When stacked up alongside a ten-game winning streak, a three-game slump doesn’t look TOO bad. But it was still good to see the Cubs end it by beating the Padres 8-3 last night. The highlights are...

The Cubs began this game without Alex Bregman (hurt toe) but with Dansby Swanson (healthy). And they ended it … the opposite way. Bregman came in for a key pinch-hit RBI knock, while Swanson left...
Despite the (too) occasional rough at-bat, I have noticed some positive momentum for Pete Crow-Armstrong offensively of late, both in terms of results and the underlying data. We talked about it...

Dansby Swanson hit a two-run double against college roommate Walker Buehler in the top of the second, then stole third. He remained in the game for the next two outs, but did not return to the...
I guess the Chicago Cubs horrible injury luck extends to former players, too. Although I probably shouldn’t make light of this one, because it looks particularly painful. Tonight, in the top of...
In the top of the second inning, Dansby Swanson ripped a 2-RBI double into the left-center field gap to give the Cubs an early lead. After that, he stole third base. After that, nothing, because...

There had been some low-level buzz about Justin Steele‘s rehab, but everything was kept hush-hush until Craig Counsell spilled the beans during a Tuesday appearance on 104.3 The Score. Speaking...
The Cubs dropped their third in a row last night, but they at least made it interesting by scoring the first two runs Mason Miller has allowed this season. After initially believing they got away...
Cubs pitcher Justin Steele, who was eligible to come off the 60-day IL late next month after getting hurt in April 2025, has been shut down while recovering from elbow surgery, sources told ESPN.
CUBS LINEUP — The Cubs have lost three games in a row, and we just found out that Justin Steele had a major setback in his recovery. So, yeah, the good vibes of that ten-game winning streak are...
I’m not numb to bad Cubs injury news just because there’s been a lot of it. But also … how much punishment can we be expected to take? I mean, seriously. It’s like that “How are you still alive“...
Cubs left-hander Justin Steele has hit a setback in his recovery from last year’s elbow surgery, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The specifics of the setback aren’t clear but Rogers suggests that...

The Cubs outfielder is going through some major issues right now offensively.
I had Ben Brown on the mind today thanks to that “walk” that should’ve been a strikeout, and everything that followed from it. Most of the focus was on the nature of ABS challenges, and how and...
After last night’s grand slam, the Cubs 22-year-old DH, Moises Ballesteros, is up to a truly absurd .387/.435/.710 slash line. That’s offensive production so strong that, despite stepping up to...
If your favorite team is not facing Mason Miller, you probably wanted to see him continue his incredible scoreless streak. But the Cubs are my favorite team. And they were facing Mason Miller last...
The Chicago Cubs were clinging to a one-run lead in the 5th inning last night when Ben Brown seemingly struck out Ty France to get out of a jam and preserve the lead. Except Brown didn’t strike...
This is a disappointing development for Chicago.
The Boston Red Sox, a mess of an otherwise/should-be wonderful organization, opened the year at 10-17 (despite much loftier expectations). So a few days ago, they promptly fired … everyone,...
The rules for fans in the stands on a home run are pretty well established. If you’re in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, at least: (1) an opponent’s home run ball must be thrown back, (2) if you...
Miller allowed two Cubs runners to score Monday night, his first in 34 ⅔ innings
After stranding 19 men between their two losses in LA, including twice stranding ducks on the pond, it was clear the Cubs’ luck had to start breaking better soon. That was the case on Monday night...

Manny Machado might not be available for the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night when they vie for a series win against the visiting Chicago Cubs.,The A
The Cubs’ comeback was early enough in this one to not quite feel like a huge comeback, so letting it slip away thereafter didn’t have that particular brand of sting. But it still sucks overall to...
