Not to beat a dead 🐎, but it’s been MY experience that when the Cubs face a starter in which THEY have a better hitting record than the opposing team’s hitters have against the Cubs starters, they NEVER do well!

Two players in the Rockies lineup are combine 0-8 against S***a, and the rest have never faced him.

Five players in the Cubs lineup are hitting at a combined clip of .242ish against Lorenzen.

Let’s see how this plays out tonight!

What the hell are you focusing on in the meantime?

Cubs rank 28th in the league in hitting with RISP

AND FIRST IN HR ALLOWED.

Cabrera gave up 3 today!

Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer called the trade deadline "the furthest thing from my mind," while also acknowledging the organization's needs if the Cubs are in the race at that time.

I’ll give credit where credit is due!

CUBS WIN! 🐻⚾️

The Chicago Cubs snapped their 10-game skid in a massive way yesterday, crushing the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-4 at PNC Park! 💥

Hometown hero Ian Happ put on an absolute clinic in Pittsburgh, continuing his incredible streak of reaching base in 40 consecutive games there.

Happ kicked off the scoring with a 2-run single in the first, but his biggest moment came in the 7th inning. With the game locked in a 4-4 tie, he launched a thrilling, tiebreaking 3-run home run to right field, finishing the night with 2 hits and an unbelievable 5 RBIs! 🚀🔥

Dansby Swanson was equally vital in setting up the offensive explosion. Swanson set the table beautifully by going 2-for-4 with a walk and cross-cutting the basepaths to score 2 crucial runs, keeping the pressure on the Pirates all night long.

What a way to bring out the bats and fly the W! 🟦⬜️🔴

Jameson Taillon still chasing that MLB record no one wants.

He’s a trooper.

Way to go buddy!

⚾️ Baseball history is getting absolutely wild this year! 🤯

The 2026 Chicago Cubs just hit a 10-game losing streak, and everyone is comparing it to the 2017 Dodgers' famous 11-game skid. But there is one MASSIVE difference between the two: TIMING.

📅 The 2026 Cubs (The May Rollercoaster)
The Cubs are giving us ultimate baseball whiplash. They managed to rack up TWO separate 10-game winning streaks AND a 10-game losing streak all before June 1st. No team in modern history has ever been this volatile this early in the season. They are fighting to stay above .500 (29-26) with an injury-depleted rotation.

📅 The 2017 Dodgers (The September Slump)
Los Angeles looked completely unstoppable all summer, then suddenly hit a brick wall right before the playoffs in September. It was a bizarre late-season blip for a powerhouse team that still cruised to 104 wins and a World Series appearance.

The Breakdown:

🔹 Cubs: 10-game skid in May | Volatile early start | Digging out of an injury hole
🔹 Dodgers: 11-game skid in September | Late-season aberration | Dominated the rest of the year

Are the Cubs just hitting a temporary bump in the road like the '17 Dodgers did, or is the rollercoaster about to derail?
