With some notable exceptions, postseason baseball typically involves tighter games that require a higher degree of execution than some Tuesday night affair against a non-contender. The only problem is that failing to execute in a tight game against a mediocre team doesn’t speak too highly of the Cubs’ ability to get things done when the … The post Lack of Execution in Tuesday’s Loss Highlights Postseason Fears appeared first on .

The Chicago Cubs are extremely close to clinching a spot in the 2026 MLB Playoffs. Here's how they can get across the finish line.
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The Cincinnati Reds (72-84) begin the final stretch of the 2026 season with the start of a six-game road trip and a three game mid-week series against the Atlanta Braves (92-64) Tuesday night at Truist Park. First pitch is at 7:15 PM EDT. The Braves clinched the NL East division title on Sunday.

Did you think there were going to be days off? There are no days off. At least not yet. Maybe a partial day off? We’ll see. This is the same lineup the Braves rolled out when they last had to face a lefty (8-4 loss to the Cubs). They also used this lineup in the opener against the Cubs, which they also lost. So, maybe that fortune changes here. The Braves have a combined four, count ‘em, four PAs against Brandon Williamson. Two are from Ha-Seong Kim (strikeout, flyout), and one each comes from...
Alex Bregman might not be the only improbable weekend return for the Cubs, as Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Justin Steele could be an option for the Boston series.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell informed reporters, including Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times, that third baseman Alex Bregman will not be placed on the injured list.
