2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Tigers
Before the All-Star break, I talked a couple of times about the number of walk-off wins, especially as compared to the number of Cubs who have saved a game in 2026. As I recall, both of those numbers sat at 10. Both of those numbers were unimaginably high in fewer than even 100 games. This […]
Tigers 8, Cubs 6: The 10th inning Wrigley Field disaster
What an odd game on an odd evening at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost the series opener to the Tigers 8-6 in 10 innings, but there’s way, way more than just that to discuss. It began with a 30-minute rain delay in which there was… well, maybe a sprinkle or two, but no rain. In […]
Chicago Cubs news — Boyd, Imanaga, Hoerner
Today’s Reflections The duo performance of Matthew Boyd and Shōta Imanaga was a huge development for the Cubs’ rotation, especially when coupled with Colin Rea’s quality start Friday. Imanaga depended on his defense for double plays and avoided the home-run ball Sunday to keep the outing smooth. Between the three starters, they combined for an […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Alex Bregman is the Superhero vs. the Twins
The narratives, they continue. The Cubs pick up two wins over the weekend and it’s more of what we saw before the break. The Cubs scored six and 10 in their two wins and two in their loss. This team wins by bludgeoning their opponents. Cub pitching allowed eight runs across three games. With a […]
