2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 21
There were no guarantees based on sequencing, but the Mets drew an awfully short stick for extra innings. You know, just how things go when your team is tailspinning. When Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out to end the ninth, it meant he’d be the placed runner to start the 10th. Once Caleb Thielbar escaped the top […]

Cubs 2, Mets 1: Nico Hoerner’s sac fly gives the Cubs a series sweep
Honestly? I thought I was going to be writing another “The Cubs didn’t hit with RISP” recap and that the Cubs would lose this game by not scoring, because they went into the ninth inning 0-for-6 with RISP. Thank you, Cubs, for proving me wrong. Michael Conforto’s RBI double in the ninth tied the game […]

The Mets’ losing streak goes to eleven
For a while there, it looked like the Mets would finally win a baseball game. But they’ll have to wait until at least Tuesday to break their losing streak, as Devin Williams blew his save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth before the Cubs scored a walk-off sac fly in the bottom of the […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 20
Jameson Taillon did not look sharp early and then said as much during his postgame interview. But he got better as his start wore on. Just under half of Jameson’s starts as a Cub have been quality starts. We all know that not all quality starts are created equal. Without any digging, there are some […]

Cubs 4, Mets 2: Carson Kelly’s pinch home run wins the game
It’s a strategy familiar to anyone who follows baseball. Middle innings, team rallying, left-handed hitter comes up. The team on defense sends in a left-handed reliever. The batting team counters with a right-handed pinch-hitter. That was the scenario in the bottom of the sixth on a sunny, but chilly Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The […]
