Cubs reach the halfway point with a road win
Pardon the brevity today, I’m on the road again. I’m on an 8:45 ET flight back to the Chicago area. Once there, I’ll pick up a moving truck, making one stop in Northwest Indiana and a second in Peoria. Then Thursday morning I set out on a two-day drive in said moving truck to State College, PA, where my oldest daughter will begin her graduate work. I plan to bring you all of the Heroes and Goats over the...

Unfortunately, Kyle Hendricks left the game with a shoulder issue.
When last we met in recap-land, a Seiya Suzuki inside-the-park homer had given the Cubs the lead and could have led to one of the most exciting wins of 2022. Instead, David Robertson blew that ninth-inning lead and the Cubs lost Monday in extra innings.
Tuesday, Suzuki hit his second home run in as many days since returning from the injured list. That two-run blast broke a 2-2 tie and...

Looking for Tuesday’s game threads? This is the place.
When a player reaches 10 full years of service time in Major League Baseball, it’s an accomplishment worth celebrating. Most players don’t last that long, so when a player who isn’t exactly a star reaches that milestone, it’s kind of a big deal that calls for a celebration.

A weekly check-in on these Cubs favorites.
Without further ado, here’s what’s been going on with some of your Cubs favorites over the past week.
Javier BáezAfter slowly improving through most of June, Javy had a bad week: .179/.172/.250 (5-for-28) with 10 strikeouts. You’ll note the OBP is lower than the BA — that’s what happens when you have a sacrifice fly but no walks.
Báez is having his worst year (except for...

There’s a fair amount of good over the last week... and some, not so much.
I’m going to start out this edition of “Three up, three down” a bit differently.
The Cubs are 16 games under .500 at 32-48. There’s one game remaining — tonight at Milwaukee — before the team hits the halfway point of the 2022 season. If the Cubs win tonight, that’d be 33 wins in half a season, on pace for a 66-96 season.
I’m here to tell you that I don’t...
