SB Nation Reacts survey: Where will the Cubs wind up this year?
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. Before the latest road trip, there was still some hope that the Cubs could catch the Brewers for the NL Central title. Perhaps after Monday’s big win […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Tyrone Taylor is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
The only thing missing from this game was the one real constant in August, Pete Crow-Armstrong getting in on the shenanigans. I know Al and John have already posted all kinds of numbers about this historic night and month in Cub history. From lead-off homers to walk-off homers, sometimes in the game (and by the […]
Cubs 17, Brewers 3: Alex Bregman’s 3 HR lead a franchise record 9-HR barrage
I think you can imagine how frustrated Cubs players must have been after a week-plus worth of losses to the Mariners, Diamondbacks and Reds, three of those in soul-crushing walk-off fashion. They took those frustrations out on the Brewers Monday evening at Wrigley Field, breaking the franchise record for home runs in a game that […]
Get the best of Bleed Cubbie Blue on the new SB Nation app
Today is a big day for Bleed Cubbie Blue. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Cubs. I’ve checked out this app and it’s well organized and responsive, and you can follow all BCB articles there, including game threads — where it’s being made much easier to post […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Bregman, Kelly, Imanaga
Today’s Reflections Oh, man, I was really wanting this article to be a celebration of PCA, the MVP(?) and a win of the series and start another streak of series wins. But, Shota. Craig Counsell said, “We need Shota. We need Shota. We need him to have good starts.” That’s good to say, but there […]
Cubs BCB After Dark: Should the Cubs affiliates change their name?
It’s a new week here at BCB After Dark: the grooviest hang for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Thanks for stopping by. It’s always nice to see a familiar face. There’s no cover charge and the dress code is casual. We still have a few tables available. The hostess will […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Monday 8/31, 6:40 CT
Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Clay Holmes, RHP vs. Kyle Harrison, LHP You did not expect to read these words here a few weeks ago: “Clay Holmes is the most consistent starter on the Cubs staff.” And yet, here we are. He had a rough outing in his Cubs debut, since then in three […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Brewers series preview
We had hoped that this series might be a meaningful clash for the NL Central title. Instead, the Brewers lead the division by eight games. It’s still possible for the Cubs to catch them, I suppose, but extremely unlikely. Instead, these become important games for the Cubs to hang on to the top wild card […]
Chicago Cubs update: Pete Crow-Armstrong, Seiya Suzuki, Clay Holmes
In a week when the Cubs really needed to take series, instead they lost two of three to the Diamondbacks and Reds. Pete Crow-Armstrong, though, had himself a week. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs over the past week. Three up It’s PCA’s world and we’re just living in it I put […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Reds
Well, these were supposed to be the three easiest of the 13 games in 13 days. That doesn’t mean the Cubs can’t recover and have a good stretch of games. It’s just that logistically speaking, you’d have wanted to grab at least two and hopefully three while rested and against the team drifting in the […]
Reds 7, Cubs 5: Here we go with Shōta Imanaga and the home runs again
It’s becoming clear again that Cubs left-hander Shōta Imanaga is not going to be able to be trusted with a start in a postseason game. Imanaga has had his moments on the North Side, to be sure, but Sunday night’s game was not one of them, unless you are a Reds player or fan. Imanaga […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: It’s Yankees-Red Sox season
Good morning.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — August 31
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1960 – The Pirates come from behind yet again, defeating the Giants, 7-4. Roberto Clemente hits a two-out, two-run homer and Roy Face closes the game. For the Giants, Willie Mays does his best with a single, double and […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Smokies shell Shuckers, 12-2
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were thunderstruck by the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 3-1. The I-Cubs got a very good start from Javier Assad, who allowed just one run on three hits over 5.1 innings. Assad struck out five and walked no one. Jaxon Wiggins gave the I-Cubs 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. Wiggins allowed […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds preview, Sunday 8/30, 6:20 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Reds lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Chase Burns, RHP As you know, Shōta Imanaga really struggled in his last start last Sunday in Seattle, throwing 72 pitches and allowing five hits and two walks in just two innings. Fortunately, Craig Counsell got him out of there and the Cubs won the […]

Cubs vs. Reds NBC Sunday Night Baseball Bingo
The Cubs will wrap up a wild three-game series against the Reds Sunday night. They dropped a close game on Friday 10-8 after they just couldn’t quite pull off the comeback. Saturday they left no room for error, scoring 17 runs, including the first career three home run effort from MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong. They’ll […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong is the fourth Cub to have a three-homer game and cycle in the same season
We are witnessing one of the most special seasons in Cubs history in what Pete Crow-Armstrong is accomplishing in 2026. Entering Sunday’s action: .282/.377/.567 (147-for-522) with 27 doubles, seven triples, 36 home runs, 89 RBI, 32 stolen bases and 71 walks. The .567 SLG leads the National League, as does his .944 OPS and 158 […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero vs. the Reds
We’ll start with a Heroes and Goats Note for those of you who follow the minutia. Trent Thornton’s disaster Friday ended up landing as the fifth-worst WPA game score of the season by a Cub pitcher, leaving Webb with the top four spots. Going backward through history, Daniel Palencia had two of the top four […]
Chicago Cubs news — Busch, Ramirez, Thornton, Suzuki
Today’s Reflections Obviously, since there is a special section for writers’ opinions regarding the state of the Cubs’ bullpen, that is the immediate issue. The return of some players from the IL, and the definitely adequate performance of the current bullpen up until the last week, had given the Cubs, and their followers, a false […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa hits 3 HR to beat Omaha
The Cubs have released shortstop Ed Howard. Iowa Cubs infielder Hayden Cantrelle has been placed on the Development List. Iowa right-hander Tyler Santana was activated off the Development List. Iowa right-hander Andrew Wantz was placed on the temporarily inactive list. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs calmed the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 7-6. Braxton Garrett started […]
Cubs 17, Reds 5: Pete Crow-Armstrong, you are ridiculous
The Cubs celebrated 150 years since becoming a National League franchise before Sunday’s game, with many of the team’s icons present. Then the current Cubs put on an offensive show, with its newest potential franchise player, Pete Crow-Armstrong, solidifying his claim on this year’s National League MVP award. PCA hit three home runs, also singled, […]
