Saquon should keep the neck roll for the rest of his career. It's aesthetically pleasing.

Story of that Ravens/Cowboys game is that "ball don't lie". What a kick.

What a terrible PI call in the Ravens vs Cowboys game. Terrible.

10pm EST start for Padres vs Cubs is ridiculous.

Give me Bregman. Put him in a hockey goalie's gear. IDC.

So, that sucked last night. But it was just a delay. Join Mitch and myself on the North Side Baseball Podcast yesterday. It's the best way to get back into the saddle.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Baseball is a game of many moments. You don't lose a full baseball game 8-2 in 12 innings because of one, specific moment. But execution in those moments can go a long way to winning and Matt Shaw absolutely blew his chance. And with it, helped delay the playoff party. Read Matt's breakdown below!

Normally, I don't go in for just giving the ball to whoever's hot. But unless someone can show me a #Cubs pitcher who's genuinely and reliably better than David Peterson, I think this is one of those times when you just roll with it. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

Cubs Clinging To Playoff Spot In Stretch Run

Frustrated with the bullpen? Yeah, me too. Check out the North Side Podcast with me and Mitch and let us commiserate with you.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Go to sleep annoyed tonight. I will. Go to sleep frustrated tonight. I will. But alas, tomorrow is a new day. And I'm sure someone new will give up a two strike home run to sink the game. Thankfully, I'm busy, so I won't have to watch it.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It's been years since I get truly angry at baseball games. I get excited, but I have long since put away the extreme anger I get watching baseball games. Today? I'm frustrated too.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It's time for the Cubs to score one. I won't be greedy. Just one. Give the BP a chance to get a real save.

Panic Time For Cubs Bullpen?

With the postseason around the corner, where's the concern level with the Cubs bullpen? What reinforcements could be on the way?

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

His name is Ian Happ. Put some more respect on it.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

You can't get thrown out at third if you just hit a home run.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Put some respect on Ian Happ's name.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Ian Happ's throw-out at 3b is fine. Be aggressive the right way and force a perfect play. I hate that Hoerner steal of 3b, however. Even with two strikes it doesn't add a lot with two outs (no sac possibility) and took the chance away.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

That is the perfect first quarter for Will Stein. Offense looks fun and explosive, defense shuts down Youngstown twice. Up 14-0. #CatsBy90

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Controversial opinion but I'd be okay if the Cubs went back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Jason Ross @jross17.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Tyrone Taylor has been a sneaky good pickup. He's essentially doing what we hoped Willi Castro would do last year.

2026 is a wild year and nothing is more wild (IMO) than both advocating for the Cubs to call up Shelby Miller based on his history or him being a possible callup based on his recent TJS. But alas, here we are. But why should the Cubs call him up? northsidebaseball.com/forums/topic...

"Sweat the details". You may have just seen the home run last night. But did you see the small details of the tag at second on the proceeding steal? Follow along with Matt's breakdown of how rapport between a 2b and a C matters.

No Cubs MiLB player has raised their stock more in 2026 than Owen Ayers. With a week before September callups, the catcher is in the conversation for a roster spot. What are the pros? Cons? And should they even do it? Take a ride and explore it with me. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

Should the Cubs Call Up Catcher Owen Ayers in September?

With the calendar set to turn from August to September, the Chicago Cubs can add a fun wrinkle into the last month by calling up catcher, Owen Ayers. Will they? More importantly: should they?
