2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Padres
I had an oh-duh moment while watching this one play out. I have to go back down the rabbit hole, because I don’t see anyone keeping the full total. I know this is 10 walk-offs. I’m pretty certain the number is three for road wins in their last at bat. But I don’t recall if […]
Cubs 3, Padres 2: Seiya Suzuki walks it off
The Cubs began a six-game homestand on a sultry, humid Monday at Wrigley Field coming off a very successful 6-1 road trip. And then the bats fell mostly silent and you could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again.” In the end, though, the Cubs got solid pitching from Shōta Imanaga and […]
Chicago Cubs news — Peterson, Wilson, Webb, Wicks
Today’s Reflections A win by a guy that the New York Mets couldn’t wait to get rid of. A bullpen game. A bullpen win. Against the Brewers. In extra innings! Yes, the bats were present: Two big games by Seiya Suzuki and Nico Hoerner. A big blast by Ian Happ. Walks were huge – by […]

Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres preview, Monday 6/29, 7:05 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Padres lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Griffin Canning, RHP Shōta Imanaga again got bit by the home run bug in his last start, serving up three to the Mets, though the Cubs won the game anyway. He’s got a worse home run rate at home (12 in […]

Cubs roster move: Matt Shaw to injured list, Kevin Alcántara recalled
Matt Shaw left Sunday’s game in what was then considered a surprise move, Justin Dean batted for him in the ninth inning. After the game this is what we found out: Today, per Jesse Rogers, the Cubs placed Shaw on the 10-day injured list with that wrist issue: To replace Shaw on the 26-man active […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Padres series preview
The Padres’ journey this year has been somewhat similar to the Cubs’. On May 23, they defeated the A’s and were 31-20, in second place in the NL West, just half a game behind the Dodgers. Since then, they’re 12-19, the worst record in MLB. They have played a bit better recently, winning four straight […]
Chicago Cubs update: Dansby Swanson, Bryse Wilson, David Peterson
The Cubs went 6-1 on their road trip to New York and Milwaukee, so this weekly review winds up heavy on the “Three up” side. Hopefully, that continues on the upcoming homestand against the Padres and Cardinals. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs on the road trip. Three up Dansby Swanson was […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Jordan Wicks is the Superhero vs. the Brewers?!?
A little bit of larceny for your weekend sport viewing? We all read from the same script. This was a probable Brewers sweep. They had their three best pitchers ready to go in the series and the Cubs had a pitching staff their own manager described as “in disarray” earlier in the week. The bulk […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: Two get the axe
Good morning.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — June 29
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Frank Schwindel, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2004 – At Bank One Ballpark, the Diamondbacks’ 40-year-old fireballer Randy Johnson records his 4,000th career strikeout to become the fourth player in major league history to reach the plateau. The “Big Unit” needs fewer innings (3,237.1) than Nolan Ryan (3,844.2), Roger Clemens (4,151) […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Edgar Alvarez homers for Smokies
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz joined Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Kenten Egbert moves from High-A South Bend to Iowa. We’ve all heard of players on the Des Moines/Chicago Shuttle. Egbert may be the first player ever on the Des Moines/South Bend shuttle. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were grazed on by the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays), 8-5. Kenten […]
Cubs 4, Brewers 3: Jordan Wicks saves the day. No, really!
No matter what you thought the Cubs would do this year, you absolutely did not have the following on your Cubs Bingo card: “Jordan Wicks is going to post his first save of the year against the Brewers, in Milwaukee, coming into the game in the 10th inning with the bases loaded and nobody out.” […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Sunday 6/28, 1:10 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Ryan Rolison, LHP vs. Brandon Woodruff, RHP Ryan Rolison has been a pretty effective reliever for the Cubs this year. He has not allowed a run over his last 14 outings covering 17.1 innings. In that span he has a WHIP of 0.865 and 16 […]

Cubs roster move: Jordan Wicks recalled, Vince Velasquez DFA
The Cubs today recalled left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks from Triple-A Iowa and designated right-handed pitcher Vince Velasquez for assignment. Wicks has made two starts this season for the Cubs, dropping both games. His last start came on May 31 at St. Louis. His numbers to date are pretty horrifying: 15.63 ERA, 2.211 WHIP, 13 hits […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
I think every now and then we need to reset expectations and understanding. The Cubs to this point have almost certainly left wins on the table. They had an absolutely brutal May and early June, losing a lot of winnable games. Also, due to injuries there are concerns as to if they can even sustain […]
Cubs 8, Brewers 2: David Peterson’s first Cubs start is a success
David Peterson’s first pitch as a Cub was deposited into the seats at American Family Field for a home run. You could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again,” after seeing that. But Peterson settled down and had a solid 5.2 inning, two-run outing and the Cubs rode home runs by Seiya […]
Chicago Cubs news — Suzuki, Palencia, Milner, Brown
Today’s Reflections Jacob Misiorowski. Sheesh. Why can’t the Cubs find and develops guys with just 80 percent of his ability (because there’s no possibility of hitting 100 percent because he’s a freak (respectively)). Kudos to Seiya Suzuki for picking out a 90 mile per hour slider and sending it over the wall. And for Colin […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Jaxon Wiggins rehabs with South Bend
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs got stomped on by the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays), 9-3 in 11 innings. Grant Kipp made his Triple-A debut tonight. Over 3.2 innings, Kipp gave up three runs on seven hits. Two of those hits were solo home runs. On positive side, Kipp did strike out seven while walking two. […]

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Brewers lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Kyle Harrison, LHP David Peterson is having the worst year of his career. Shuttled back and forth between the Mets rotation and bullpen, he’s never […]
