NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread

NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread The Cubs fell behind the Padres 3-0 in Game 2 and could not overcome the dominant Padres bullpen, which put up 5.1 innings of one-hit pitching. That evened the series at 1-1 and forces a deciding game three.   The Cubs will send Jameson Taillon out to start things on the mound. Taillon had a solid 2025 with a stronger first half and some uneveness in the second half. He pitched 6.0 against St. Louis in his last start, striking out eight, walking two, ...

2025 NL Wild Card Series: Game 2 Thread

2025 NL Wild Card Series: Game 2 Thread With the Cubs down 1-0 in the top of the fifth, Craig Counsell pulled Matthew Boyd from game one of the NL Wild Card Series. Boyd had only thrown 58 pitches and allowed a single run, but the Cubs had escaped situations with runners on third with some good fortune and good defense. A pair of defensive saves by Dansby Swanson kept the Cubs trailing by just one run. The top of the Padres lineup came around and Counsell called in Daniel Palencia. He allow...

These kids aren't alright

This doesn't have anything to do with the Cubs series. 1 of 3 from the Cubs is what should be expected and seeing Gore look like an ace again is great. However, we are in the "stats are real now" part of the season and last time we looked at the kids whose stats said real good things about them. CJ Abrams continues to be cool but I noted his propensity for extended cold streaks was keeping him from being special. That's not the point, he's still overall good. The only one with a real issue out...

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Cubbies? 9/8/20

Hey baseball fans! From 1946-2015, the Chicago Cubs failed to win the National League pennant. We can blame their struggles on a plethora of factors, but the Cubs actually sported some great players during that span. Here are my top five Chicago Cubs Hall of Famers during their grueling World Series appearance drought.  Honorable Mentions: Greg Maddux and Andre Dawson The one major rule for this post is that the player has to go into the Hall as a member of the Cubs. Maddux and Dawso...
