2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 15 Share this story Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports The fun that was Saturday afternoon faded awfully quickly into the disaster that was Sunday night’s game. This one looked a lot like many other games so far this year for the Cubs. That is, the pitching staff was victimized by the big inning (twice, actually) and the offense wasn’t particularly potent. Things have gotten bad quickly for this Cubs team. On Sunday, Kyle Hendricks got caught up in the bad. He’s been a slow starter frequently in his career and so I’m not super worried, though Sunday n...

2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 14 Share this story Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Saturday’s game was something that’s been coming for some time. Is it a dead cat bounce? We can’t know at this time. But even the worst teams sometimes beat up on the best teams. Baseball will give you those games for some time. Will the Braves right their ship and be a contender?

It took exactly one game for Phillies fans to get that all-too-familiar sinking feeling in the pits of their stomachs again. Facing the Braves on Opening Day, Philadelphia held a 2–0 lead in the seventh inning behind a strong outing from ace Aaron Nola. That lead was erased on a two-run homer by Pablo Sandoval, which caused Nola to give way to a revamped Phillies bullpen that was the team’s undoing last season. Now tasked with pitching ...

2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 10 Share this story Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images I have by no means seen an exhaustive amount of Adbert Alzolay pitching. But for five innings Monday night, he looked the best that I’ve seen him look. He was pretty dominant. It was easy to see the pitcher he can be. Even when things went sideways in the sixth, there was a single through the shift and a lengthy at bat that ended in a walk. He certainly deserved better Monday night. But hopefully, Alzolay found some things he could learn and grow from in this game and he continues to get better. He is ce...
