which Great Thing is the primary peg for the post. Last night, PCA stole base number...
The Cubs had themselves a nice, solid win last night over a very good Braves team. Good start. Good defense. Capable bullpen. Lotta hits. Some power. It was just a normal (said in a complimentary...
The Chicago Cubs have taken another step toward clinching a playoff spot after a win over the Atlanta Braves Monday. The Cubs are still in the top spot in the National League wild card standings,...
The Phillies were off yesterday, so the Cubs had an opportunity to grab a small lead in the WC1 race. They did it with their 7-3 win over the Braves. Enjoy the highlights from that win, including...
The Cubs started their series with the Braves off on a positive note Monday night with a win. The home side charged out to a big lead, but there were some tense moments at Wrigley in the late...
CHICAGO (AP) — Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 42nd homer to match the Cubs record for a left-handed batter and finished with four hits and four RBIs to power Chicago past the Atlanta Braves 7-3 on...
It’s not particularly fun when the Cubs turn a 7-0 lead into a situation where the tying run comes to the plate in the 9th. But it *IS* particularly fun when that threat lasts exactly one pitch,...
Home runs remain very good, even if Pete Crow-Armstrong doesn’t “need” any more of them to get to 40-40. He popped home run number 42 tonight, on what has already been a very big game for him: 42...
The Cubs enter the week tied with the Phillies atop the Wild Card standings, but both teams are just 1.5 games up on the streaking Padres. San Diego has won seven in a row to open up a 2.5-game...
CUBS LINEUP — Tonight, David Peterson and the Chicago Cubs are taking on Reynaldo Lopez and the Atlanta Braves in what should be the toughest series remaining for the Cubs in the regular season....
Daniel Palencia went three straight appearances without getting a whiff and got only one swing-and-miss on 60 total pitches over a period of four starts. His fastball velocity had been trending...
I wouldn’t go quite so far as to say that Daniel Palencia’s performance the rest of the way carries with it the largest single swing in possible Chicago Cubs outcomes. But, given how bad the...
Although the MLB postseason is still a couple weeks away, we are now firmly in “front office change season,” with many baseball execs having been dismissed at or after midseason, and with everyone...
If the Cubs avoid this one mistake, an AL executive believes they can win it all.
Cubs vs Braves — The Cubs are two losses (or two Brewers wins) away from being eliminated in the NL Central. But we’ve long since abandoned that hope. For now, the mission is clear: Win at least...
I’ll never forget a debate I had with a buddy roughly 25 years ago over his claim that Reggie Miller wasn’t very good because he scored most of his points in the fourth quarter. Even if that...
