• Cubs 5, Guardians 4: You keep me hangin’ on

Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images The Cubs survived a ninth-inning Cleveland rally and won the second game of the series. Wednesday night’s game was not Shōta Imanaga’s finest hour. He served up three home runs. Wednesday night’s game was not Daniel Palencia’s best save opportunity. He issued a walk and threw a wild pitch and allowed a run. Despite all that, the Cubs managed just enough ...2025

Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images The Cubs return home and pick up a 5-2 win. If any part of you thinks the Cubs front office doesn’t understand this team and what is has to offer, then you have to appreciate the way the last couple of weeks have played out. It feels like a single solitary variable. Good start? If yes, then they win. I suppose Sunday’s game was the one exception. But ev...2025

Photo by Scott Kane/Getty Images No offense in Houston, and the Cubs lose 2-0. Two things can be true at once. Framber Valdez is a very good pitcher, having a very good season who executed very well on Sunday. I think it would be unfair not to start there. That’s really the story of this game. That said, at some point, an offense should break through against a left handed starter. Right h...2025

• Astros 2, Cubs 0: Jameson Taillon threw 107 pitches. A bad one cost them the game

Erik Williams-Imagn Images ... and that, as they say, was that. What an odd little game this was, the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Astros Sunday afternoon. Of course, you’re not going to win many games when you have just six hits and go 1-for-9 with RISP. But what I also want to talk about is Jameson Taillon’s outing. He threw a ridiculous number of pitches in the first inning alone, 30 in all. S...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs broke out the big bats and blew out the Astros. This game started distressingly like Friday’s. The Cubs managed a first-inning run, but could have had more. Then they stopped hitting and gave up the lead. Just when you thought the bats would remain silent, the Cubs exploded for a seven-run fourth and coasted to a 12-3 win over the As...2025
