Well, uh, yeah … that sucked. The Chicago Cubs blew yet another game today, one we really could have used, if not for the standings (… it’s April), then at least for our sanity.
Nominally, they blew it when Caleb Thielbar threw an errant throw to first base in the top of the 11th inning, which allowed the go-ahead/game-winning run to score. But actually, they lost this one at the plate throughout the game (and especially in extras), with missed opportunity after missed opportunity. It was genuinely absurd and extremely frustrating.
I mean, the mortal sin was not driving in even a SINGLE run with runners on second and third and no outs in the bottom of the 11th inning (Matt Shaw flew out to shallow right, Alex Bregman and Seiya Suzuki popped out on the infield). But there were missed chances throughout the game, which is just … well, it’s a theme so far this season.

This could have been his first “signature” moment as a Cub …

— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 11, 2026… especially so, I thought, when he had a chance to put the game away in the 11th.
Not that it’s his fault.
On the one hand, the Cubs had a fairly beefy nine hits and seven walks tonight, but none of their hits went for extra bases AND they went 1-15 with runners in scoring position, with 16(!) batters left on base. That’s horrid utimeliness. And the lack of power is equally frustrating. Braxton Ashcraft is having a really nice start to the year, but come ON.
And, yes, sure, it’s a good sign to get that many guys on, but at some point, you DO have to come through. Otherwise, well, this.
So now, at best, the Cubs will take 1 of 3 against the Pirates … at Wrigley … without facing Paul Skenes. And that in a series when their Game 1 starter, Shota Imanaga, threw 6 no-hit innings. You just can’t let that happen. They will, but you can’t.
I still think this team has WAY too much talent to actually keep playing this badly. But, yes, right now, or so far, it has been bad.
Fortunately, it’s only April 11. So if you’re looking for me to freak out and call the season now, I won’t. And if you do, I’m just going to assume you don’t watch many 162-game seasons. Bottom line, things can be bad AND there can be time + talent on their side. And that’s where I think we are.
And for what it’s worth, that’s what Craig Counsell thinks, too. Not that he’d say anything else.

— Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) April 11, 2026But what a crappy Friday and Saturday, man. Brutal. The Chicago Cubs are now two games under .500, and have not seen the sunshine (over .500) yet this season.
