• Cubs 4, Astros 3: Getting the job done

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Dansby Swanson’s three-run homer highlighted a four-run first inning that the Cubs made hold up for another win. It wasn’t the best of games. Cubs hitters struck out 12 times. Some sketchy defense helped lead to a Houston run. The Cubs had only one hit after the fourth inning. And yet, the Cubs put a large crooked number on the board in the first inning f...2024

Peter van den Berg-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs win the game, the series, and the road trip with 5-3 victory. I like to start with a disclaimer. You are welcome to your own fandom and to experiencing it however you like. It is not my intent to tell you how you should think. How am I feeling about this team through 18 games? This team has gotten one abbreviated start from its best starter, Jus...2024

• Cubs roster moves: Hayden Wesneski, Colten Brewer recalled; Luke Little, Daniel Palencia optioned

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images The Cubs needed bullpen reinforcements after two extra-inning games. The Cubs bullpen was pretty gassed after the two long extra-inning games the last two days, as well as some tight contests in Seattle. Thus, they made the following roster moves today: The Cubs today selected right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer and recalled right-handed pitcher Hayden Wes...2024

Even before the Cubs pulled off this win, just seeing this team playing really good baseball yet again. It’s really been fun to watch.

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 13

Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Too many walks allowed, too few hits doom Cubs in Seattle. Two weeks do not make a baseball season by any means. However, I chuckle every time I hear someone say that the Cubs didn’t really do anything in the offseason. Certainly, running it back with a team that didn’t reach the playoffs and hoping that internal growth seems like a silly plan. That said, ...2024

• The Cubs bullpen is not okay

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images It’s going to be hard to win games if the bullpen can’t protect an eight-run lead Javier Assad deserved better. The Cubs’ current fourth starter, who wasn’t even supposed to be the fifth starter, threw an absolute gem against the San Diego Padres yesterday. In 5+ innings pitched, Assad struck out seven, giving up only three hits while also walking three...2024

• Cubs 9, Rockies 8: Sweep!

Photo by Griffin Quinn/Getty Images The Cubs fought off the weather and a Rockies rally to complete the three-game sweep. The weather outside was frightful.

"Luke Little, who had finished off Tuesday’s win, got the call as the opener for this one and dispatched the Rockies 1-2-3 on only 14 pitches."

"And then it was Luke Little time."

2022
"But the real damage came in the fourth inning, when Franklin gave up four singles (two of them infield singles and another one softly hit through the infield) and was pulled for Luke Little."

2020
"The Cubs announced Thursday that they’ve signed three of their five picks from the 2020 amateur draft: left-hander Burl Carraway (second-round), left-hander Luke Little (fourth) and right-hander Koen Moreno (fifth)."
