    Alex Bregman and PCA lead Chicago Cubs consecutive walk off WINS over White Sox

    Alex Bregman came through when the Cubs needed him most twice last night! For the second straight game, the Cubs walk off the White Sox, this time behind Bregman's clutch hits to help providing both the game-tying and game-winning knocks in another wild finish at Wrigley. We break down Bregman’s heroics and what his presence has meant for the Cubs lineup. We’re also talking about Pete Crow-Armstrong, who continues to make his case as one of the most exciting young stars in baseball after launching another lead off home run in this series. We take a look at his numbers, his impact, and what it would take for him to make a legitimate run at the award. And don’t overlook Javier Assad, who has quietly been one of the most valuable pieces on this Cubs team all season. We discuss just how important Assad has been, the ways he continues to contribute, and why his value to the Cubs goes beyond the box score. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    PCA walks off the White Sox in biggest MVP moment of season for Chicago Cubs!

    What a night at Wrigley! The Chicago Cubs delivered a dramatic comeback and an electric finish, capped by Pete Crow-Armstrong's walk-off hit against the White Sox. The atmosphere was absolutely INSANE as the Cubs battled back late. Nico Hoerner came through with a clutch game-tying hit in the bottom of the 9th, setting the stage for PCA to play the hero. Jacob Webb then slammed the door with a shutdown top of the 10th, giving the Cubs the perfect opportunity to finish the game. And none of it would have been possible without another strong outing from Shota Imanaga, who kept the Cubs in the game and gave the offense a chance to rally. From Imanaga's performance to Hoerner's ninth-inning heroics, Webb's dominant 10th, and PCA's walk-off and full performance — this was a night Cubs fans won't forget. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    How bad is Dansby Swanson's injury, Edward Cabrera's TERRIBLE outing, and Chicago Cubs disappointing weekend against the Cardinals

    The Cubs’ weekend against the Cardinals went from promising to disastrous in a hurry. Chicago dropped two straight games to St. Louis after winning Friday’s opener, but the biggest concern coming out of the weekend is Dansby Swanson. The Cubs’ shortstop left Sunday’s game after an awkward swing and is headed to the injured list with a left oblique injury. An MRI is expected to provide more clarity on the severity and timeline, but losing Swanson at this point of the season could be a massive blow for a deep playoff run for the Cubs. Then there was Edward Cabrera’s nightmare return to the rotation. Cabrera gave up 7 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in just 3.2 innings, as the Cardinals erupted for six runs in the fourth inning. To make matters worse, Cabrera revealed afterward that a blister was affecting him during the outing. The Cardinals ultimately cruised to an 11-4 victory, taking the weekend series 2-1 and leaving the Cubs with plenty of questions heading into a crucial stretch of the season. In this episode, we break down: How serious Dansby Swanson’s injury could beEdward Cabrera’s disastrous outing and what comes nextWhy the Cubs couldn’t close out the CardinalsWhat this series loss means for the NL Central raceWhere the Cubs go from here 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Chicago Cubs head back to Wrigley Field with another winning road trip | Deep dive on Michael Busch

    The Chicago Cubs laid an egg yesterday, but they’re still heading home with a winning road trip. Cade Cavalli was outstanding for the Washington Nationals, shutting down the Cubs’ offense and making sure Chicago never really got anything going. It was a frustrating way to finish the trip, but the bigger picture remains positive: the Cubs return home having won the road trip and with plenty to build on with the Cardinals coming to Wrigley Field this weekend. We’ll break down what went wrong against Cavalli, what the Cubs need to clean up, and why there’s still plenty to like about this team coming home. Then, we’re taking a deep dive into Michael Busch’s season so far. What has stood out about his performance? Where has he improved, where does he still need to get better, and what could the rest of the season look like for Busch? 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Why PCA is the front runner for NL MVP for the Chicago Cubs

    Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani are making the NL MVP race VERY interesting. PCA has emerged as the biggest threats to Shohei Ohtani’s MVP reign — and there’s a legitimate argument that he should be the front-runner right now. The Cubs star is doing it ALL: elite offense, game-changing speed, Gold Glove-level defense, and the kind of overall impact that shows up in the advanced metrics. He’s currently sitting at the top of the league in WAR while putting together an offensive season that nobody saw coming after his struggles in the second half of 2025. And then there’s the defense. PCA isn’t just a great hitter playing center field — he’s the best defensive center fielder in baseball, making plays that most players simply can’t get to. In this episode, Dan, Cody, and Matt break down PCA’s MVP case, his numbers, his defense, the Ohtani comparison, and what needs to happen over the final stretch of the season for him to take home the award. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Ian Happ BREAKS OUT of slump in Chicago Cubs series victory over Royals | Matthew Boyd's resurgence & Kevin Gausman's Cubs debut

    Ian Happ is FINALLY heating up for the Chicago Cubs After struggling at the plate since early June, Happ broke out against the Royals this weekend, collecting three hits and launching his 20th home run of the season in Sunday’s 10-2 win. Is this the start of another Happ hot streak? Plus, Matthew Boyd continues to look like a completely different pitcher since returning from his knee injury. After missing seven weeks, Boyd has provided the Cubs with consistent, high-quality starts — including seven strong innings against Kansas City on Sunday to secure the series victory. And then there’s Kevin Gausman. In his first start as a Cub, Gausman delivered exactly what Chicago hoped for, throwing seven innings and allowing just two runs in a 6-4 win over the Royals. We break down Happ’s potential breakout, Boyd’s impressive comeback, and what Gausman’s debut could mean for the Cubs’ rotation as Chicago makes its push toward October. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
