We’ll see how this trend develops, but last night was the 2nd game in a row where the Cubs battled back from a significant deficit late in a game. They ultimately lost the finale in Colorado, but the fight being shown now is worth noting as the Cubs head into the home stretch.

A reminder that Ian Happ has been a better than league-average hitter for the entirety of the 9 seasons he’s played in the big leagues.

It would be awesome if people could just admit that Ian Happ is a good baseball player

Jay Higgins is what it’s all about - fight and claw every play, give effort every day to try to lift yourself up.

Jay Higgins was rated as the 1646 best player in his high school class, Iowa was his only Power-4 offer. He became a Unanimous All-American in 2024, went undrafted and still made the Ravens opening day roster. Iowa football once again finds a diamond in the rough.

So…..only Vidal Brujan can keep Kyle Schwarber in the yard tonight? 😂 😂 😂 Nope, as much as I want to, I can’t go there.

Iowa had 8 players land on practice teams and Nick Niemann signs with the Packers active roster. I wouldn't be surprised if Carl Davis lands somewhere, too. Headlines Yahya Black nytimes.com/athletic/65730… Kristian Welch nytimes.com/athletic/65774… Jay Higgins nytimes.com/athletic/65775…

Cubs haven’t had a ton of “you need to promote me because I’m embarrassing these children” promotions in the Minors this year, but Kane Kepley has passed the threshold. Surely he’ll be promoted to South Bend tomorrow after hitting .387/.548/.532 in 17 games with Myrtle. Menace.

Every season is different and the ebbs and flows of a season matter, but if I went back to February you and said that after games on Aug. 22, the Cubs would have the 4th best record in baseball and would lead half the divisions in baseball, what would your reaction be?

All of Cubdom needed this and we all felt this deep in our souls. Not much better than watching PCA make magic happen!

After the trade deadline, one of the better-performing rotations in MLB added Jameson Taillon and Javier Assad.

Prime Javier Assad, an actual homer from Tucker, a clutch bomb from PCA and a dominant 9th from Palencia. I get the angst throughout, but there was a lot here to like in the end. #FlyTheW #SingTheSong #CubsWin

So….yet again, a major piece for this team was literally playing through a fracture. At some point, Jed needs to build a bench he can trust so a guy can go heal for 2 weeks and not sacrifice 2 months of production. Bellinger, Seiya, Dansby, Nico, Tucker all fit impacted.

I asked ChatGPT for a take on my podcast. It delivered: Mike doesn’t yell. He doesn’t sing. He doesn’t roast players. He calmly explains why the team’s refusal to extend Nico Hoerner six months earlier was “suboptimal cap allocation.” It’s like a TED Talk had a baby with the…

It’s a terrible look. Cubs acknowledging they broke Kyle Tucker when he had to compensate for an injured finger. So many times the last couple years they’ve let players push thru minor injury to the detriment of months of play. The boos are a bad look, but this is the root cause.

Lots of good choices here, but his performance today reminded me that I think Caleb Thielbar was the Cubs most underrated offseason pickup. Brad Keller (minor league camp invite) and Colin Rea also in the discussion.
