Cubs Stuff

This post is a classic jinx. Once I noticed the thing, I had to write about it. And I had to do so, knowing full well that if I said it aloud, I would guarantee that the thing would be reversed as soon as tonight. Here goes anyway. Living on [...]

Cubs vs Phillies — After a walkoff win against the Mets on Sunday, the Chicago Cubs have now won five games in a row, all supported by the third best run differential (+30) in Major League Baseball. Naturally, they remain in fourth place of the NL Central, because pretty much [...]

I could count on one hand the MLB batters I’d want to see less than Nico Hoerner when the winning run is on third base with fewer than two outs. I probably wouldn’t even need my whole hand. Not only is Hoerner scorching hot to open the season, but his [...]

Last week, the resolution of outfielder Dylan Carlson’s DFA went like this: he cleared waivers (i.e., no one wanted to take his $2 million-ish contract), he was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa, he declined that assignment, and he became a free agent. From there, the possibilities were that he would sign [...]

The Cubs have won five games in a row. Their offense isn't in gear and their pitching is in tatters, but somehow, they're staying afloat. [...]

Down in the 9th inning, facing Devin Williams in a save situation. It kinda took me back to so many games in Milwaukee where the Cubs rarely made it happen. Though I had a particular game on my mind as Michael Conforto came to the plate and I let hope [...]

Nico Hoerner's sacrifice fly capped off the Chicago Cubs' sweep of the New York Mets over the weekend, but also added even more fuel to the speculation that Met [...]

My favorite mornings are the ones where the Cubs have a big comeback and/or walked it off the day before, and I get to caveat at the top of the bullets that I’ll have much more fun coming later on the walk-off/comeback itself. I get to look forward to doing [...]

The Cubs hoped getting their top right-handed slugger back would rejuvenate their lineup. Sure enough, the group has come to life a bit—but Seiya Suzuki hasn't been part of the party. [...]

The Cubs had to come back to win the series finale against the Mets, but they did it 2-1, and wrapped up the sweep! If you missed any of the highlights from Sunday’s win, or just want to enjoy them again, get after it: [...]

As the Chicago Cubs navigate an uneven start to the 2026 season, they're beginning to realize that they have a Pete Crow-Armstrong problem. After a 30-30 campai [...]

To paraphrase Michael Cerami’s much better article, the Cubs found some gumption after being officially eliminated from playoff contention to sweep the Mets at Wrigley. Nico Hoerner was the clear MVP of the series, going 4-12 with a home run on Friday and the walk-off hit in extras on Sunday. [...]

The Cubs trailed the Mets for most of the game Sunday, failing to scratch out a single run in the first eight innings. Then, in the bottom of the 9th, they rallied to even the score and proceeded to win the game in extra innings for their first sweep of [...]

Nico Freakin’ Hoerner, man! Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 10th, ghost runner Pete Crow-Armstrong advanced to third on a wild pitch from old friend Craig Kimbrel. Dansby Swanson then struck out, giving way to one of baseball’s hottest hitters in Nico Hoerner, and for some reason, the Mets [...]
