Talking Hoosier Baseball - 2026 - Week 12 Northwestern
ndiana Baseball started the week by going on the road to Louisville and claiming another midweek win to finish the season an impressive 9-2 in those contests. The Hoosiers got a fantastic 5-inning scoreless start from graduate lefty Conner Linn, and the offense put up 5 runs in the third on the way to a 10-6 victory. The Hoosiers got a special treat in being the team that got to play Northwestern in the annal game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Our own Zach and Josh Bennett were on hand for that one. The Hoosiers put on a show for the mostly IU friendly crowd. Tony Neubeck tossed six scoreless frames. The top of the Hoosier order Hogan Denny, Jake Hanley, and Owen ten Oever, combined to reach base nine times. The Hoosiers dominated the game for a 9-2 win. The series shifted to suburb of Evanston on Saturday and things did not go well for the Hoosiers. At least three critical base running mistakes kept the Hoosiers from extending an early lead. Starter Brayton Thomas was excellent through two innings, but lost command in the third inning and never returned to form. He was replaced in the fourth and Indiana would give up seven runs total. Despite a 4-for-4 day from Hogan Denny and Indiana doubling Northwestern's hit total, the Hoosiers dropped the game 7-4. In the Sunday rubber match it was the early game pitching that faltered as Conner Linn was not effective on short rest and Northwestern rocked bullpen ace Gavin Seebold in the 2nd inning. Seebold would settle in and get the Hoosiers through the fifth, but the deficit proved too much and the Hoosiers dropped the series with a 9-6 loss.

The Cubs sit atop the division, riding a 12-game home winning streak — the longest at Wrigley since 1935 — and have won 15 of their last 18 games overall. The Reds, battling in third place, dropped the series opener 5-4 on Monday in a heartbreaker featuring a Michael Conforto walk-off homer. Pitching Matchup: Andrew Abbott (Reds) vs. Jameson Taillon (Cubs) Left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.97 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) starts for Cincinnati. The 26-year-old has shown flashes but struggles with consistency, allowing too many hard-hit balls and baserunners. He posted a decent outing against Colorado recently (2 runs in 6 IP) but faces a Cubs lineup that ranks among the league’s better offenses. Right-hander Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.41 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) counters for Chicago. Taillon provides steady innings and has kept the ball in the yard better lately, though he has surrendered at least one homer in five straight starts. His lower walk rate gives the Cubs an edge in limiting free passes. The betting line favors the Cubs at home (-164) with the over/under set at 8 runs, reflecting Wrigley’s hitter-friendly conditions and both teams’ offensive potential. Team Strengths and Key Players The Cubs boast one of the NL’s top offenses, averaging over 5 runs per game. Standouts include Ian Happ (strong history vs. Reds), Seiya Suzuki (power and consistency), Pete Crow-Armstrong (speed, defense, and rising star potential), Michael Busch, and new addition Alex Bregman at third base, bolstering an already solid infield. Chicago’s recent hot streak highlights their depth and clutch hitting. The Reds counter with dynamic talent led by Elly De La Cruz (speed and power), Tyler Stephenson (elite hard-hit and plate discipline metrics), and contributors like Spencer Steer and JJ Bleday. Cincinnati has shown fight, winning close games (7-2 in one-run contests), but their pitching staff has been inconsistent, posting a higher team ERA. Recent Form and Context Chicago extended their home dominance with Monday’s comeback win, powered by Suzuki’s massive three-run homer. The Cubs lead the Reds by three games in the division and aim to pull away early in the season. Cincinnati enters on a mini skid but remains competitive, boasting a solid road record (10-7) and young upside. Wrigley Field’s atmosphere should be electric for this intradivision battle. Factors like wind, bullpen usage (both teams leaned on relievers Monday), and timely hitting will decide the outcome. The Cubs’ home momentum and pitching edge make them favorites, but the Reds’ athleticism — particularly on the bases and with power threats — keeps this matchup dangerous. Prediction and Outlook Expect an offensive showcase. The Cubs’ lineup depth and home cooking suggest a narrow victory, perhaps 5-4 or 6-3, pushing their home winning streak to 13 games. The Reds have the talent to steal a game if Abbott can limit damage early and their speed creates chaos on the bases. This series carries early-season weight in the NL Central. A Cubs win would widen the gap and reinforce their status as division frontrunners, while a Reds victory would tighten the race and validate Cincinnati’s contention hopes. With strong lineups on both sides and Wrigley’s unpredictable elements, fans should be treated to an entertaining night of baseball.
PHI 1-0 MIA - ¡JOYA DE NOLA! Aaron domina a Marlins y los Filis vuelan con Mattingly ⚾🔥🔔
Aaron Nola no había lanzado desde el 26 de abril en Atlanta. Nola no lo sabía, pero aquel sería el último partido de Rob Thomson como manager. El presidente de operaciones de béisbol de los Filis, Dave Dombrowski, relevó a Thomson de sus funciones dos días después, nombrando a Don Mattingly como manager interino. Unos días más tarde, los Filis reorganizaron la rotación para separar a los zurdos Cristopher Sánchez y Jesús Luzardo, y así brindarle a Nola dos días adicionales de descanso —siete días en total—, lo que le permitió realizar una segunda sesión de bullpen para trabajar en todo aquello que le venía afectando. Nola lanzó seis entradas en blanco en la victoria por 1-0 del lunes por la noche sobre los Marlins en el loanDepot park, ayudando a los Filis a ganar la serie de cuatro juegos y elevando su récord a 6-1 bajo la dirección de Mattingly. Nola permitió cinco hits, no otorgó bases por bolas y ponchó a cinco bateadores. El repertorio de Nola mostró un ligero repunte ante Miami. Su recta de cuatro costuras promedió 92.4 mph, un aumento de 0.8 mph respecto a su promedio de la temporada. Llegó a alcanzar las 94.3 mph. Resultaba fácil concluir que el descanso adicional había sido beneficioso. Al fin y al cabo, Nola llegaba al partido con una marca de 1-3 y una efectividad de 6.03. Era apenas la segunda vez en la carrera de Nola que disponía de tanto descanso entre aperturas, sin contar las pausas prolongadas debido al Juego de Estrellas, lesiones o la temporada de 2020, acortada por la pandemia. La última vez que esto ocurrió fue del 5 al 13 de junio de 2024; casualmente, sucedió después de la última apertura de Nola, en la que lanzó al menos seis entradas en blanco sin otorgar bases por bolas a ningún bateador. Quizás esto sea algo que los Filis busquen hacer con mayor frecuencia, aunque conceder siete días de descanso no resulte factible. No obstante, si un día adicional aquí o allá ayuda a Nola a ser más competitivo, tal vez decidan intentarlo. Bryce Harper conectó un jonrón solitario hacia el jardín derecho en la tercera entrada. Fue el séptimo cuadrangular de la temporada para Harper. Garrett Stubbs sorprendió a dos corredores que intentaban robar una base, siendo esta la primera vez en un partido que lograba tal hazaña.
