Chicago Cubs Are Back In The Postseason

Bricks and Bleachers Podcast ·

2025/09/18

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

Cubs Collapse Is Epic, But Hope Remains

Bricks and Bleachers Podcast ·

2025/08/17

It's been a tough stretch for the Chicago Cubs. 2 months of .500 ball. A 15-game swing with Milwaukee over the last 2 months. But, there is hope. If the Cubs can take 4 of 5 from the Brewers this week at Wrigley Field, perhaps there's a reasonable shot at the division. If not, it's all about the wild card. Rotation reinforcements are back. Jameson Taillon should return for the Brewers series. Javier Assad returned this week and is on the bump today. Brewers have been on a ridiculous tear, but no one

It's early June and the Chicago Cubs sit atop the NL Central. Cubs are currently grinding through a tough road trip and are holding their own.

Bricks and Bleachers Podcast ·

2025/05/13

Coming into this season, I was most excited to see 2 Cubs prospects. Looks like they both get the call within a matter of days of each other. Cade Horton debuted over the weekend, Moises Ballesteros to be called up today. But, what's the corresponding roster move? No team needs 3 catchers, but the Cubs catching corps this year is unmatched. 3 things to watch: Ballesteros call-up, what's happening at third base and who exactly is Ryan Pressly?

Spring Training Time for the Chicago Cubs

Bricks and Bleachers Podcast ·

2025/02/09

After a long wait, it's time for the 2025 Chicago Cubs to hit the field! Pitcher and catchers are reporting today to the Cubs complex in Arizona. It's been a busy offseason for the Cubs front office. Cubs enter camp with way more bullpen arms than can be kept on the roster. Will talk about that and the starting rotation. Will the Cubs add anyone still (Bregman and Cease come to mind)? Only one is probably remotely close to happening. Pecota projections are already pretty favorable for the Cubs.

Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs!

Bricks and Bleachers Podcast ·

2024/12/14

The Chicago Cubs pull off a big trade with the Astros. Kyle Tucker is now a Chicago Cub. Even though he has yet to play for the Cubs, I'm saying he's the best player on a Cubs roster in many years. A really solid all-around player. Under contract for just one year. Team's willingness to re-sign him will shape the club's future for several years. Also, other Cubs roster moves you may or may not have seen this offseason. A few moves worth mentioning from elsewhere in MLB. Plus, what's ahead for the

It's been a good week for the Chicago Cubs. The offense exploded on Wednesday, helping secure a 14-10 comeback win in Pittsburgh.
