Yankees 2, Cubs 1: Nico Hoerner and the ABS challenge that wasn’t made
There were eight ABS challenges made in Sunday’s 2-1 Cubs loss to the Yankees, four by the Cubs and four by the New Yorkers.

Earlier this week, the Cubs designated right-handed starter Jameson Taillon for assignment.

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Yankees preview, Sunday 8/2, 1:20 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Yankees lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Gerrit Cole, RHP Just when you think Colin Rea is past his sell-by date, he comes up with a solid performance, six one-run innings against the Cardinals last Tuesday. Of course, it helped that the Cubs gave him a 7-0 lead before the bottom of […]

Cubs 5, Yankees 2: Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong spark a winning rally
If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like if the Cubs and Yankees ever meet in the World Series in this century, Saturday night at Wrigley Field gave at least a hint. Between the cool, cloudy, breezy weather that made it feel almost like October, the large contingent of Yankees fans, the national TV […]
Chicago Cubs news — Imanaga, Ramirez, Amaya
Today’s Reflections Shōta Imanaga pitched more than just “well enough” for the Cubs to have won Friday’s game with the Yankees. Yes, he’s back to the home-run ball. Luckily, they were two solo shots. Despite that, I would take two runs over 6.2 IP each and every day. Bad luck for him. And welcome Antoine […]

Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Hoerner, Boyd, PCA, Happ, Assad
Today’s Reflections What an interesting way to end a series — consecutive extra-inning games. With the Manfred Man, the 10th inning is a toss-up, which was evident as the Cubs and Cardinals split the games in extra time (World Cup, go away!). That gave Chicago the three-games-to-one win in the series. The MVP of the […]

Yankees 2, Cubs 0: Shōta Imanaga allows a pair of solo homers…
This is going to be a pretty short game recap, as recaps here go. Because what more can I say about the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Yankees except what’s in the headline and the blurb below the headline? That’s the story of the game: Two solo homers off Shōta Imanaga and teh Cubs failing […]
