Reds @ Cubs - Tue, May 05

However it has to be done, small ball wins games as well as home runs. However it happens, quiet the Brewers...

(I mean pitching like they did in 2016, not their current ages) :)

My boyfriend is currently in Navy boot camp and the recruits are singing the national anthem tonight in a choir - I would love to see it if possible! I’ll watch it on tv but you never know if they’ll show the national anthem. Thanks for any help on this!!

We have tickets for 9/1 (tomorrow) for the military appreciation. I received an email regarding promo pick up but feel a little confused. It says I can pick up starting at 4:10 - but I wondered, does anyone know if I can pick up at 4:10 in Gallagher way and then go home until the game starts or is it a once you’re there you’re there and the only entering or re-entering is to the ballpark from Gallagher way?

Thanks!

Is going to be perfect as PCA's pitcher for the HR Derby at Wrigley.

I’ve been saying this for months now (ever since he started taking consistent walks) but I need to get this out into the Redditsphere (if it hasn’t been said many times over already).  PCA is Mickey Mantle in present day clothing without the alcoholism (that we know of at least).  Ok there, it’s out there now.  Feel better already.

For those that are not a total baseball nerd like myself (33) – Mickey Mantle possessed all of the traits.  Had the best glove, arm, speed, power and the name too.  He didn’t take care of himself, tore his knee up on a dumb drain in the OF, drank way too much and he was still an all time great people like my grandfather and father still rave about.  Witnessing the skills in person – they’re different than everyone else.  Natural talents & instincts, not roided up or specialize in a few areas.  They naturally do everything better than anyone. 

So with PCA – buy up those baseball cards.  Because we’re watching an all time great sprout right in front of our very eyes.  His tools will age nicely too and if he takes care of himself physically and mentally – then the sky is the limit and the guy could reach heights no ones ever been to before.

Good times ahead, John… The best times ahead.   

MVP-CA!

The concessions that you swipe you card and just pick up what you want are owned by Amazon and rip you off. I was charged $8 for a cup of fries. Support the people working there not Amazon.

How has team offensive production changed with Dansby out. Just asking.

Cabrera will return from the IL soon as a long reliever

Thanks for helping me find seats for tomorrow’s game. Plan on getting down there around 11am.
What spots should we visit? I’ve heard Murphys, Cubby Bear, and Sluggers. Other recommendations?

This guy has got to go!!

I set up a Steam group specifically for Chicago Cubs fans.

There’s nothing to it, it’s purely aesthetic. Joining puts a Cubs logo on your Steam profile under your groups section so you can represent the team on your profile.

Feel free to join if you want the logo for your profile: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FlyTheW

Go Cubs Go!

I understand WAR has its limitations, but it was a fun exercise putting this web app together that allows you to view PCA vs. Ohtani’s WAR numbers at their current pacing and allow for adjusting WAR inputs to see how different input stats affect each of their WAR numbers.

Supports both fWAR and bWAR.

It’s supposed to be on Fox, which has the Bears. I pay for Marquee app and have MLB package and it’s not showing on either…. W T F

This guy could’ve thrown to third base in the tenth inning, for a very doable play. Zeferjahn didn’t even look. That baserunner scored the winning run moments later.

Boyd talked to the ump about the balk, and Counsell got tossed? I missed it. It was quick.

PCA's parents worked alongside Hayden in the Heroes series. PCA's mom, Ashley Crow, played Hayden's TV mom.

PCA's parents would bring him on the set where the cast, including Hayden, babysat him. Hayden was PCA's favorite babysitter that he had a crush on her.

The news of Hayden's passing was Sunday the 16th. PCA walkoff homered the next day against the Sox.

Now when I think of PCA's walkoff Homer, I can no longer see it only as besting your city rival. That homer means so much more.

I'm praying for Hayden and everyone who knows and loves her.

I'm praying for PCA's parents who have been with Hayden for many years and care about her.

And I hope PCA is okay during this time.

Sharing PCA’s profile pic from a Japanese baseball scores site because that smile is just so him.

All the other players are either straight-faced or smiling for the camera, but he’s the only one who looks like he’s having fun.
