• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 110

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs stumble late in a 4-3 loss to the Orioles. Two games ago, I noted the Cubs had played .500 over the last 36 games. That number now is 38 games. This game is just stuck in neutral. While they are stuck there, the Brewers ran right past them. Nothing is over with more than 50 games remaining in the season, but as the season grows shorter, every game ba...2025

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The #1 source for #Cubs, #MLB, and #MiLB news and notes. The Cubs lost a tough one as the Orioles pecked a hole in their playoff plans, but only a small one.

• Orioles 4, Cubs 3: Those leadoff walks will just kill you

Matthew Boyd had another nice game, but it was ruined by a bullpen meltdown. | Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images The Cubs were going along just fine until a disastrous eighth inning. The headline is what baseball folks will tell you. Walks are going to happen, but leadoff walks almost always lead to bad things. That’s what happened to the Cubs in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game, af...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 107

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The Cubs were crushed by the Brewers, 9-3. If you watched the Cubs these last two days in Milwaukee and were prone to knee-jerk reactions, you’d stand pat with all of your prospect capital or shop in the clearance bin. You hate to ever use two games as any kind of litmus test. But on these two days, these are two teams headed in completely different...2025

Michael McLoone-Imagn Images The Brewers clinched the series with a 9-3 win, but we await further clarification on Chourio Box Score On May 2nd, the Cubs dismantled the Brewers. Quinn Priester pitched in that game and got beat up; he allowed seven runs in 4 1⁄3 innings, the Brewers lost 10-0, and the Cubs looked light years ahead of the Brewers.

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Will these two teams make a deal? The Royals head to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field this week, just a train ride away. They swept the Cubs there in 2021, but have lost the series to them each of the last two seasons.

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

"Then Ryan Brasier got José Ramirez to fly to center to end the inning."

2024
"The Dodgers are going with reliever Ryan Brasier as their starter for Game 4 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday as they try to avoid elimination against the Padres."

2023
"Dairon Blanco hit a grounder to first but reached when pitcher Ryan Brasier could not handle the throw from Freddie Freeman for an error."

2022
"The New York Yankees might’ve posted their sleepiest loss of the season on Sunday night at Fenway Park, getting blanked 3-0 by Michael Wacha, Ryan Brasier and Garrett Whitlock before packing up their bats — just kidding, they didn’t bring those."

2021
"Ryan Brasier knew what was on the line after he loaded the bases in the seventh inning of a one-run game against the Washington Nationals."

2019
"He also suggested the team feels comfortable with its existing options to handle the ninth inning, naming Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Tyler Thorn"

2018
"The Red Sox's much-maligned bullpen did not lack for spark on Saturday night, when Ryan Brasier yelled at Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez for stepping out of the batter's box one too many times during an at-bat in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Fenway Park."
