4 SEP 2026 · The Cubs and Brewers split a 4-game series this week at Wrigley. Cubs played well, but the bullpen wasn't good. We may have just seen the bullpen's worst 2 weeks of the entire season. Cubs have been in position to win almost every game the last couple weeks, yet the bullpen has blown game after game. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman have led a resurgent offense that's been really fun to watch. PCA just earned his second NL Player of the Month award this season. Where's Javier Assad?! Here's to hoping his recent trip to Iowa is almost over. He may be the Cubs best pitching story of the year (sustained over the course of the season), yet he's at Triple-A while the major league bullpen continues to implode. Webb has had a couple uncharacteristic bad appearances. Zeferjahn hasn't looked as sharp as hoped. Palencia has looked bad since returning to injury (although he often doesn't look in non-save situations). Hopefully the pending additions of Cabrera, Steele, Assad will help solidify things.

1 AUG 2026 · The Major League Baseball trade deadline is about 48 hours away. The Cubs should be adding to their roster to help ensure a nice run in October. Here are the needs they need to address (in order): late reliever, a second late reliever or starter, another bat off the bench. The problem is there are so many teams still in contention for a postseason berth. Could also see the front office not making any moves claiming the price is too high for notable additions. Honorable mention: Alex Bregman is (finally) starting to come to life in the Cubs lineup, Pedro Ramirez may be the biggest surprise of all, and so many injured Cubs close to returning. Lots of Cubs storylines in the coming days, for sure. Share your thoughts, on X: https://www.x.com/bricksbleachers.

3 JUL 2026 · June for the Chicago Cubs: In like a lamb, out like a lion. The Cubs are offense was anemic as the month of June began, but a resurgent offense has the Cubs starting July as the hottest team since June 11. Winners of 15 of 19, Cubs hope to keep the momentum going this weekend against division rival St. Louis. Cards took 2 of 3 against the Cubs in late May. PCA has been the NL Player of the Month for June. Dansby Swanson has been ridiculous the last couple weeks, including 5 homers in the last 2 games.

18 SEP 2025 · 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.
