The Cubs are expected to send Matthew Boyd to the mound for game 4, which begins at 8:08 pm central time at Wrigley. Freddy Peralta could start on regular rest for the Brewers, which would set up a rematch of game one of the series. &nb...

NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread The Cubs fell behind the Padres 3-0 in Game 2 and could not overcome the dominant Padres bullpen, which put up 5.1 innings of one-hit pitching. That evened the series at 1-1 and forces a deciding game three. The Cubs will send Jameson Taillon out to start things on the mound. Taillon had a solid 2025 with a stronger first half and some uneveness in the second half. He pitched 6.0 against St. Louis in his last start, striking out eight, walking two, ...

This doesn't have anything to do with the Cubs series. 1 of 3 from the Cubs is what should be expected and seeing Gore look like an ace again is great. However, we are in the "stats are real now" part of the season and last time we looked at the kids whose stats said real good things about them. CJ Abrams continues to be cool but I noted his propensity for extended cold streaks was keeping him from being special. That's not the point, he's still overall good. The only one with a real issue out...
