The #1 source for #Cubs, #MLB, and #MiLB news and notes. Colin Rea, Michael Busch, and Matt Shaw star for the Cubs.

As the Chicago Cubs continue to battle with the Milwaukee Brewers in a key series, the team has started to show some signs of life.  It has been a disappointing

Despite a series win over MLB's top team, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell continues to be questioned for his puzzling lineup decisions on Thursday.

Despite some noticable offensive woes, Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw sees some positive in the midst of the negative.

The Cubs went into the All-Star break tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most runs scored in MLB at 508. Considering Shaw leads the team in home runs and RBI since the break, a strong offense could have turned into a juggernaut.

The Cubs’ offense had been quiet against Cardinals starter Sonny Gray until Shaw’s tying two-run homer in the fifth inning. It was his third homer in his last four games and his seventh since the All-Star break. He entered play Sunday hitting .333 with a 1.110 OPS during that span.

Shaw has a 207 wRC+ since the All-Star break. Only three players with at least 50 plate appearances had a better wRC.

Michael Busch hit a three-run home run, Matt Shaw added a solo shot and an RBI triple and the Chicago Cubs routed the St. Louis Cardinals 9-1 on Saturday.

Justin Turner once again showed why he can't be replaced on the Chicago Cubs' roster after a key moment with Matt Shaw.
