All of the Stuff

I saw a crazy statistic today that I wanted to share, and that, in turn, made me want to share a little more about just how good Pete Crow-Armstrong has been in center field. First, here’s what I saw that prompted my thinking: Ronald Acuña Jr. had a tough day [...]

What went wrong with the Cubs' process and Jordan Wicks? [...]

If you didn’t already know otherwise, how many guesses would it take you to name Pete Crow-Armstrong as the Cubs’ leader in bat speed and exit velocity (both average and max)? Okay, maybe not many based on the way most of the hitters have been performing. And we already looked [...]

AJ Dybantsa just sent a clear message to the Wizards on why he should be their top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. [...]

With Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga set to face the Athletics at Wrigley Field this week, there's potential for things to go sideways on the Chicago Cubs. [...]

I think we could probably debate the extent to which this story “matters” to the Cubs and their fans. These are prominent figures who were previously in the organization, which matters. What happens to any other MLB organization at the highest levels always, in some sense, matters to the other [...]

AJ Dybantsa sends a playful warning to Trae Young ahead of the Wizards' potential selection at No. 1 in the NBA Draft. [...]

We know that, if they should manage to stay in the playoff picture through July, the Chicago Cubs figure to be among the most aggressive buyers of pitching this season at the Trade Deadline. Their needs are so crystal clear, their positional core so competitive, and their prospect pool so [...]

The Cubs' farm system got some elite contributions in May, even leading to the debut of a few notable prospects. Which three hitters stood out most in the organization? [...]

That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale.” – A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harumezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); Yesterday was an emotional day here at Cubs Insider and it made me proud [...]

The Cubs (32-28) finished a 3-4 road trip by dropping two of three to the Cardinals to wrap up a disappointing 13-16 month of May that included a 10-game losing streak. That slump erased a lot of the ground gained during a 17-9 April, so now they try to get [...]

The Cubs lose 2-3 to the Cardinals, but at least some tarps off dweeb with a weak arm looked like a fool. We do some Cubs May trivia, Rakes/Flakes/Throws/Blows and of course a smelly visit from Cubstradamus.ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); Brought to you by ⁠Penguin Imprints⁠, ⁠⁠Fanarchy⁠⁠ and our ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ [...]

Many teams have tried to replicate the Saints' success with Taysom Hill. The Panthers may have finally found the guy [...]

We've reached the final checkpoint for Saints-Alvin Kamara negotiations and one thing couldn't be more obvious [...]
