• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: First half recap

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images A look at the complete standings and top WPA games. The photo at the top of this post is an unusual image to see. Not just because of a rare appearance of the red billed Cubs hat. Kyle Tucker is coming from left field and not his familiar right field and catching the ball in front of Pete Crow-Armstrong. This was, of course, from the All-Star Game where Tucker sta...2025

Photo by Peter Joneleit/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Here are my assessments of Cubs player performances so far this year. As befits a first-place team, most of them are pretty good. The Cubs really couldn’t have done much better so far this year. They have three All-Stars, two of them starting players. They’re in first place in the NL Central, though by just one game, and have had une...2025

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images The Cubs win 4-1 to take the series from the Yankees. A terrific bounce back over the weekend for the Cubs. Two strong wins and heading into the break, the Cubs are on a really high note. They also get a full reset. They aren’t in desperate need of the reset. But I’ll go out on a limb and guess at least one or two of the players have some aches, pains, bumps an...2025

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images The Cubs bounce back behind Matthew Boyd in a 5-2 win. This team has been all over the place lately. World beaters one day and embarrassing the next. I’ve noted several times that as their starting pitching goes, so goes the game. That was evident here again. Matthew Boyd was dominant and until very late in the game, they dominated the game. This one had a nic...2025

• Cubs 5, Yankees 2: All-Star Matthew Boyd dominates

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images The Cubs lefthander threw his best game of the year. Matthew Boyd, a first-time All-Star this year, won’t be pitching in the Midsummer Classic Tuesday. Fortunately for the Cubs, Boyd put together a classic outing in his Saturday start against the Yankees. He became the first Cubs starter to go eight full innings in 2025, allowing just four hits, and the Cu...2025

Photo by Evan Bernstein/Getty Images The Cubs got blown out in the stadium that’s been a house of horrors for them for years. So one of the things the Cubs really wanted to make sure to do as they entered this three-game series against the Yankees was neutralize Aaron Judge. That, they did, at least at the plate. Judge went 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts (and a couple of walks and a sac...2025

That looks like one that you laugh and say nothing went our way. But for seven and a half innings, this game could have gone either way. But the Twins executed when they needed to and the Cubs didn’t. This is one of those gam...2025

Read about Cub Tracks

2025
"Jameson Taillon will start for the Cubs and Merrill Kelly will go for the D-backs."

2024
"Jameson Taillon will be activated from the injured list to make his season debut, and lefthander A."

2023
"In 2023, with key acquisitions such as Dansby Swanson, Cody Bellinger and Jameson Taillon, expectations for the Cubs were higher."

2022
"Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, Aroldis Chapman, Jameson Taillon, Zack Britton, Chad Green and potentially Luis Severino might all be hitting the road."

2021
"Additionally, New York announced that Jameson Taillon will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Scranton this evening."

2020
"In theory, Pirates righty Jameson Taillon would be one such player to watch, but Taillon tells Jason…"

2019
"Sooner than later, the Pirates should follow the Phillies and Yankees in inking their own excellent young righty, Jameson Taillon, for the long haul, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh-Tribune Review opines."

2018
"Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon says he's "more serious" and has a newfound maturity after being diagnosed with testicular cancer last season."

2017
"On Monday night at PNC Park, exactly five weeks and a few blocks removed from the time and place of his operation, Jameson Taillon got back to being a ballplayer."

2016
"Rookie right-hander Jameson Taillon threw six innings of one-run ball as the Pirates snapped a six-game road losing streak with an 8-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday to split a two-game Interleague series at Safeco Field."

2015
"While Vogelsong is long in the tooth, he’s a worthy add for the back of the rotation and boasts the veteran and championship pedigree the Pirates will need while prospects Jameson Taillon and Tyler Glasnow continue to develop."

2014
"The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated first baseman Ike Davis for assignment and have added pitcher Jameson Taillon to the 40-man roster."
