SB Nation Reacts Survey: How many steals will Pete Crow-Armstrong finish with?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is having a spectacular season. This, you already know. He’s the likely National League MVP and is close to setting a record […]
Chicago Cubs update: Alex Bregman, Nico Hoerner, Tyrone Taylor
This feature is running on Tuesday rather than its usual Monday slot due to the Labor Day holiday. It includes only the seven games against the Brewers and Marlins last week, not Monday’s game. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs over those seven games. Three up Alex Bregman has kept his hot […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
I see a lot of discussion on this one. Craig Counsell has hit the point where he’s deciding between two less than optimal options. The Cubs had to decide between a tiring starter or a bullpen that has not even one lockdown arm out there. The closest thing they’ve had to a lockdown arm has […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Conforto, Jeferzahn, Hoerner, Happ
Today’s Reflections I hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend. I’m sure the baseball writers did, given the paltry number of articles written that weren’t repetitive ones about PCA’s 40th. Obviously, Pete Crow-Armstrong joining Billy Williams as the only Chicago Cubs lefthanded hitters to hit 40 home runs in a season was the highlight of the […]

Brewers 4, Cubs 3: In which Craig Counsell again leaves his starting pitcher in one batter too long
MILWAUKEE — Before I begin my critique of Cubs manager Craig Counsell, the Cubs’ 4-3 loss to the Brewers Monday was a really good ballgame in front of a packed house that had to be close to 40 percent Cubs fans. Well worth the drive up despite the loss. Anyway. Situation: The game’s going into […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Monday 9/7, 1:10 CT
MILWAUKEE — First, a site note: The “3 up, 3 down” feature that normally runs on Mondays will appear this week on Tuesday due to the Labor Day holiday. Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Robert Gasser, LHP This is the first of three pitching rematches from last week’s series at […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Brewers series preview
MILWAUKEE — Yes, I made the drive up, but just for Monday’s game. Since these two teams split a four-game series at Wrigley Field last week, the Cubs won two of three in Miami and the Brewers lost two of three in Cincinnati, and the Cubs trail the Brewers in the NL Central by seven […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Michael Conforto is the Superhero vs. the Marlins
Sunday afternoon saw a terrific catch be Tyrone Taylor in left field, robbing a homer, as well as Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 40th homer. One of those two things has now happened by a left-handed hitter just twice in all of Cubs history. One of the things playing for the Cubs, be it PCA hitting his 40th […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: The fashion police invade baseball
Good morning. From our top story, it appears silly season came early this year.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — September 7
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Mark Prior, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1998 – Mariners’ OF Ken Griffey, Jr. has four hits, including two homers, and reaches the 50-home run level. He’s the third player to do so in successive seasons. Seattle defeats the Orioles, 11 – 1, […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Knoxville knocks out Lookouts, 6-5
Labor Day is the traditional end of the Minor League season, but that’s gone a bit by the wayside with the reorganization of the minors in 2021. However, Labor Day is late enough this year that the regular season ends today for South Bend and Myrtle Beach. However, South Bend’s season will continue next week […]
Marlins 10, Cubs 3: Pete Crow-Armstrong hits his 40th, but it just wasn’t Clay Holmes’ day
This one, I am sure, you had fairly high confidence in the Cubs’ chances, what with Clay Holmes on the mound. Holmes had an ERA of 0.36 over his last four starts and had been solid all year between the Mets and Cubs rotations. Welp. Holmes not only had his worst start as a Cub, […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins preview, Sunday 9/6, 12:40 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Clay Holmes, RHP vs. Tyler Phillips, RHP Clay Holmes with the Cubs: Five starts, 1.55 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, just one home run allowed in 29 innings. As a member of the Mets last year, Holmes faced the Marlins four times and posted a 3.00 ERA in 21 innings — […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ryan Zeferjahn is the Superhero vs. the Marlins
For a very short amount of time, it was en vogue to note a so called Cubbie Occurrence. That Ryan Zeferjahn borderline pitch that ended up being ball four and not a game ending strike three was the kind of thing that we used to see spiral to one of those occurrences. Hat tip to […]
Chicago Cubs news — Imanaga, Ramirez, PCA
Today’s Reflections Shōta Imanaga = Don’t pitch in Wrigley? Or get a haircut before the rest of his starts? Imanaga pitched into the seventh inning Friday night, allowing only three hits without a walk while striking out four in the Cubs’ 6-1 win. Imanaga allowed a single in the bottom of the seventh, which Aaron […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: The Smokies shut down the Lookouts, 4-0
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were sent to Davy Jones’ Locker by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 10-5. Andrew Wantz started and held the Clippers to just one run on three hits over four innings. Wants walked one and struck out three. Gavin Hollowell pitched one inning in a rehab assignment and allowed one run on […]
Cubs 6, Marlins 5: Ryan Zeferjahn is the 14th Cub to record a save this year
You know, based on the number of baserunners the Cubs had in this game — 13 hits and six walks, not to mention a hit batsman — they should have scored many, many more than six runs. RISPy business, again — 4-for-18 (!) with runners in scoring position, 11 men left on base, and more […]
