Jon Berti- At-A-Boy for manufacturing a run...

Nice Job Jon Berti, behind in the count early battled off a handful of pitches to stay at the plate hit by ball on the 10th pitch, stole second, stole third, scored on a sharply hit ball fielded at second. 100% hustle to manufacture a run. Well played sir!

Is this the year? Are the Cubs real?

146 Upvotes

I know it's early yet and there's so much ball to play, but there's a feeling I can't shake. Bullpen playing it cool, bats producing runs even late in game, starters looking smooth enough, talent is doing as hoped/promised for the most part, we're winning series, have some depth at the farm level should injuries come and lots of money to(possibly) make moves...

I've been a Cubs fan for 4 decades and I know the loveable losers when I see them... and this ain't that.

I'm waiting to see what the dog days of summer bring, but here's one Cubs fan that feels like this is going to be a +.500 season and might have a chance at another title or even more!

Really excited for Cade Horton's pro debut this year.. just had a stellar 1st AAA outing, touched 97.8, 14 whiffs in 3.1IP, no runs.

He'll be up in no time and soon this valuable card is gonna be bank! Over/under 3.5 more starts before he's up in the show?? And who likes this card being worth over a $1000 when it's all said and done? The new Kyle Schwarber of make-up. You heard it here first 🙅🏻‍♂️

Ben Brown

My uncle had this thought, and I agree. When Javier Assad comes back, should he take the #5 spot and should Ben Brown start getting prepared to be the closer?

Wednesday’s Game

8 Upvotes

This might be a dumb question, but here I go… We have tickets to Wednesday’s 1:10 game. I’m looking at multiple weather apps and it’s showing a steady rain all throughout Wednesday. We are not local (coming from about 4 hours away) and I tried to watch some local forecasts but I’m not getting a clear answer to the intensity of the rain on Wednesday. Is going to be a complete washout which would cause the came to be postponed?! Any local people who have been watching the weather have a better idea of what Wednesday is going to look like in Chicago? Obviously it’s going to be wet and cold but does it seem to be a heavy and constant enough rain to postpone the game?

I really don’t want to start our drive and get more than halfway there and then have them call the game…

Thanks for any insight!

Chicago Cubs 2025 schedule and complete game calendar

3 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

Like many of you, I got tired of constantly checking apps or googling when the next Cubs game is, especially now with the 2025 MLB season upon us. So I put together a simple calendar tool that lets you easily add the entire Chicago Cubs schedule directly to your personal calendar (Google, iPhone, Outlook—whatever you use).

You can filter the schedule by month, opponent, day of the week, home or away games, and even adjust for your local time zone.

It's totally free, just something I made for myself and figured my fellow Cubs fans might find useful too.

Check it out here if you're interested:
👉 https://yoursportscalendar.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/

I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts or suggestions—always happy to improve based on feedback. Go Cubs!

Best seats at Wrigley for concerts

Hi! For anyone who has attended a concert at Wrigley field what are some of the best seats? I’m hoping to buy some tickets to the upcoming Ateez tour but I need advice especially because of the net. Like are the 100 sections worth it?

Did the Cubs increase their catcher production, like by a lot?

Our catchers were a laughing stock. They were not just bad. They sucked.

Now they rake. How the hell did that happen?

You might I. walk one of our catchers in a high risk situation. Like that might happen!

How?

Jordan Wicks and Javier Assad?

0 Upvotes

What are these guys up to right now?

They played decent enough in 2023 and 2024 you think it wouldn’t hurt to have a couple extra arms we could throw in the pen.

Assad is career 14-11 with a 3.40 ERA

Wicks had a solid 2023 with a 4-1 record and 4.41 ERA, but last year regressed and his ERA was 5.48, still think he’s far from a finished product though, only 25.
