  • Chicago Cubs Are Back In The Postseason
    2025/09/18
    The Cubs are playing in October for the first time in many years. Today's win in Pittsburgh guarantees the team its first postseason since the short 60-game season in 2020. So, really, 2018 was the last time. A look back at March predictions show a pretty good success rate. PCA with an incredible year. He, Tucker and Suzuki established themselves as the 3 leaders of the offense. The starting rotation would face adversity, but depth would allow the team to continue on. The 87-win total has already been foiled, but that's a good thing in reality. Not mentioned in today's episode, but worth pointing out is the fact that Nico Hoerner has a shot at the National League batting title. His recent hot streak has raised his batting average to .301. Trea Turner, currently injured, leads the NL at .305. So, if Nico can go something like 16-for-40 the rest of the way, he'd overtake Turner. Unlikely, but still something. In an era of advanced metrics, there's still value in someone who gets a hit 30% of the time. News and notes from around Major League Baseball and more.

  • Cubs Collapse Is Epic, But Hope Remains
    2025/08/17
    It's been a tough stretch for the Chicago Cubs. 2 months of .500 ball. A 15-game swing with Milwaukee over the last 2 months. But, there is hope. If the Cubs can take 4 of 5 from the Brewers this week at Wrigley Field, perhaps there's a reasonable shot at the division. If not, it's all about the wild card. Rotation reinforcements are back. Jameson Taillon should return for the Brewers series. Javier Assad returned this week and is on the bump today. Brewers have been on a ridiculous tear, but no one has won a World Series in early August.
