Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Wednesday 9/9, 6:40 CT
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Logan Henderson, RHP Here’s the third and last pitching rematch from last week’s series at Wrigley Field. Kevin Gausman was absolutely nails in the game last Thursday, allowing just five hits and one run, with nine strikeouts. Gausman usually isn’t a strikeout pitcher, either. Do […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Edward Cabrera rehabs in Iowa
A rare day in the minors where it’s all day games today. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs laid an egg against the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 7-3. Jordan Wicks started this game and took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits over 3.2 innings. Three of the four runs came on a three-run […]
The Cubs bullpen looks like a big problem heading into the Postseason
The last two games in Milwaukee have been the sort of close but not good enough affairs that are designed to rip baseball fans’ hearts out. It’s not losing to the Brewers that’s causing distress as rain blankets the North Side of Chicago on a gloomy September morning, it’s the nature of the losses. These […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Carson Kelly is the Superhero vs. the Brewers.
If you had just a little bit less than five months, you win the prize. The question? How long can a pretty good team last with no bullpen? With smoke and mirrors and grit and perseverance, they held in there for a long time. The bullpen was never good, but for most of the year […]
Brewers 4, Cubs 3: The Jacob Webb disaster, part 3
This one hurt. The Cubs were one strike away from a stirring, ninth-inning rally win over the rival Brewers. Then: Single, two-run homer smashed halfway to the moon off Jacob Webb, and eventually a 10-inning loss, 4-3 to Milwaukee. For those of you of a certain age, you were likely reminded of this game, almost […]
MLB News: Aaron Judge returns, MLB expansion, Jesus Luzardo complete game, postseason schedules
Happy Wednesday, everyone, but perhaps especially to Yankees fans, who got their most desired wish on Tuesday when Aaron Judge was activated from the IL. The Yankees superstar has been out recovering from broken ribs for close to three months, and his absence was certainly felt by his teammates and New York fans alike. While […]
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — September 9
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Jerry Mumphrey, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1918 – In Game 4 of the World Series, Babe Ruth bats in two runs on a triple in the fourth and pitches seven scoreless innings before the Cubs tie it in the eighth, ending Ruth’s World Series record […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Tuesday 9/8, 6:40 CT
Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP This is the second of three pitching rematches from last week’s series at Wrigley Field. These two pitchers matched up last Wednesday. The Cubs hit Jacob Misiorowski pretty well — the game matched the most runs and most walks he’d ever allowed […]

SB Nation Reacts Survey: How many steals will Pete Crow-Armstrong finish with?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is having a spectacular season. This, you already know. He’s the likely National League MVP and is close to setting a record […]
Chicago Cubs update: Alex Bregman, Nico Hoerner, Tyrone Taylor
This feature is running on Tuesday rather than its usual Monday slot due to the Labor Day holiday. It includes only the seven games against the Brewers and Marlins last week, not Monday’s game. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs over those seven games. Three up Alex Bregman has kept his hot […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
I see a lot of discussion on this one. Craig Counsell has hit the point where he’s deciding between two less than optimal options. The Cubs had to decide between a tiring starter or a bullpen that has not even one lockdown arm out there. The closest thing they’ve had to a lockdown arm has […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Conforto, Jeferzahn, Hoerner, Happ
Today’s Reflections I hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend. I’m sure the baseball writers did, given the paltry number of articles written that weren’t repetitive ones about PCA’s 40th. Obviously, Pete Crow-Armstrong joining Billy Williams as the only Chicago Cubs lefthanded hitters to hit 40 home runs in a season was the highlight of the […]

Brewers 4, Cubs 3: In which Craig Counsell again leaves his starting pitcher in one batter too long
MILWAUKEE — Before I begin my critique of Cubs manager Craig Counsell, the Cubs’ 4-3 loss to the Brewers Monday was a really good ballgame in front of a packed house that had to be close to 40 percent Cubs fans. Well worth the drive up despite the loss. Anyway. Situation: The game’s going into […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Brewers series preview
MILWAUKEE — Yes, I made the drive up, but just for Monday’s game. Since these two teams split a four-game series at Wrigley Field last week, the Cubs won two of three in Miami and the Brewers lost two of three in Cincinnati, and the Cubs trail the Brewers in the NL Central by seven […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Michael Conforto is the Superhero vs. the Marlins
Sunday afternoon saw a terrific catch be Tyrone Taylor in left field, robbing a homer, as well as Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 40th homer. One of those two things has now happened by a left-handed hitter just twice in all of Cubs history. One of the things playing for the Cubs, be it PCA hitting his 40th […]
