• Could Carson Kelly have the best hitting season ever for a Cubs catcher?

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images It’s worth a look, anyway. Carson Kelly is off to a fantastic — and wholly unexpected — start for the Chicago Cubs in 2025. In 20 games, with 80 plate appearances, Kelly is batting .361/.500/.820 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored, 17 walks and only seven strikeouts. He remains, as of Tuesday morning, the only MLB player with at least eight...2025

• Cubs 6, Brewers 2: Pete Crow-Armstrong does it again

Benny Sieu-Imagn Images The Cubs center fielder homered for the third time in the last two games. Pete Crow-Armstrong has had a strange road trip. In the five games played so far, PCA has four home runs. That’s really good! But... those are his only hits on the trip, giving him a weird slash line of .190/.190/.762 (4-for-21) over the five games. Also, he’s only struck out once on the trip....2025

• Cubs 10, Brewers 0: Scoring early and often

Photo by Kylie Bridenhagen/MLB Photos via Getty Images Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong led the way with home runs. It wasn’t until the 33rd game of the 2025 MLB season that the Cubs met their divisional rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers. And in that 33rd game, the Cubs made a strong statement that they want to take the NL Central crown away from the Brewers, who took it three of the last...2025

• Cubs 8, Pirates 3: Seiya Suzuki leads a home-run barrage off Paul Skenes

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Cubs did something off Skenes that had never before been done by any team. After the Cubs lost Wednesday evening, with Paul Skenes looming on the horizon, a series loss might have been possible. “Not for this Cubs team,” said Cubs hitters. They smashed four home runs, three of them off Skenes — in one inning, the fifth. Dansby Swanson, Kyle Tucker ...2025

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Cubs smashed four home runs. Shōta Imanaga left the game with an apparent injury, but should be fine. The Cubs had lost two in a row and not looked good doing it completing their most recent homestand. That’s why their offensive explosion against the Pirates Tuesday evening was especially nice to see. Cubs batters hit four home runs, part of a 13-h...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs won this brief two-game set — and the season series — from the supposedly mighty Dodgers. I told you this was a good Cubs team! They spotted the Dodgers a lead, came back to take a one-run advantage, blew that lead partly on bad defense, then came back again and held on with solid relief pitching to defeat the Dodgers 7-6 Wednesday e...2025

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images Some notes on how unusual this trade is, plus some numbers. I think it’s reasonable to say that most Cubs fans are excited about Friday’s trade that brought Kyle Tucker to the Cubs. Even if Tucker does leave via free agency after one season, the addition of a hitter of his caliber gives the Cubs an excellent chance to win the NL Central...2024

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images The Cubs just completed their best road trip in many years. You did not expect an 8-1 Cubs road trip. None of us did. And yet, the Cubs, playing their best baseball of the year, did it at exactly the time they needed to, completing a three-game sweep of the Nationals with a convincing 14-1 win. It’s their sixth win in a row, a season high. They’ve also w...2024

Rafael Suanes-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs again put together a big rally and held on for the win. There’s something about this team... I suspect you see it too. It took nearly the entire season to get there, but now the Chicago Cubs don’t seem to mind if they fall behind. There’s always a rally within them, and that was the case again Saturday in a come-from-behind 5-3 win over the Nationals...2024
