• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 19

David Frerker-Imagn Images The Cubs’ sloppy play leads to a 10-4 loss. Monday night’s game has an awful lot to unpack. If you are an impulsive reactor, I’d say today is a day to take a deep breath. Recall that this team has played terrific baseball over the first few weeks. The frustrating aspect to the start of this season has been that the losses have been like this. The Cubs were leadi...2025

• Padres 10, Cubs 4: Another bullpen meltdown

Photo by Matt Thomas/San Diego Padres/Getty Images Things were going along fine, then... BOOM. Another homer by Michael Busch? Check. Another three-hit game from Pete Crow-Armstrong? Check. Solid starting pitching from Jameson Taillon? Check. Those things all went right Monday night in San Diego. Unfortunately, because of rough outings from three different Cubs relievers, that did not lead...2025

Fernando Tatis Jr. | Photo by Matt Thomas/San Diego Padres/Getty Images San Diego comes back from two-run deficit to stay perfect at Petco Park Manny Machado worked an 11-pitch walk with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. The walk resulted in Chicago Cubs Manager Craig Counsell taking starting pitcher Jameson Taillon out of the game with his team leading, 3-1. By the time the innin...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 17

Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images The Cubs bounce back with an offensive explosion and win 16-0. This game almost became as silly to write about in the good direction as the previous two games did in the wrong direction. The subtle difference here is that this one was a 2-0 game through six innings. The final score is not indicative of how much of a nail-biter as this one was for tho...2025

Two of the Cubs’ home run heroes from Saturday night, Carson Kelly and Michael Busch | Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images It took a while, but the Cubs brought out the big bats at Dodger Stadium Saturday evening. The Cubs and Dodgers looked like they would be locked in a classic pitcher’s duel for the first five innings of this game. Ben Brown and Roki Sasaki were both dealing, and both teams flashe...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images It was a bummer of a day as the Cubs lose 6-2. The start to this season has been so exceptional that this game is a weird feeling. The Cubs did show a brief sign of life in the fourth inning and the game was tied after four. This game was all Rangers, though. Shōta Imanaga had an uncharacteristically bad day. He allowed a couple of homers and...2025

• Dodgers 3, Cubs 0: Tommy Edman ruins Matthew Boyd’s night

Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images Boyd was throwing a real nice game until Edman interrupted it with a three-run homer. Tommy Edman has been a Cubs nemesis dating back to his days with the Cardinals. He entered Friday night’s game batting .280/.320/.500 with 13 home runs in 68 career games against the Cubs — by far his most homers against any team (next most: seven against the Pirates ...2025

Allan Henry-Imagn Images I thought we had left these in 2024. This was supposed to be a happy recap, highlighted by Kyle Tucker’s three-run homer in the eighth inning that gave the Cubs a four-run lead. Tucker has hit very well in the early going, so far he’s been worth the haul that was sent to the Astros for him. The other thing Jed Hoyer & Co. supposedly did this winter was address the ...2025
