There are still 17 games left and nothing is guaranteed just yet, but the Cubs have announced the chance for fans to register for the opportunity to purchase postseason tickets.
This feature is running on Tuesday rather than its usual Monday slot due to the Labor Day holiday. It includes only the seven games against the Brewers and Marlins last week, not Monday’s game.
Pete Crow-Armstrong has homered eight times across five of the Cubs’ last 10 games, yet his team is 2-3 when he homers and 5-5 overall. That doesn’t mean he’s any less valuable than his season statistics clearly indicate, but it’s a reminder that one player can’t do it all.
Throughout MLB history, 34 players have won the AL or NL MVP Awards more than once. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?
I see a lot of discussion on this one. Craig Counsell has hit the point where he’s deciding between two less than optimal options. The Cubs had to decide between a tiring starter or a bullpen that has not even one lockdown arm out there.
The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
The Chicago Cubs, on Monday, blew a prime opportunity to beat the division rival Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. A Labor Day win may not have meant a whole lot in the race for the NL Central Division top spot—the Cubs still would’ve been six games behind with precious little time left in the regular season.
MILWAUKEE — Before I begin my critique of Cubs manager Craig Counsell, the Cubs’ 4-3 loss to the Brewers Monday was a really good ballgame in front of a packed house that had to be close to 40 percent Cubs fans.
When the Chicago Cubs pulled the trigger on the trade with the Houston Astros to bring Kyle Tucker home, there weren’t too many fans crying over the cost.
The Chicago Cubs shifted Seiya Suzuki to designated hitter Monday as they opened a three-game series against the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. Manager Craig Counsell made the move after Suzuki started all three weekend games in right field during a series against the Miami Marlins.
The Chicago Cubs' hopes of catching the Milwaukee Brewers at the top of the NL Central are all but dead. They would have essentially needed to sweep their four-game set with the squad last week, but they walked away with a solid split.
When the Chicago Cubs made their trade deadline moves, the focus was understandably on pitching. To bolster an injury-hobbled pitching staff, the team acquired Kevin Gausman, Ryan Zeferjahn, Braxton Garrett, and Clay Holmes before the end of the deadline.
Even the most successful regular-season teams in Major League Baseball have failed to win it all. Here's our list of 20 such clubs that fall into that category.
The Chicago Cubs are gearing up for what they hope is a lengthy playoff run. If all goes to plan, Edward Cabrera would be operating in a pivotal role out of the bullpen.
Furthering his MVP case, Pete Crow-Armstrong made history in multiple ways despite the Chicago Cubs' loss on Sunday.
A member of the Miami Marlins made history on Saturday despite the team suffering a 6-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs. When Griffin Conine came up to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning, he did so with Miami trailing 5-2.
Ian Happ drove in two runs, and Michael Conforto slugged a solo homer as the Chicago Cubs defeated the host Miami Marlins 6-5 on Saturday. Ryan Zeferjahn got the final five outs without allowing a run to earn his first save with the Cubs and fifth of the season.
San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds was easily the best player in baseball between 2001 and 2004. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong may match Bonds' value this season.
The Chicago Cubs recalled right-hander Javier Assad to start Saturday's road game against the Miami Marlins. To clear a roster spot, the Cubs optioned right-hander Tyler Ferguson to Triple-A Iowa.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is currently dealing with an injury. According to MLB.com, Swanson is dealing with a left side/oblique strain. MLB.com also reports that while Swanson is swinging a bat every day and participating in defensive work and agility/running drills, the infielder is expected to miss at least two more weeks.
The Chicago Cubs have been bitten by the injury bug throughout the entire season.
The Chicago Cubs received encouraging news on Jacob Webb after the reliever was struck by a 102.5 mph line drive during Wednesday night’s 9-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
It has been quite some time since the Chicago Cubs have seen their former ace, left-hander Justin Steele take the mound.
