• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 45

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images An unsuccessful homecoming as the Cubs lose to the Pirates 5-4. These last few days for the Cubs have been a great example of the old baseball adage that is “momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher.” That really ends up an awkward way of saying that a strong starting pitcher performance gives you a chance to win every day, regardless of the foe. Of co...2024

• SB Nation Reacts: Cubs fans pick the closer they want to see, rather than the one they get

Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images The results might not surprise you at all. This year, Adbert Alzolay began as the Cubs closer. It did not go well. Now he’s on the IL. Hector Neris has taken over, mostly, as closer. He’s recorded six saves in seven chances, but has allowed runs in two of those six saves and in general has begun to be known as “Heart Attack Hector.” So in the most recent SB N...2024

Well, I guess for the rest of the team, they ran into that wall on Monday.

Now, perhaps we know why: Adbert Alzolay has been placed on the 15-day IL with a right forearm strain. José Cuas has been recalled from Triple A. Alzolay is the 14th Cub t...2024
