• Pirates 10, Cubs 9: What on Earth was THAT?

Photo by Justin Berl/Getty Images That was one of the weirdest baseball games you’ll ever see. One thing is for sure. Paul Skenes will NEVER forget the day he made his MLB debut. His team eventually beat the Cubs 10-9, but not until after a lot of stuff happened. Skenes was as advertised, throwing 100+ miles per hour 17 times. But he also got touched up for a Cubs home run, and after he le...2024

• Mets 4, Cubs 2: Adbert Alzolay gives up yet another home run

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images And a couple of sketchy defensive plays helped lead to this Cubs loss. Unfortunately, Adbert Alzolay is out of options. I say that because today’s hot take is that Alzolay might benefit by having some time at Triple-A Iowa to figure out why he’s serving up home runs at an alarming rate. Tuesday, it was a three-run jack by DJ Stewart that was the difference...2024
