Chicago Cubs vs. Texas Rangers preview, Sunday 5/10, 1:35 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Jacob deGrom, RHP Jameson Taillon’s numbers are decent enough, not too far out of line from his career norms — 4.24 ERA, 1.192 WHIP. The problem is home runs — 11 of them in 40.1 innings. Believe it or not, that’s not leading the league. […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 40
It’s a real credit to how well this team has played over the first quarter of the season to see how rarely they’ve come up empty. But on Saturday night in Texas, that’s exactly what happened. Not only was this just the 13th time they’ve lost this year, but it was one of an even […]
Rangers 6, Cubs 0: Sometimes it’s just not your day. The winning streak ends at 10
Seriously, the headline tells pretty much the story of the Cubs’ 6-0 loss to the Rangers, a defeat that ended their 10-game winning streak, the second such Cubs streak this season. Well, not the entire story. Here’s most of the reason for the loss: I’m not going to complain too much about this, because the […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Brown, Suzuki, Busch
Today’s Reflections I would say, “Mr. Brown! You did an excellent job!”, but you would probably think I was talking to myself. So, ….. “Ben-nie, Ben-nie, Ben-nie and the Cubs!” Hmph, cheesy. Ben Brown delivered Friday night, four innings pitched, no runs, no hits, 31-of-46 pitches for strikes, one batter over the minimum. Excellent. What […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa blasts Clippers, 13-6
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs sent the Columbus Clippers (Guardians) to Davy Jones’ Locker, 13-6. Jordan Wicks didn’t look great, but he did managed to keep the Clippers from scoring for four innings. So the results were great. His final line was no runs on two hits over four innings. He walked four and struck […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Texas Rangers preview, Saturday 5/9, 6:05 CT
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Jack Leiter, RHP Edward Cabrera has been remarkably consistent this year. After starting with two scoreless outings, he has allowed exactly three earned runs in each of his last five starts. So you pretty much know what you’re getting with a Cabrera start. This will […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 39
The 2026 Cubs are off to an historic start. It’s an exceedingly rare occurrence to have two distinct 10-game winning streaks over a team’s first 39 games. Certainly none of us have seen the Cubs do anything like this before. For what it’s worth, just from an overall standpoint, it only took the 2016 Cubs […]
Cubs 7, Rangers 1: Ben Brown’s great start helps the winning streak reach 10
All year, the Cubs have gone by a “next man up” mantra. Thus, when Matthew Boyd went down with a knee injury this week, Ben Brown was tabbed to make the start in his place. It was Brown’s first start of the year, and his past results as a starter have been uneven. Like just […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Happ, Martin, Brown
Today’s Reflections Here we are, on May 9th, and the Chicago Cubs have been christened by the media as the most stunning, powerful, dominant team in baseball!!! If they were talking to the Mets’ fanbase, or those from St. Louis, Atlanta, Texas, Tampa, etc., those fans would be on TOP OF THE WORLD!!1!! But. Let’s […]

Today’s roster move: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Kumar Rocker, RHP This is Ben Brown’s first start of 2026. Given that he has maxed out at 50 pitches in a game this year — and that was on March 31 vs. the Angels — this is likely to be […]

Cubs roster move: Ethan Roberts activated from IL, Gavin Hollowell optioned
Cubs right-hander Ethan Roberts went on the injured list a couple of weeks ago with a nominee for “Weird Injury of the Year”: Roberts said he was on his ninth rep in a 10-throw workout involving a medicine ball, which is part of his daily routine. Without space to do the drill in the weight […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Rangers series preview
The Cubs met up with an AL West team in their second series of 2026 and took two of three from an Angels club that has fallen into the basement in their division. This weekend they’ll visit another AL West team, the Rangers. For more on the Rangers, here’s Adam Morris, manager of our SB […]
Could the Cubs bolster the rotation by trading for Freddy Peralta?
The Cubs’ starting rotation has actually done pretty well in 2026, considering they lost Cade Horton for the season after two starts, and now are missing Matthew Boyd with an injury for the second time this year (and Boyd has a 6.00 ERA in five starts in 2026). The team’s 3.77 starting pitcher ERA ranks […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 38
This whole stretch has been such a whirlwind, there has been no time really spent on narratives. Beginning April 17, the Cubs played 13 games in 13 days. That included a trip to Los Angeles and San Diego in there as well as series again the Mets and Phillies, both with playoff aspirations. They aced […]

Good morning.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked, May 8
Free of charge for the discerning reader. A HUGE Happy birthday to Ross Barnes, who was born in 1850 and played on the 1876 White Stockings (Cubs, hence the photo) and was considered the GOAT of MLB upon his death in 1915, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history: In 1973, Cubs manager Whitey […]
