It was a wild night at Wrigley Field, as the Chicago Cubs battered Jacob Misiorowski for five runs. Despite this, Chicago still lost 9-5. The Cubs gave those runs back, as David Peterson struggled, allowing six earned runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings. Ultimately, the loss dropped them nine games back of the […]

What if I had told you Wednesday afternoon that in the game in which the Cubs had to face Jacob Misiorowski, they’d pretty much give him the worst beatdown of his MLB career? You’d have been pretty happy, right? Figure the Cubs should win that game, right? Well, nope. The Cubs did do exactly that […]
The Milwaukee Brewers turned Wrigley Field into an unlikely celebration on Tuesday, rallying past the Chicago Cubs 9-4 while a noticeable contingent of Milwaukee fans made their presence felt in the stands. The result was tough enough for Chicago, but the sight and sound of Brewers supporters adding to the home crowd made the loss [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers overcame a rare rough start from ace Jacob Misiorowski on Wednesday night. While their two-time All-Star gave up five runs and saw his ERA skyrocket to 1.97, the offense was able to throw the Chicago Cubs pitching staff against the proverbial ropes and keep them there. After finding themselves down 5-3 after [...]

Today’s Reflections After some thought, I felt this was the best way to review Monday night’s game: Tyrone Taylor, Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, Seiya Suzuki, Bregman, Carson Kelly, Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto, Bregman. Team record nine home runs. National League record 62 home runs for the month. Clay Holmes, six innings, zero runs, five hits, […]
Jacob Misiorowski continues to find his name in the record books, adding another remarkable milestone Wednesday night despite struggling through his outing against the Chicago Cubs. The Milwaukee Brewers pitcher has now thrown more pitches at 100 mph or faster this season than 15 entire MLB franchises, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers. The feat stands [...]

If I had told you coming into the game that the Cubs would score five earned runs on Jacob Misiorowski, the first time he’s given up more than three earned this season, you probably wouldn’t have believed me. They jumped on the Cy Young in waiting with a leadoff walk by Pete Crow-Armstrong and a …

Box Score When it’s 90 degrees at Wrigley Field, games tend to be exciting—even when an ace is on the mound. On paper, this was a lopsided pitching matchup, with Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski facing off against the Cubs’ David Peterson. But both offenses had no trouble scoring early in this one, a back-and-forth affair that […]
I’m going to get something off my chest. Any level of baseball where the player gets paid a salary is “professional.” (Name, Image and Likeness money in college doesn’t count.) The Dominican Summer League and Arizona Complex League are professional leagues. There’s some guy on Twitter that keeps saying a player’s first hit in Myrtle […]
It seems as if there isn’t a day that goes by that Jacob Misiorowski isn’t breaking some record. He did it again on Wednesday night during a rather subpar start against the Chicago Cubs. Overall, Misiorowski has thrown more 100+ mph pitches than 15 MLB franchises this year alone, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN. That […]

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia issued a blunt statement after his rough outing cost the team against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Chicago Cubs witnessed a lead evaporate before their eyes and the Milwaukee Brewers run away with a big win in the second game of the series. In a crucial, playoff-implications game in the 2026 MLB season, relief pitcher Daniel Palencia couldn’t find his footing and was blamed for the loss.
However, far from letting that get to him, the 26-year-old...
Go get ‘em, David.
Two nights ago, the Cubs demolished the Brewers. Yesterday, the Brewers fell behind early before they bounced up off the mat and won convincingly. Tonight, they’ll send Jacob Misiorowski to the mound as they look to ensure they’ll leave Chicago with no worse than a series split. Miz will be for continued success against Chicago. […]
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP In eight starts and one relief appearance since that debacle against the Cardinals July 3, David Peterson has been outstanding: 2.35 ERA, 1.261 WHIP, although he struggled a bit in his last start, Friday against the Reds. Peterson’s first start as a […]
The Cubs have a powerful lineup and serious postseason ambitions, but one persistent weakness could bring their October run to a quick end.

The Cubs outscored the Mariners 28-11, the Diamondbacks 11-7, and the Reds 30-22, yet they lost all three series. They’re up 21-12 on the Brewers after splitting the first two games, and now need to win one more to at least break even. They no longer possess the top Wild Card spot, not that it …
