    Pete Crow-Armstrong Powers Cubs: Milestone Homer, Game-Winning Hit

    The Chicago Cubs snapped their eight-game home losing streak in dramatic fashion, as Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to secure a 7–6 win over the Athletics. It marked the first walk-off hit of PCA’s career, capping a big day that also included his 50th career home run. The moment served as redemption after he lost a ball in the lights earlier, allowing two A’s runs to score. Shota Imanaga went six innings, giving up six runs in a no-decision. The Cubs now turn the page as they open a weekend series at Wrigley Field today against the San Francisco Giants. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows and Doors at the Best Price.

    Losing Interest: Chicago Cubs Drop 8 Straight at Wrigley

    Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down another frustrating night at Wrigley Field as the Cubs fall 5–4 in 10 innings to the A’s, extending their home losing streak to eight games. Colin Rea, who went five plus innings and allowed just two earned runs, and the bullpen let a 4–2 lead slip away—highlighted by Caleb Thielbar surrendering the game-tying run before the A's sealed it in extras. The guys also dive into the Cubs’ continued offensive struggles, including a missed golden opportunity in the 10th with a runner on third and one out, a total of six runners left on base, and a rough 2-for-11 performance with runners in scoring position. To wrap it up, they preview game three at Wrigley, with Shota Imanaga set to take the mound against Oakland’s JT Ginn. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows and Doors at the Best Price.

    Chicago Cubs Bats Go Cold Again Waste Taillon’s Strong Outing in 2–1 Loss to A’s

    Jameson Taillon turned in a solid outing last night at Wrigley Field, but the Cubs’ offense once again fell flat in a 2–1 loss to the A’s. Chicago managed just one run as the bats went quiet, with Alex Bregman, Ian Happ, and Seiya Suzuki combining to go 0-for-11. The team’s struggles with runners in scoring position continue to be a major issue. Taillon did surrender a home run but limited the damage to a solo shot and allowed just two runs over six-plus innings in a strong effort. The Cubs look to BOUNCE back tonight with Colin Rea taking the mound against Jeffrey Springs. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows and Doors at the Best Price.

    The Turnaround Starts NOW: Chicago Cubs Begin Favorable Homestand

    Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the numbers as the Chicago Cubs hit the one-third mark of the season. One clear bright spot: plate discipline. Several Cubs hitters are on pace for career highs in walks, showing a more patient and selective approach at the plate. But despite that success, something isn’t adding up. The Cubs find themselves sitting in fourth place — not where many expected this team to be. So what’s gone wrong? The guys dig into the inconsistencies, missed opportunities, and areas that need to improve. Plus, a look ahead to tonight as the Cubs open a three-game series against the Athletics, with Jameson Taillon set to face Gage Jump. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Chicago Cubs drop another series | Is Alex Bregman heating up?

    Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the Chicago Cubs’ latest series loss in St. Louis, dropping two of three to the Cardinals as the team continues its recent skid. The Cubs have now lost 4 of their last 5 series and sit 5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers, while also trailing both the Cardinals and Pirates in a suddenly crowded NL Central race. Despite the struggles, there are a few bright spots. Alex Bregman is starting to find a groove at the plate, blasting his first home run since May 12 and extending his current 11-game hitting streak. Is this the spark the Cubs lineup desperately needs to turn things around? The guys also dive into a surprising playoff projection update — for the first time this season, Baseball Reference has BOTH Chicago teams (Cubs and White Sox) making the postseason. Is it realistic, or just early-June optimism? But the biggest concern? The starting rotation. Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga are on pace for the wrong kind of MLB history — giving up home runs at one of the highest rates in baseball. Taillon currently leads the league in home runs allowed, with Imanaga not far behind, and the Cubs pitching staff is trending toward one of the worst home-run-allowing seasons in recent MLB history. [chicago.suntimes.com] Can the Cubs fix their biggest flaw before it derails their playoff hopes? 🔹 Cubs vs Cardinals recap 🔹 NL Central standings & concerns 🔹 Alex Bregman’s hot streak 🔹 Playoff odds for both Chicago teams 🔹 Taillon & Imanaga’s alarming trend 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.

    Ian Happ goes deep again as the Chicago Cubs split in Pittsburgh

    Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the Cubs’ second straight win as they salvage a split in their four-game set in Pittsburgh — including a statement victory in the Paul Skenes game. Colin Rea delivered another solid outing, allowing just two earned runs over 5+ innings, while the offense gave him enough support to get the job done. Ian Happ continues to swing a hot bat, launching another home run to extend his team lead with 12 on the season. Seiya Suzuki also chipped in with a strong performance, driving in two runs on a pair of hits as the Cubs continue to find timely production up and down the lineup. The guys also dive into the struggles of Moisés Ballesteros, whose tough month of May raises questions about whether a trip to Iowa might help the young slugger reset and regain his confidence. Plus, a preview of tonight’s matchup in St. Louis as Shota Imanaga takes the mound against Andre Pallante in the latest chapter of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
