Matt Marton-Imagn Images The Cubs win a wacky, wild one 11-10. I looked at my wife in the eighth inning. I said it’s 10-7 and the Dodgers bullpen is really good. Then I said, there have been 17 runs scored, I don’t know how anyone can assume there won’t be more scoring. That’s also about the time I started muting some people on social media.

Matt Marton-Imagn Images The Cubs won their second bonkers game of this homestand. The Cubs were behind... and then, suddenly, they weren’t.

• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fast

Photo by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025

Major League Baseball Let’s try this again, after a few more acquisitions.
