Cubs Stuff

Without both Seiya Suzuki (right oblique strain) and Cody Bellinger (right rib fracture), the Cubs’ offense has slumped. From April 24 through Friday — the day Bellinger was placed on the injured list after fracturing two ribs colliding with the wall at Wrigley Field — the Cubs’ lineup was hitting .214 [...]

The Cubs were hoping to bounce back Saturday after a tough loss late in Friday’s game against the Brewers. Chicago raced out to a big early advantage before having to survive another bullpen adventure to escape with a one-run victory. Nico Hoerner opened things up with a bang, hitting a solo [...]

The Cubs currently sit at a solid 20-14 record, just one game back of the Brewers for the NL Central lead. That strong start has come in spite of a number of key injuries: staff ace Justin Steele was pulled from his Opening Day start against the Rangers due to [...]

There’ll be no in-depth look at today’s matchup because, frankly, I’m not happy with the way the Cubs have played lately and it doesn’t even seem to matter who they’re facing. Depleted roster or no, scratching out just one run at a time against guys who’ve been hammered by pretty [...]

Chicago Cubs starting shortstop Dansby Swanson wasted little time in becoming the face of the Cubs' current contention window. The 2024 season marks the first [...]
