2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 47 Share this story Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Tuesday night, the Cubs checked some not previously checked boxes. They came from behind after being down three runs. Their previous largest comeback had been two. Three is hardly climbing Mt. Everest, but it was a bigger hole. I’ve always thought that comebacks are something that can give a team a little extra confidence that they might be able to cash in at a later date. The Cubs also reached three games over the .500 mark for the first time. Again, that’s hardly a huge milestone, but I’m pretty sur...

Petit has a grande win total

2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 41 Share this story Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images This Cubs team has been streaky. Right now, they are on a good streak. With Tuesday night’s win, their second straight against the Nationals, the Cubs have now won three straight and four of five overall. The one loss was an extra inning game that they led in several times that just trickled away. Before this stretch, they’d lost three straight.

It was by WPA, the third best game of the season. Some of you might recall that 10 days ago, he put up the highest WPA of the season. This from a gu...

2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 36 Share this story Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports After two games in Cleveland, I’m not sure their team can hit much. But I sure wouldn’t sleep on their pitching staff. I suppose I say that with a grain of salt. At best, the Cubs offense is streaky. But, I didn’t really look at the last two days and say that the offense was MIA. They did hit in these games. There were a ton of baserunners throughout both games. The Cubs just couldn’t cash them in. I’m inclined to tip my hat more than a little bit to the Cleveland pitchers for always coming up with ...
