The Cubs are on pace to shatter the franchise record for walks by hitters
The Cubs offense has been solid at times this year, sputtering at others. They currently rank fourth in MLB in runs with 520, six ahead of the division rival Brewers. One of the reasons for all those runs is that the Cubs lead MLB in walks with 448, significantly ahead of the second-best Brewers (420). […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Tigers
This game is why games like Monday hurt. Sometimes, it just isn’t your night. Tigers pitching stifled the Cubs Wednesday night. The result was a non-competitive 5-1 loss. The Cubs managed just four hits and one walk. Unless all of those hits are home runs, that just isn’t going to win many games. They did, […]
Tigers 5, Cubs 1: The story of Colin Rea and the three-run homer… again
The Cubs took an early lead, only to see it vanish when Colin Rea allowed a three-run homer. Then the offense basically vanished, and the game was put out of reach when the pen gave up an additional run in the late innings. Oh, you think I’m talking about Wednesday’s 5-1 Cubs loss to the […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Peterson, Swanson
Today’s Reflections First off, I want to mention how painful it was for me in the last Cub Tracks to be fair when it came to Jameson Taillon’s return. I placed the qualifier, “….. so if successful …..”. I was in the middle of the third paragraph on another rant about how I *feel* about […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Detroit Tigers preview, Wednesday 7/22, 7:10 CT
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Tigers lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Keider Montero, RHP Colin Rea wound up with a “quality start,” three earned runs in six innings, in his last outing last Friday vs. the Twins. That’s due to an error that made one run unearned — but really, the outing was pretty good, marred […]

The Cubs have played 101 games and have scored 519 runs. Just what does this have to do with MLB’s Trade Deadline, which comes up in just 12 days? Let’s look at some numbers from this season and then I’ll explain further. That run total of 519 ranks fourth in MLB, behind the Dodgers (526) […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero vs. the Tigers
This past weekend was the celebration of the 2016 championship Cubs on their 10-year reunion. The various gatherings and events brought back a lot of nostalgia. Tuesday night’s Cub win also brought back some of that nostalgia. This was the blueprint of so much of that season. Jump all over the other team early and […]
Cubs 11, Tigers 2: A six-run first, and Michael Conforto ties a team record
After Monday’s tough extra-inning loss to the Tigers. it was certainly fun to see the Cubs get out of the gate quickly Tuesday, with a six-run first leading to an easy 11-2 win over Detroit, evening up the series.

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Ian Happ is the Superhero vs. the Tigers
Before the All-Star break, I talked a couple of times about the number of walk-off wins, especially as compared to the number of Cubs who have saved a game in 2026. As I recall, both of those numbers sat at 10. Both of those numbers were unimaginably high in fewer than even 100 games. This […]
Tigers 8, Cubs 6: The 10th inning Wrigley Field disaster
What an odd game on an odd evening at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost the series opener to the Tigers 8-6 in 10 innings, but there’s way, way more than just that to discuss. It began with a 30-minute rain delay in which there was… well, maybe a sprinkle or two, but no rain. In […]
Chicago Cubs news — Boyd, Imanaga, Hoerner
Today’s Reflections The duo performance of Matthew Boyd and Shōta Imanaga was a huge development for the Cubs’ rotation, especially when coupled with Colin Rea’s quality start Friday. Imanaga depended on his defense for double plays and avoided the home-run ball Sunday to keep the outing smooth. Between the three starters, they combined for an […]
