Chicago Cubs 2026

[Gary J]

Busch good for 20-25 home runs every year and approaching gold glove defense. I’ll take that for the next 7 years.

 

[Illiniaaron]

Lose another afternoon game three in a series with a chance to sweep.

Great performance on the hill tonight by Peterson tonight against Atlanta. I also continue to be impressed by Bregman's defense. Made some incredibly complex plays look simple tonight.

Hope the bullpen can hold the 7-1 lead.

PCA has 9 games left to get 3 more steals .

you can guess he’ll be moving when on base when no one is ahead of him

11 games unless you have inside info he's sitting for 2 of them.

Webb specializes in the 2 run homer.

Webb again...2 run Homer in the 7th...can we quit pitching this guy

 

[Jimbo]

You just can’t pitch Webb unless it’s a blowout at this point. There can be no trusting him.

I'm not sure why Counsell keeps going to this guy. Very few singular players costs you a baseball game, but he is directly responsible for 4 losses in the last 3 weeks. 5 if today holds true.

Yet, we keep seeing him.

8 outings since Aug 22. 6.1 innings 11 ER 4 HR. Shows how desperate the Cubs are in the bullpen to keep pitching him. 16.2 ERA?

Well, Cabrera continues to be useless. Zefferjahn is useless. Webb is useless. Thielbar is useless. That doesn't leave much.

I'm not sure if Palencia can be taken out of the "useless" category but WHY did Counsell take him out after facing one batter in the 6th ? And to make matters worse...to bring in Webb?
