UNREAL. That game was nuts. I’m just so happy it ended like that. A second straight extra-inning game, but this time a win. I’ve got that same buzz as I had for Friday’s game, you know? That crazy Diamondbacks win? That’s the Diamondbacks game I want to remember right at this moment, not Sunday’s extra-innings loss. Come on, Brett! Get ahold of yourself! The Cubs let a big lead slip…

You probably COULD script it better, but man, real life doesn’t get much better than that. The Cubs battled all night with the Dodgers, eventually falling behind by three runs late. But Kyle Tucker didn’t hear no bell: King Tuck makes this a one-run game. pic.twitter.com/C8nW7CILKJ— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 23, 2025 With newly-called-up reliever Gavin Hollowell holding the Dodgers scoreless, the Cubs were down to their final out when…

[Feldco] With a runner on third and just one out, all Pete Crow-Armstrong needed to do was put the ball in play. Just a nudge. Just a tap, tap, tap-a-roo. After a battle with Dustin May, PCA did a lot more than just a tap: May the odds be in Pete’s favor. pic.twitter.com/VE7pmktLyP— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 23, 2025 Obliterated. You *may* have clocked Dustin’s sadness there, as it was…

This is potentially not good. Javier Assad, a presumptive member of the big league Cubs’ rotation to open to the season, was delayed by a spring oblique injury. After a long and careful rehab process, he was able to make his first start back at Iowa last week. By all accounts, it was very successful. Tonight was start number two, and it was going well for four innings. Then this…

Cubs vs Dodgers — Once again, the Cubs are forced to play the Dodgers … though at least this one is at home and bookended by two off-days. That should help. Even still, by the end of this week, the Cubs will have met the NL West powerhouse a total of seven times before playing even ONE game against an NL Central squad — weird (and tough) way to start…

As expected, the Chicago Cubs are making another internal pitching move ahead of tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, though we know only half of the move so far. Per the team transaction wire, lefty Jordan Wicks has been optioned back to Triple-A Iowa. It was probably a disappointed turn for Wicks, who was brought up to be a bulk lefty against an Arizona Diamondbacks team that struggles against…

As scooped by Steve Adams at MLBTR, the Chicago Cubs are signing former Diamondbacks reliever Peter Solomon to a minor league deal. The 28-year-old righty has a long track record in professional baseball since the Astros drafted him in the 4th round back in 2017, but only 27.1 innings of big league experience in parts of 2021 and 2023. He spent the 2024 season at Triple-A for the Texas Rangers,…

Before we even begin to discuss these latest Cubs trade rumors, I’m going to remind you that we are not even out of April … it is ABSURDLY early for this sort of conversation. The Cubs, yes, will be making smaller moves constantly (like yesterday’s Drew Pomeranz addition), but MAJOR trades are always extremely unlikely this early. Nonetheless, Bruce Levine has clearly heard something about the Cubs’ early intentions on…

For roughly the 10th time in the last 10 years, I’m trying to habituate myself to meditation. I know that it’s good for me. It works. It helps. I always appreciate it when I get into a little stretch of pulling it off multiple days in a row. But then it always lapses. I don’t know why, unlike virtually every other habit I’ve tried to cultivate, I haven’t been able…
