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

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
