Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants preview, Sunday 6/7, 7:30 CT
Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Giants lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Trevor McDonald, RHP Jameson Taillon has had a rough year, but also has made some very good starts, including last time out, last Tuesday against the A’s. Hope that continues. Current Giants are batting .169 (11-for-65) against Taillon, though with four home runs (two by […]
Cubs vs. Giants Sunday 6/7 game threads
Giants 2, Cubs 1: Javier Assad is magnificent, but the offense vanishes. Again. 2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Javier Assad is the Superhero vs. the Giants Cubs vs. Giants, Sunday 6/7, 7:30 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants preview, Sunday 6/7, 7:30 CT
Cubs vs. Giants NBC Sunday Night Baseball Bingo: Can the Cubs win a series at home?
Last week the Cubs were the Sunday Night game of the week on NBC against the Cardinals. It did not go well for the North Siders with the Cardinals winning 5-1. But the broadcast was pretty good, albeit a little crowded sometimes. And it turns out that Bingo is good on any network for a […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero against the Giants!
I will talk from time to time about the “shape” of a win. As much fun as these come from behind, walk-off wins are, it would be okay to have some mundane wins too. It’s ironic that Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and Pete Crow-Armstrong have been publicly seen hanging out this year. The Bears set […]
Chicago Cubs news — Counsell, Swanson, Boyd, Hoyer
Today’s Reflections Following a game like Friday’s where the Cubs were errorless on the field while seven pitchers combined for an 19-hitter, it’s refreshing to start off a Cub Tracks with Matthew Boyd’s story. And with the lineup changes and trade ultimatums discussed, it will be good to change those boos into cheers once and […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Knoxville explodes with 6 HR
The Cubs signed right-hander Andrew Wantz and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs split a doubleheader with the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), winning game one 7-5 and losing the second one 8-1. The good news in game one is that Matthew Boyd started and got the win. The bad news is […]
Cubs 3, Giants 2: Pete Crow-Armstrong homers twice and the Cubs walk it off in 10
That wasn’t the usual way to come back from an 18-3 thrashing the previous day, but the Cubs will certainly take it, I’m sure. Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two-out game-tying homer in the ninth sent the game to extra innings and when Giants right fielder Victor Bericoto fumbled Michael Busch’s single in the 10th, Dansby Swanson scampered […]

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Giants lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Landen Roupp, RHP Ben Brown has been just outstanding since he joined the Cubs rotation. Over those five starts: 1.73 ERA, 1.79 FIP, 0.846 WHIP, 29 strikeouts in 26 innings. NO home runs. In fact, Brown hasn’t allowed a home run […]

Cubs roster move: Javier Assad recalled, Ethan Roberts optioned
The Cubs keep trying to fix the pitching mix. Saturday, they recalled right-hander Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa. To make room for Assad on the 26-man roster, right-hander Ethan Roberts was optioned to Triple-A Iowa. Assad has made eight appearances for the Cubs this year (three starts) with a 5.88 ERA and 1.269 WHIP. At […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Giants
I can safely say that I got the answer to the question I posed yesterday. Well, not exactly. The question I asked was: Is it possible for the team to hit rock bottom and still end up winning the game? If that’s possible, I suppose, remains an open question. The reality is, though the Cubs […]
Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Happ, Rizzo
Today’s Reflections I could post more PCA stories (and I probably did too many), but after I went through and posted the supportive and the mixed stories about his play, I came across a couple of closed-minded, well, fellows, who were looking for a new target for the shooting range. One guy’s title was “The […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Owen Ayers drives in 5 in Smokies win
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were chicken against the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 8-4. Rough start for Jordan Wicks, who took the loss after allowing six runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings. Two of the hits were home runs. Wicks walked two and struck out five. Left fielder Chas McCormick hit a solo home […]
Edward Cabrera serves up 3 homers and the Cubs get thrashed by the Giants 18-3
I thought about it, I really did — just posting the final score here and tomorrow’s pitchers and that’s it. So, here you go: The Giants crushed the Cubs 18-3 Friday afternoon in a rain-delayed contest at Wrigley Field. There was some history made here, and I wanted to tell you about that, plus show […]

Today’s roster move: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Giants lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Robbie Ray, LHP Edward Cabrera’s return from the IL, where he sat out two weeks with a blister, comes at a time when the Cubs really need a solid outing from a starting pitcher. So all we can do is hope […]

Cubs roster move: Edward Cabrera activated from IL, Tyler Ferguson optioned
Edward Cabrera left the game May 20 against the Brewers with a blister, after throwing three innings and allowing four runs (one earned). Here’s how that happened [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. Cabrera’s year so far has been decent enough: 10 starts, 4.00 ERA, 1.352 WHIP, 47 strikeouts in 54 innings. […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Giants series preview
The Cubs and Giants will play their entire season series over the next 10 days, three this weekend at Wrigley Field and three next weekend in San Francisco. Thanks, schedule-makers. For more on the Giants, here’s Brady Klopfer, manager of our SB Nation Giants site McCovey Chronicles. There’s no way to paint the Giants season […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero vs. the A’s!
Two of my all-time favorite announcer calls are “Do you believe in miracles… Yes!” and “I don’t believe what I just saw.” Iconic quotes of iconic moments made by Al Michaels and Jack Buck, two of the all-time greats. With all due respect to both of them, despite the insane improbability of a Cubs team […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong’s walk-off single caps an incredible Cubs comeback against the A’s
In the top of the seventh inning Thursday night at Wrigley Field, I was sitting around thinking sad thoughts, after Shōta Imanaga had given up two more home runs, totaling four long balls allowed on the evening, and the Cubs trailed the Athletics 6-1. At that point — and come on, you were thinking this […]

Chicago Cubs history unpacked, June 5
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Jack Neely, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 2008 Chipper Jones hits his 400th career home run, becoming the third switch-hitter to reach this level, after Eddie Murray and Mickey Mantle. Ricky Nolasco gives up the homer. Jones has a four-hit game to move his average to .418, the […]
