Cubs Stuff

I would hardly give any pitcher too much of the business for giving up a home run to Nick Kurtz, much less a home run to Nick Kurtz at Wrigley Field to one of the spots where it would be a dinger in just two other ballparks. The guy has [...]

Cubs top prospect Josiah Hartshorn continued his torrid start to his High-A career with a three-hit, three-RBI, night to lead South Bend to its 11th win in the last 13. [...]

I wouldn’t TYPICALLY write up and frame an entire post around a Chicago Cubs prospect reaching a particular – and arbitrary – spot in the rankings of one service. But here’s the thing. Josiah Hartshorn’s breakout this year has been so impressive – so complete – that I think it’s [...]

I’m still thinking about that juuuuust-barely foul ball from the 9th inning last night. Outside of maybe Dansby Swanson, there’s no Cubs hitter who could’ve used a huge moment like that more than Seiya Suzuki. If that ball is a few inches to the right, the Cubs have AT LEAST [...]

The Chicago Cubs have been baseball's ultimate Jekyll-and-Hyde performer in 2026, stringing wins and losses together in a historic fashion. [...]

Former Chicago Cubs slugger Patrick Wisdom is back in the big leagues with the Seattle Mariners and wasted no time showing off his impressive power stroke. [...]

For a moment, I wondered if that headline should be a question. As in “Do the 2026 Chicago Cubs Even Have an Identity?” Or something to that effect. But that’d just be rhetorical. They do not. They don’t hit homers. They don’t have a killer bullpen. They aren’t spraying line [...]

While it was a tough day overall in the Cubs system, one of the biggest bright spots of this season, Josiah Hartshorn, starred yet again for South Bend. Elsewhere, Iowa was throttled while Knoxville and Myrtle Beach each lost tough ones. Let’s get to it. Image via MiLB Cubs Prospects Report | [...]

We recently ran a giveaway with FreshDCards that was aimed more at Mother’s Day, and now we’ve got one specifically for Father’s Day. FreshDCards offers team packs, player packs, starter sets, and display-ready plaques — all curated from real Topps, Panini, and Donruss cards — and I really dig that [...]

Out since May 19 with a back issue, utility man Matt Shaw has started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa. He played center field, got in three at bats, and hopefully is no worse for the wear. (The game was started by Justin Verlander and the I-Cubs lost 16-1, so [...]

Ope, I guess June wasn’t immediately the magical corner turn … Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong reached base to open up the 9th inning. Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong reached base to open up the 9th inning. In both instances, and for all the innings in between, more or less nothing [...]

After a miserable May, the Chicago Cubs have a golden opportunity to bounce back in June thanks to a soft schedule and returning pitching reinforcements. [...]

The Cubs started the new month pretty much the same way they ended the previous one, with a lackluster offensive performance against the Athletics Tuesday night. They suffered the loss despite a quality performance by struggling starter Jameson Taillon.ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); Chicago had an excellent early, getting runners on [...]

Less than two weeks ago, Pete Crow-Armstrong changed his setup and the trigger phase of his swing. It was the last in a multi-phase set of adjustments that has unleashed him on the league in his most dangerous form yet. [...]

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski put up a jaw-dropping performance in May, showing the Chicago Cubs the gap in talent between these two rotations. [...]

Jo Adell has worked hard to shed his reputation as a defensive liability. He even robbed three home runs in a single game back in April. It was a moment. People talked about it. The narrative was shifting. Tuesday night, however, was a blast from the past Adell would rather [...]
