Cubs Stuff

Chicago Cubs fans are going to have to wait a bit to watch the team take on the Phillies on Friday as we are officially in a rain delay. [...]

Cubs manager Craig Counsell provided Jordan Bastian of MLB.com an update today on injured right-hander Javier Assad. Assad recently suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left oblique and will be shut down. Counsell didn’t provide a specific timeline but even moderate strains can lead to absences of weeks or [...]

The game is currently in a weather delay. I am not a weatherman, but the forecast looks like conditions should clear up by 3pm CT, at the latest. Check back here for updates. The Chicago Cubs open up a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies today at 1:20pm CT at historic [...]

The Chicago Cubs continue their hot start to the 2025 regular season with a 16-10 record. They just swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to take the season series, and I would not have believed that was possible following the Tokyo series. Yet here we are. The bullpen for the Cubs continues [...]

The Cubs are 16-10 and come into the weekend well-rested after a two-game sweep of the Dodgers that was bookended by days off. Almost everything is clicking for Craig Counsell‘s crew, save for third base and the bullpen. It’s not just that they’ve gotten subpar performances from those areas, it’s [...]

Third base has been a clear weakness for the Chicago Cubs this year. Although the team is managing the deficiency and finding a way to score a ton of runs witho [...]

The Cubs are thriving, but one struggling veteran bat could drag them down if changes aren’t made soon. [...]

The Cubs have weathered what has been the toughest schedule in MLB by a wide margin with tremendous aplomb, entering the weekend with a 16-10 record that ensures they’ll enter May on the right side of the .500 mark. They can be much better if they take care of business [...]

The Cubs (16-10) continued their strong start to the 2025 season by taking a pair of games from the World Series champion Dodgers at Wrigley. The offense continued to lead the way for Chicago with 18 runs scored in the two contests. Pete Crow-Armstrong in particular is absolutely raking right [...]

After a slow start, one Cubs player has quietly become one of MLB’s biggest breakout stars heading into May [...]

Ryan Pressly has saved four games for the Cubs, but he didn’t appear in either of the Cubs’ one-run wins over the Dodgers at Wrigley despite the team having Monday off. Manager Craig Counsell told reporters after the game that Porter Hodge got the save opportunity because Pressly had his [...]

The Cubs’ pitching staff has been hammered by injuries early in the season, which has served to undercut what’s been an outstanding offense. Justin Steele’s season is already over thanks to UCL surgery, and right-hander Javier Assad has yet to pitch in 2025 due to an oblique strain. The hope [...]

The Chicago Cubs' main weaknesses this year is undoubtedly the bullpen. Cubs relievers are bottom-ten in multiple categories this year, including walks per nine [...]

This probably isn’t something I’d bother covering if the Cubs were playing a game today, but they’re not and my obsessive nerdery must be catered to. After going viral due to the Yankees’ nine-homer explosion early in the season, the torpedo bat’s hype appears to be sinking. The fact that [...]

The Chicago Cubs' front office has stressed that the goal is to make Kyle Tucker fall in love with Wrigley Field before approaching the superstar outfielder wit [...]

With the Cubs enjoying one of an inordinate number of days off here in April, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a few numbers that highlight what the team and its players have done so far. We may only be 16% of the way through [...]

The Cubs and the Dodgers met on Wednesday night after a wild Tuesday contest that saw the home team tie it in the last at-bat before going on to win in extras. This was another high-scoring affair and Chicago’s bullpen was excellent, protecting a one-run lead to earn a mini-sweep. Los [...]

The Chicago Cubs are trying to sneak their way through a Seiya Suzuki injury. Suzuki first injured his wrist nearly three weeks ago when the Cubs were facing t [...]
