2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
Hey, I did say in my Up Next for this game that I liked the pitching matchup. I think I probably envisioned a stronger performance from Shōta Imanaga. I’ll hat tip Aaron Civale for his performance in this one, saving a lot of bullpen and also being very effective. I understand and respect that he’ll […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
It might feel like we can’t have nice things as Cub fans after a game like this. I’m sure there will be dozens of storylines all across the internet about the Cubs and blown saves on a day like this. And I’m not blowing smoke at anyone. I’m not revisiting this after a Saturday night […]
Mariners 5, Cubs 4: The Jacob Webb disaster
SEATTLE — It was just six days ago that Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the game for the Cubs with a home run on the first pitch of the game and then hit another one for a walk-off win. Now the Cubs have seen it happen against them, courtesy of Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena, who hit […]
Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Happ, Busch, PCA, Palencia, Boyd
Today’s Reflections What a winnable mess that was in Seattle Friday night. And Matthew Boyd created it. The lefthander allowed just six home runs in his first 12 games this season. In four August games, Boyd has allowed eight home runs in the last four starts, including two three-run and three two-run blasts. Boyd called […]

SEATTLE — Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Mariners lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Kade Anderson, LHP David Peterson returns to the Cubs rotation after a one-outing detour to the bullpen, in which he threw 1.1 scoreless innings Monday against the White Sox, throwing 22 pitches, so he should be well rested for today’s game.

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Mariners
If you were an outsider to Cubs/Mariners on Friday night, it was a thrilling back and forth game. The Mariners appear to be a team on the outside looking in, though they are within striking distance of a division title in a down year for the AL West. Despite that, this had that feel of […]
Mariners 6, Cubs 5: Alex Bregman homers twice, but then there’s that RISPy business
SEATTLE — To begin this recap of Friday night’s 6-5 Cubs 10-inning loss to the Mariners, I thought it would be appropriate to give you this fact from BCB’s JohnW53, because this is the primary reason the Cubs lost this game: The Cubs’ 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position was their worst with […]
Chicago Cubs news— Holmes, Bregman, Hoerner, Taylor
Today’s Reflections So, the White Sox have in Jose Urquidy the equivalent of the Cubs’ Javier Assad. For example: August 19th, Urquidy, planned reliever in the third inning for an opener: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K. June 6th, Assad, emergency reliever in the second inning for a Jameson Taillon implosion: […]

SEATTLE — Today’s roster moves: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Mariners lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Emerson Hancock, RHP Matthew Boyd had been so good in his first nine starts back from his knee injury that his four-homer clunker against the Cardinals last Saturday was pretty shocking.

Cubs roster moves: Daniel Palencia activated from IL, Gabriel Arias added
Daniel Palencia had a good year as Cubs closer in 2025 despite some injury issues. He had more time on the IL this year, first with an oblique strain and then a flexor injury.
