Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres preview, Tuesday 6/30, 7:05 CT
Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Padres lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. JP Sears, LHP Matthew Boyd’s return to action after his freak knee injury was pretty good, 4.2 shutout innings against the Mets last Thursday. He did walk four and threw 76 pitches, so perhaps he can ramp up to 90+ tonight. Boyd’s outing vs. the […]

The top three Cubs walk-offs of 2026… to date
Last night’s game at Wrigley Field had an air of playoff baseball from the early innings. Perhaps it was a throwback to the last time the San Diego Padres played at Wrigley Field during the Wild Card round in 2025. Or maybe it was that both the Cubs and the Padres find themselves squarely in […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Padres
I had an oh-duh moment while watching this one play out. I have to go back down the rabbit hole, because I don’t see anyone keeping the full total. I know this is 10 walk-offs. I’m pretty certain the number is three for road wins in their last at bat. But I don’t recall if […]
Cubs 3, Padres 2: Seiya Suzuki walks it off
The Cubs began a six-game homestand on a sultry, humid Monday at Wrigley Field coming off a very successful 6-1 road trip. And then the bats fell mostly silent and you could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again.” In the end, though, the Cubs got solid pitching from Shōta Imanaga and […]
Chicago Cubs news — Peterson, Wilson, Webb, Wicks
Today’s Reflections A win by a guy that the New York Mets couldn’t wait to get rid of. A bullpen game. A bullpen win. Against the Brewers. In extra innings! Yes, the bats were present: Two big games by Seiya Suzuki and Nico Hoerner. A big blast by Ian Happ. Walks were huge – by […]

Cubs roster move: Matt Shaw to injured list, Kevin Alcántara recalled
Matt Shaw left Sunday’s game in what was then considered a surprise move, Justin Dean batted for him in the ninth inning. After the game this is what we found out: Today, per Jesse Rogers, the Cubs placed Shaw on the 10-day injured list with that wrist issue: To replace Shaw on the 26-man active […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Padres series preview
The Padres’ journey this year has been somewhat similar to the Cubs’. On May 23, they defeated the A’s and were 31-20, in second place in the NL West, just half a game behind the Dodgers. Since then, they’re 12-19, the worst record in MLB. They have played a bit better recently, winning four straight […]
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 […]

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.” […]
