• Cardinals 8, Cubs 6: Well, that was ugly, despite another great game from Michael Busch

Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images A stirring comeback went for naught when the Cubs bullpen blew up in the eighth. The Cubs bullpen has been so good this year that having an inning like the one Brad Keller had in the eighth inning of the Cubs’ 8-6 loss to the Cardinals is, frankly, shocking. It turned on one play in that inning, and I’ll get to that, but first things first. The Drew Pom...2025

Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Cubs step back into top spot but rest of NL Central is still on their tail Welcome to the 15th week of our NL Central Power Rankings! We’ll release these rankings each week to grade all five teams and place them one through five. As everyone knows with power rankings, these should be taken as gospel and they’re obviously 100% accurate. Without further ado, let’s ra...2025

• Cubs 11, Cardinals 3: Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong lead the team to a franchise record

Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images Cubs home runs flew out of Wrigley Field as we have never seen them before. The Cubs first hit seven home runs in a game at Wrigley Field in the second game of a doubleheader against the Mets June 11, 1967. Among the long-ball hitters that afternoon were Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and Ron Santo. That franchise record had been tied three times, before Fri...2025

• Cubs 1, Guardians 0: Matt Shaw walks it off

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs get great pitching and just enough offense and complete a series sweep. The Cubs offense nearly disappeared Thursday evening at Wrigley Field against the Guardians. They had just three hits, all singles. That plus three walks was the extent of the offense, and in the first nine innings just two Cubs got past first base. Eleven Cubs struck out. But th...2025

Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images The Cubs return home and pick up a 5-2 win. If any part of you thinks the Cubs front office doesn’t understand this team and what is has to offer, then you have to appreciate the way the last couple of weeks have played out. It feels like a single solitary variable. Good start? If yes, then they win. I suppose Sunday’s game was the one exception. But ev...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 84

Photo by Scott Kane/Getty Images No offense in Houston, and the Cubs lose 2-0. Two things can be true at once. Framber Valdez is a very good pitcher, having a very good season who executed very well on Sunday. I think it would be unfair not to start there. That’s really the story of this game. That said, at some point, an offense should break through against a left handed starter. Right h...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images The Cubs won the series behind good pitching from Jameson Taillon, three hits from Pete Crow-Armstrong, and a Michael Busch home run. After dropping the first game of this series to the Reds and looking kind of flat doing it, the Cubs won Saturday behind stellar pitching, and then took the offensive tack on Sunday, with a varied attack that included 10 hits, a coup...2025

There definitely was a point in life where if at all possible I was either watching or listening. A combination of parenting and adulting along with a dose of really bad Cubs baseball pushed me to so...2025

• Reds 6, Cubs 4: A late-inning rally comes up short

Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Cubs fell too far behind early and couldn’t come back despite Justin Turner’s first Cubs homer. And Miguel Amaya might have an injured list stint in his future. The Cubs trailed 6-2 in the seventh inning Saturday and, well... you had to have the fleeting thought, at least, that they’d pull another miracle late-inning comeback, as they did from the same score...2025

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."
