With the World Series set to begin Friday, the Cubs may be just days away from their offseason truly getting underway. As many holes as the Cubs have to fill this winter, at the top of the priority list is going to be starting pitching. Yes, the rotation was exceptional in the second half to the tune of a 2.89…
The CHGO Cubs crew continues their offseason report cards. Today they turn their attention to Christopher Morel and Wade Miley. Who gets a passing grade? And old friend Kyle Schwarber has advanced to the World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Will he be remembered more as a Cub or a Phillie? Join Luke Stuckmeyer, Ryan Herrera and Cody Delmendo for…
The Chicago Cubs lost the series opener vs the Marlins Monday night in Miami. The Marlins got after Cubs starter Wade Miley early, pounding him for 7 runs in only 3 innings. Christopher Morel launched his 14th homer of the year, but it was too little too late and the Cubs fell 10-3 in Miami. Join Luke, Cody, and Ryan…
Happy Monday and happy last week of August, folks.
The Cubs are headed up north to take on the Blue Jays, and they're leaving a couple of starters behind. Later in the week, they'll head to St. Louis with a couple of extra faces when rosters expand, and I'm sure there will be plenty of speculation over the next few days as to who might take up those spots.
It should be an eventful week with at least a couple of players making their MLB debuts, plus it'll be the last time Cubs fans have to see Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina playing in Cardinals jerseys on their TV screens. But first, we have to talk about what's happening in Toronto.
So let's get into it. Here's the first international edition of the Monday morning Cubs thoughts.
The Cubs have fallen to 18 games under .500 in 2022 and are in position to be sellers during trade deadline season.
Plenty of names have cropped up as potential trade candidates, and it's worth taking a look at where some of them stand as July approaches.
The Chicago Cubs took on the New York Yankees Friday Night at Yankee Stadium. The Cubs offense was sluggish but got on the board thanks to a solo homer by Jason Heyward. Wade Miley was only able to go three innings for the Cubs, eventually leaving the game with arm soreness. The game went to extra innings tied at 1-1,…
One of the most consistent qualities of Keegan Thompson’s major league career thus far has been his ability to step up and fill in a variety of roles on the Cubs’ pitching staff. In his 11 appearances so far this season, Thompson has pitched in every inning of a ballgame. He has pitched in relief as early as the second…...
First off, folks, apologies for last week.
There were no Monday morning thoughts from yours truly, and I know there was likely an uproar out in Wrigleyville because of that. But no worries, I'm back this week, and to make it up to you, I'll be packing in all the thoughts I have left from a crazy, news-filled week.
The biggest news? Fergie Jenkins was finally immortalized with a statue outside of Wrigley Field. An incredible honor, no doubt, and a day that brightened up what was otherwise a disappointing weekend for the Cubs.
We definitely have some things to talk about from this last week on the North Side, so without further ado, let's get into it. Here are your Monday morning Cubs thoughts for May 23.
With Marcus Stroman making his return on Thursday, the Cubs have pretty much their envisioned group of starters healthy. Now, they'll use that stability to help bring out more consistency in their performances.
The Cubs stayed in the win column Monday night after an eight run first inning bolted the Cubs to a 9-0 route of the Pirates. The Cubs have now won three straight games, including five of their last seven contests after a brutal 3-14 stretch. Willson Contreras hit his 100th career homer, Yan Gomes stayed hot and Wade Miley went…
