Series Preview: Cincinnati Reds (21-29) at Chicago Cubs (22-27)

In Series Previews by berseliusMay 26, 2023119 Comments

One reason that I like to write these is that it reminds me on a weeklyish basis what the Cubs record is (dying laughing). The Cubs still aren’t Five Backā„¢ yet but there’s a lil cluster with the Reds and Cardinals for the division basement, which is not fun. Hopefully things get right in this series. The Reds offense has …

Series Preview: St. Louis Tire Fire (11-24) at Chicago Cubs (17-17)

I don’t even know what else there is to say about the dumpster fire in Cardinals-land. Will Oliver Marmol have a job by the end of the month? By the end of this series? The ‘play the game the right way’ nonsense with Tyler O’Neill was bad enough vibes, but then seeing the same pattern continue with this bananas Contreras …

Series Preview Take 2: Miami Marlins (16-16) vs Chicago Cubs (15-16)

In Series Previews by berseliusMay 4, 2023147 Comments

Well, that was a road trip to forget. Going 1-6 with five one-run losses is not what you want. Still, I’m gonna be the boring guy and say I’m still not too needle-movey on my opinion of the team. Sometimes you flip a coin and it comes up tails a bunch of times in a row. Yes, the team is …

Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (14-10) at Miami Marlins (13-13)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 28, 2023208 Comments

The Cubs took care of business against a good Padres team, and embark on a fish-sandwich run of series with Marlins-Nationals-Marlins. Though I guess it’s only a fish sandwich if the fish is in the middle? I guess this is a Long John Silver’s style Double Down. The Marlins win projections are about in line with the Cubs at this …

Series Preview: San Diego Padres (12-12) at Chicago Cubs (12-9)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 24, 2023104 Comments

Lots of electrons have been spilled in the past week or so about the Cubs hot start, and subsequent disappointment with losing the four game set with the Dodgers. I’m not really sweating it that much. For one, if you told me that the Cubs would go 3-4 vs the Dodgers, with most games being competitive, I would have been …

Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (8-6) at Oakland Athletics (3-13)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 16, 202375 Comments

I’m too lazy to write a postgame and a new preview so just riff on the Dodgers series some more here before getting to the new series (dying laughing). The last time the Cubs won a regular season series in LA was 2014. Edwin Jackson picked up the win. I saw a lot of sweeps as I worked my way …

Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (6-5) at Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles (7-6)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 13, 202346 Comments

Ah, the ol dreaded west coast road trip. At least we’re getting it out of the way early this year. The worst part about playing at Dodger Stadium is their super annoying soundboard…the best part is that the games run late enough in central time that you don’t get too much of it. Though I guess that with the shorter …

Series Preview: Seattle Mariners (4-6) at Chicago Cubs (4-4)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 9, 202354 Comments

The Cubs tour of the AL West continues with a series against the Mariners. By the vagaries of scheduling, the Seattle has already played two series against Cleveland?? They went 3-4, and also dropped a series against the Halos. Fangraphs projects a 82-80 record, which puts them in roughly the same tier as the Rangers team that the Cubs just …

Series Preview: Texas Rangers (4-2) at Chicago Cubs (2-3)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 6, 202396 Comments

The Rangers are one of many good to great teams that the Cubs will face in the month of April. At least from a wins and losses perspective, they will miss deGrom in this series. Though as a more general baseball fan I am a bit bummed by this prospect. The Rangers kicked off the season by sweeping the defending …

Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (1-2) at Cincinnati Reds (2-1)

In Series Previews by berseliusApril 2, 2023127 Comments

Will the Cubs sniff .500 again this year? Playing the relatively lowly Reds should certainly help. The Reds won their opening series against the Pirates, so even aside from SSS take that initial record with a large grain of salt. The Reds were not projected to be very good this year (3rd worst 69-93) projection, and they are certainly spending …
