• Athletics 4, Cubs 3: Just... not... quite... enough... again

Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images The Cubs lost yet another one-run game. The Cubs lost to the Athletics 4-3 Tuesday at Wrigley Field. That makes them 21-28 in one-run games. Now, one-run games are not necessarily a predictor of a team’s success, but flip that record and the Cubs would be 84-67 and solidly in a wild-card spot. Even put it at .500ish at 24-25 and they’d still be competing...2024

Josh stole his 23rd base on Friday as he continues to deliver on the five-category upside that helped him ascend into one of the game's top p...2023
