The Chicago Cubs put together a statement win in the desert, shutting out the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 behind an absolutely dominant start from Kevin Gausman. Gausman delivered seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out six.

The Cubs offense gave him plenty of support, with Michael Conforto continuing his recent surge by collecting three hits, including a huge two-run homer. Ian Happ also came through with two hits and an RBI, continuing his hot stretch over the last two weeks.

After a frustrating stretch, the Cubs have now responded with back-to-back dominant victories and 26 unanswered runs over their last two games. Can Gausman's performance be the start of a major turnaround for the rotation as Chicago makes its push down the stretch?

The Chicago Cubs finally got back in the win column yesterday, with Ian Happ's grand slam and Pete Crow Armstrong's 2-run homer leading the way in a much-needed victory. But while the Cubs were able to finish the weekend on a high note, their overall play over the last few days was anything but encouraging.

Friday was especially frustrating, with the Cubs going just 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position as the offense repeatedly failed to come through in big moments. There are also growing concerns about Ryan Zeferjahn and whether the Cubs can consistently trust him in high leverage spots out of their bullpen moving forward.

Then came Saturday, when Jacob Webb had a chance to close things out in the 9th inning but instead watched the game slip away. His first runs allowed since the end of June came at the wrong time.

Ian Happ and PCA helped provide a much-needed spark yesterday, but can the Cubs actually build some momentum from here and regain some ground before Milwaukee comes to Wrigley Field next week?

We break down the win, the offensive struggles, the bullpen concerns, and everything that went wrong over the weekend for the Cubs.

The Chicago Cubs couldn’t complete the sweep, dropping the series finale to the White Sox 3-0 at Wrigley Field. Jose Urquidy dominated out of the White Sox bullpen, while the Cubs struggled to generate offense in the loss despite back-to-back great starts by Clay Holmes.

But the bigger story is the latest injury news surrounding the Cubs. Craig Counsell provided updates on Daniel Palencia, Justin Steele and Ben Brown as the Cubs navigate a critical stretch of the season with their pitching staff dealing with multiple injuries. We break down what Counsell had to say, where each pitcher stands and what these updates could mean for the Cubs moving forward.

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.

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.

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 be
• Edward Cabrera’s disastrous outing and what comes next
• Why the Cubs couldn’t close out the Cardinals
• What this series loss means for the NL Central race
• Where the Cubs go from here

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?

Alex Bregman just made history!

Bregman launched three home runs in a game for the first time in his career, powering the Chicago Cubs to a dominant blowout victory over the Washington Nationals to win their 9th consecutive series on the road.

From his first blast to his third, Bregman was locked in all night as the Cubs’ offense exploded and put the game out of reach. Dansby Swanson also added his 18th homer of the season to help ignite the Cubs offense along the way. Seiya Suzuki and Pedro Ramirez added two hits. Pete Crow-Armstrong got the Cubs on the board with a rbi-double against Chicago area native Jackson Kent. The Cubs lineup has now scored double digit runs in back-to-back days and go for the sweep this afternoon.

In this episode, Dan, Matt, and Cody discuss Bregman's resurgence and where their division chances sit after Milwaukee lost again last night.
