Cubs Minor League Wrap: Knoxville knocks out Lookouts, 6-5
Labor Day is the traditional end of the Minor League season, but that’s gone a bit by the wayside with the reorganization of the minors in 2021. However, Labor Day is late enough this year that the regular season ends today for South Bend and Myrtle Beach. However, South Bend’s season will continue next week […]
Marlins 10, Cubs 3: Pete Crow-Armstrong hits his 40th, but it just wasn’t Clay Holmes’ day
This one, I am sure, you had fairly high confidence in the Cubs’ chances, what with Clay Holmes on the mound. Holmes had an ERA of 0.36 over his last four starts and had been solid all year between the Mets and Cubs rotations. Welp. Holmes not only had his worst start as a Cub, […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ryan Zeferjahn is the Superhero vs. the Marlins
For a very short amount of time, it was en vogue to note a so called Cubbie Occurrence. That Ryan Zeferjahn borderline pitch that ended up being ball four and not a game ending strike three was the kind of thing that we used to see spiral to one of those occurrences. Hat tip to […]
Chicago Cubs news — Imanaga, Ramirez, PCA
Today’s Reflections Shōta Imanaga = Don’t pitch in Wrigley? Or get a haircut before the rest of his starts? Imanaga pitched into the seventh inning Friday night, allowing only three hits without a walk while striking out four in the Cubs’ 6-1 win. Imanaga allowed a single in the bottom of the seventh, which Aaron […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: The Smokies shut down the Lookouts, 4-0
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were sent to Davy Jones’ Locker by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 10-5. Andrew Wantz started and held the Clippers to just one run on three hits over four innings. Wants walked one and struck out three. Gavin Hollowell pitched one inning in a rehab assignment and allowed one run on […]
Cubs 6, Marlins 5: Ryan Zeferjahn is the 14th Cub to record a save this year
You know, based on the number of baserunners the Cubs had in this game — 13 hits and six walks, not to mention a hit batsman — they should have scored many, many more than six runs. RISPy business, again — 4-for-18 (!) with runners in scoring position, 11 men left on base, and more […]

Go get ‘em, Javier.
Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins preview, Saturday 9/5, 3:10 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Ryan Gusto, RHP In the words we used to use all the time for Kyle Hendricks: “All he does is get guys out.” That really does apply to Javier Assad, who returns to make this start. The assumption I make is […]

SB Nation Reacts: The Cubs will be the first Wild Card
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. These sorts of surveys can be pretty fickle, especially when the Wild Card standings are changing nearly on a daily basis. To recap: I asked you on […]
Cubs roster move: Javier Assad recalled, Tyler Ferguson optioned
Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced in his postgame remarks Friday that Javier Assad would start today’s game against the Marlins. And so, Assad has indeed been recalled from his relegation to Triple-A Iowa and has rejoined the 28-man active roster for the start this afternoon. Overall this year in 22 games covering 83.1 innings, Assad […]
The Short Porch is looking at Daniel Palencia’s splits
The final game of the Cubs four-game series against the Brewers saw the Cubs eke out a series split on the back of a pitcher’s duel. Kevin Gausman and a pair of Ryans (Zeferjahn and Rolison) combined to hold the Brewers to one run while striking out 10, walking just one and surrendering five hits. […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Shōta Imanaga is the Superhero vs. the Marlins
This was not a vintage 2026 Cubs win, though another win by five runs is plenty acceptable. This one didn’t get out of hand and there wasn’t a lot of offensive heroics. Largely, the offense had one very good inning and the team rode that and really strong pitching to a second straight win. The […]
Cubs 6, Marlins 1: Shōta Imanaga gives Miami a haircut
In the preview to this game that I posted Friday afternoon, I wrote: Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. Well. Couldn’t be happier to have been wrong about that. Imanaga had one of his best outings of the 2026 season, allowing just […]
Chicago Cubs news — Gausman, PCA, Zeferjahn, Rolison, Bregman
Today’s Reflections What an interesting pair of games. In one, the Cubs faced the NL Cy Young favorite, chased him by scoring five runs in four innings — and lost. And in the other, the Cubs’ offense was smothered by yet another up-and-coming Brewer SP, balanced by an elite Cub SP performance. Yet, the Cubs […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Alexey Lumpuy has 5 hits as South Bend routs Cedar Rapids
Iowa right-hander Andrew Wantz was activated off the temporarily inactive list. Iowa second baseman Hayden Cantrelle went to the development list. Knoxville right-hander Brody McCullough went to the development list. Knoxville right-hander Luis Martinez-Gomez comes off the 7-day injured list. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were broadsided by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 7-1. Braxton Garrett […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins preview, Friday 9/4, 6:10 CT
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Janson Junk, RHP Well. Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. He’s been back to bad Shōta lately, with a 7.13 ERA and 1.528 WHIP over his last four starts, with eight (!) […]

Caleb Williams and other stars cheered on PCA at Wrigley, an elite moment for Chicago sports
Thursday night I did something I rarely do when I have a ticket at the corner of Clark and Addison, I watched the game from Gallagher Way. It was a wild experience in a number of ways and one I’ll certainly do again someday. Aside from the video board being slightly delayed, I found the […]
