Chicago Cubs

It's no secret that, overall, it's been a down season for Dansby Swanson. The ꧅offensive results haven't matched last year, which also weren't quite where you hoped they'd be. Some weird early-season issues on defense also clo🐬uded things a bit....

[BN_drinks] Surprise, surprise. Shota Imanaga was e♚xcellent AGAꦯIN last night, striking out 11 Oakland A's at Wrigley Field en route to his 18th quality start of the season. //twitter.com/WatchMarquee/status/1835856890649329780 Imanaga's final line — 6.0 IP, 5H, 2ER, 3BB, 11K — beautiful as always....

T🧸he Chicago Cubs returned to Wrigley Field last night to open up the final homestand of the year. Shōta Imanaga dominated the A♒'s, and the Cubs' bats showed up in force in a 9-2 win. Things prooooobably aren't going to...

The Cubs brought the bats home with them from the road trip, scoring quickly and profusely in tonight's blowout win. The Cubs had six runs before the second inning was over, and juꦰst about everyone got in on the fun...

The Cubs opened up the second inning by going singl🉐e, single, single,♋ single, and already had a three-run lead on the A's when Dansby Swanson came up. He did not join the singles party: //twitter.com/Cubs/status/1835836908783480950 One of those earlier singles,...

Although he has long been cele🐭brated for his glove and his feet, Pete Crow-Armstrong has been 🧸showing off his considerable offensive upside for a month and a half at this point. He continued the run yesterday in Colorado with homer...

I won't duplicate too much of what I just wrote about Cody Bellinger and his opt-out decision, because I stand by it all, but I do want to share a report on that front. Bob Nightengale writes - very matter-of-fact𓆏ly...

[BN_drinks] CUBS VS ATHLETICS — Although I know that th꧅e day tꦉhe season ends, I'll instantly miss baseball ... I am otherwise ready for this to all be over. This has been such a weird and disappointing year, filled with...

The Triple-A Iowa Cubs have one🀅 more week left in their season, and they played their final home game yesterday. I'll dispense quickly with the part where they gave up 17 runs and did not win (eep), and will instead...

The Cubs really didn't want to let this one slip away, adding a fl💯urry of runs late to insure the lead, including homers from Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong in the 9th. Good thing, as Keegan Thompson loaded the bases...

Whatever happens today with the big league Cubs and their series in Colorado, at least the Iowa Cubs are having a mighty fun day at home🦋 already. Through two innings, the I-Cubs have already scored six runs. You have outfield...

The Bear is a "comedy" in the same way 𒊎🧜that the 2024 Chicago Cubs are a comedy. The humor is there, but it is incidental to the haunting, and occasionally beautiful, mix of drama and horror. Which is to say,...

A nice milestone reached for top Chicago Cubs prospect Matt Shaw, who clubbed his 20th home run of the 2024 season. That, combined with his 28 stolen bases, mꦐakes Shaw the first 20-20 player in the system: //twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1835117475844751721 Shaw is...
