Chicago Cubs update: Dansby Swanson, Bryse Wilson, David Peterson
The Cubs went 6-1 on their road trip to New York and Milwaukee, so this weekly review winds up heavy on the “Three up” side. Hopefully, that continues on the upcoming homestand against the Padres and Cardinals. Here’s who was hot and not for the Cubs on the road trip. Three up Dansby Swanson was […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Jordan Wicks is the Superhero vs. the Brewers?!?
A little bit of larceny for your weekend sport viewing? We all read from the same script. This was a probable Brewers sweep. They had their three best pitchers ready to go in the series and the Cubs had a pitching staff their own manager described as “in disarray” earlier in the week. The bulk […]
MLB News Outside The Confines: Two get the axe
Good morning.
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — June 29
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Frank Schwindel, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2004 – At Bank One Ballpark, the Diamondbacks’ 40-year-old fireballer Randy Johnson records his 4,000th career strikeout to become the fourth player in major league history to reach the plateau. The “Big Unit” needs fewer innings (3,237.1) than Nolan Ryan (3,844.2), Roger Clemens (4,151) […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Edgar Alvarez homers for Smokies
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz joined Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Kenten Egbert moves from High-A South Bend to Iowa. We’ve all heard of players on the Des Moines/Chicago Shuttle. Egbert may be the first player ever on the Des Moines/South Bend shuttle. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were grazed on by the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays), 8-5. Kenten […]
Cubs 4, Brewers 3: Jordan Wicks saves the day. No, really!
No matter what you thought the Cubs would do this year, you absolutely did not have the following on your Cubs Bingo card: “Jordan Wicks is going to post his first save of the year against the Brewers, in Milwaukee, coming into the game in the 10th inning with the bases loaded and nobody out.” […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Sunday 6/28, 1:10 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Ryan Rolison, LHP vs. Brandon Woodruff, RHP Ryan Rolison has been a pretty effective reliever for the Cubs this year. He has not allowed a run over his last 14 outings covering 17.1 innings. In that span he has a WHIP of 0.865 and 16 […]

Cubs roster move: Jordan Wicks recalled, Vince Velasquez DFA
The Cubs today recalled left-handed pitcher Jordan Wicks from Triple-A Iowa and designated right-handed pitcher Vince Velasquez for assignment. Wicks has made two starts this season for the Cubs, dropping both games. His last start came on May 31 at St. Louis. His numbers to date are pretty horrifying: 15.63 ERA, 2.211 WHIP, 13 hits […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
I think every now and then we need to reset expectations and understanding. The Cubs to this point have almost certainly left wins on the table. They had an absolutely brutal May and early June, losing a lot of winnable games. Also, due to injuries there are concerns as to if they can even sustain […]
Cubs 8, Brewers 2: David Peterson’s first Cubs start is a success
David Peterson’s first pitch as a Cub was deposited into the seats at American Family Field for a home run. You could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again,” after seeing that. But Peterson settled down and had a solid 5.2 inning, two-run outing and the Cubs rode home runs by Seiya […]
Chicago Cubs news — Suzuki, Palencia, Milner, Brown
Today’s Reflections Jacob Misiorowski. Sheesh. Why can’t the Cubs find and develops guys with just 80 percent of his ability (because there’s no possibility of hitting 100 percent because he’s a freak (respectively)). Kudos to Seiya Suzuki for picking out a 90 mile per hour slider and sending it over the wall. And for Colin […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Jaxon Wiggins rehabs with South Bend
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs got stomped on by the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays), 9-3 in 11 innings. Grant Kipp made his Triple-A debut tonight. Over 3.2 innings, Kipp gave up three runs on seven hits. Two of those hits were solo home runs. On positive side, Kipp did strike out seven while walking two. […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Saturday 6/27, 6:10 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Brewers lineup: David Peterson, LHP vs. Kyle Harrison, LHP David Peterson is having the worst year of his career. Shuttled back and forth between the Mets rotation and bullpen, he’s never […]

Cubs roster move: Bryse Wilson added, Jayden Murray optioned
Right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson was claimed on waivers by the Cubs from the Phillies earlier this week. And now, he’s on the active roster (Bluesky link): Wilson had eight years in the major leagues before 2026, with the Braves, Pirates, Brewers and White Sox. He was pretty bad for the Sox last year (6.65 ERA […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Colin Rea is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
You can’t say you didn’t see this one coming. It would have been great to get one of those “because baseball” games. But it’s always important to remember that sometimes Goliath just squashes David, the Globetrotters virtually always win and The Miz and the Brewers are going to beat the Cubs in Milwaukee. It’s a […]
Brewers 6, Cubs 2: Seiya Suzuki homers off Jacob Misiorowski, but it’s not enough
Well, come on. You didn’t really think the Cubs would defeat Jacob Misiorowski, did you? The thing is, though, that they did pretty much hold Misiorowski and the Brewers even while the Milwaukee fireballer was still in the game. Then the Cubs had another bullpen meltdown and Milwaukee won the game 6-2. For anyone who […]
Chicago Cubs news — Swanson, PCA, Boyd, Brown, Maton
Today’s Reflections After Dansby Swanson’s four RBI in Wednesday nightcap of the double-header with the Mets, PCA’s RBI double in the 10th inning gave the Cubs a 4-3 win and a four-game sweep of the Mets. Yes, it was the Mets. But this was much needed momentum going into the Brewers’ series. A lot writers […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Jace Beck strikes out 11 as Smokies keep winning
Iowa right-hander Tyler Beede has elected free agency. Right-hander Zac Leigh goes from the ACL Cubs to Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Anhuar Garcia was promoted to Low-A Myrtle Beach from the ACL Cubs. Everybody won! Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs skinned the Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays), 12-1. Andrew Wantz gave up a run in the top […]

Go get ‘em, Colin.
Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Friday 6/26, 6:45 CT
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP Well, this looks like a mismatch. Colin Rea did have a good start in his last outing, last Saturday vs. the Blue Jays, allowing no runs in 5.1 innings. He has not faced the Brewers this year. Current Brewers are batting .316 […]
