• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 42

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs offense was missing in action in a 2-0 loss in Atlanta. That was a disappointing loss. The Braves have a deep and talented team and Shōta Imanaga shut them out for five innings. Hayden Wesneski followed and had just one hiccup but that was enough for the Braves to put together two wins and pull out the win. The numbers suggested going into the g...2024

• Braves 2, Cubs 0: Wasting another good Shōta Imanaga start

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images The Cubs starter threw well again, but the Cubs could not generate any offense. Shōta Imanaga continued his run of great starts for the Cubs Monday in Atlanta. Unfortunately, he walked a few more than usual and ran up a high pitch count and could throw only five innings. Hayden Wesneski, who’s also thrown well, entered in the sixth and the Braves scored a...2024

• Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, May 13 edition

Photo by Brandon Sloter/Getty Images The Cubs split six games over the last week. The Cubs lost two of three to the Padres at home last week, then took two of three in a wacky series in Pittsburgh. The latter evened up their road record at 11-11. Here’s a look at who’s hot and who’s not for the Cubs over the last six games.

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs’ former closer blew another lead Friday. At this point, I don’t think the Cubs have any choice but to place Adbert Alzolay on the injured list, don’t really care what sort of injury he has — heck, is a “mental break” enough? Because the team cannot continue to throw Alzolay out there in close games. He can’t locate his slider and his mechanics ...2024
