@trianbromasjr @HOWARD_SZNN @TheWrigleyWire @J0hnnyBook If pitching isn’t part of the equation the PCA is inherently more valuable than Ohtani. Ohtani, Sanchez, Witt, Miz and possibly Judge are the players you could say are better or “more valuable” than PCA this season. That’s the entire possible list.

@HOWARD_SZNN @TheWrigleyWire @J0hnnyBook For most pitchers sure but for elite ones I’d have to disagree

Including Pete Crow-Armstrong, there are 21 players with a 140 wRC+ or higher this season. PCA’s Fielding Run Value is 27 runs better than the other 20 players combined. His ability to impact the game at an elite level both at the plate and in the field is truly remarkable.

@hunterGahan_05 @hockey_dad45 @BBGreatMoments NFL quarterback is easily the hardest. I love baseball but catchers know what pitch is coming every time and the desired location too. Hockey goalie can be 2nd after QB but catchers are at minimum behind those 2. Baseball batter is much more difficult than any defensive position

@hockey_dad45 @BBGreatMoments You do know that catchers have to be quick on their feet, have a cannon for an arm, catch a baseball moving in all sorts of directions that can be over 100 mph, all while wearing gear?

Hardest Positions to Play in Professional Team Sports.

@Chi_Mixologist5 @dasherextreme @TheConnorPils These stats are impressive as hell nobody can deny that, but bending the rules for the dodgers to remove and insert him into games whenever they please is a little silly.

@dasherextreme @TheConnorPils Because being a dominant starting pitcher and hitter at the same time is easier than playing outfield? You can't be serious. Ohtani would be a plus outfielder if he decided to give up pitching, but that would be silly since he currently is doing this -

“I hate Cubs fans cuz they act like Pete is an MVP candidate” ……

@ryneobrien @yaya_iglesias @CorySechrest The pitching complaint is so overused. In case yall keep forgetting we have no pitching staff so how could you possibly do well managing a staff that has 15+ injuries? Somehow thru one of the worst team slumps in history we are still treading water above .500 and showing life.

@yaya_iglesias @CorySechrest Don’t forget: -Lineups never make sense -Sitting players as soon as they get hot -Leaving pitchers in too long I mean the Brewers didn’t skip a beat when he left, makes me think they were just good and Craig was just there

I'm still going through and reviewing the game from last night, but how on earth did the #Cubs not challenge this play? You can clearly see the ball bounce off the field before it makes its way to his glove. Did Counsell ever give an explanation?

@JoelJstevens @LutherWalt7 @CubsZone Exactly what I came to say. I love that he’s looking for a steal there as well, but part of being a lethal baserunner is not getting caught out on the bases.

@LutherWalt7 @CubsZone He didn’t get the steal because he wasn’t locked in and paying attention…..everything matters

Craig Counsell says his excitement for Pete Crow-Armstrong’s cycle was “short lived” after he got picked off 😭

@comicskirby This is assuming the government allocates all the money correctly which we all obviously know isn’t happening. The government has plenty of money to make amazing progress towards these issues already but fraud, waste and incompetence is causing little to no progress being made.

@bleckwith23058 @bunsoffun4227 @waltonite0 @BeaconTerraOne @huskyXBT Not necessarily everyone going to the space station, but when AI data centers are put into orbit, when a base is established on the moon, and other things that we can’t forecast 25+ years from now. To see long term investment you have to open your mind.

@bunsoffun4227 @waltonite0 @BeaconTerraOne @huskyXBT LMAO. Yes because everyone is going to eventually go to the international space station. You realize how dumb that sounds?

let me understand…. I put 1k into spacex today. if spacex goes to $5T, i make 1k. yea, ok... nobody will get rich

I’ve seen a lot of people excusing the umpires for this call. Not quite sure why. This type of missed call is unacceptable. Not even a review?? Yeah this is the worst call I’ve seen in quite a while

@crev99 @LifeWithDadpool @JomboyMedia It is reviewable tho it’s just not challengeable. The umpires should’ve sent it to review if they missed it, but watching a game how can you miss this??

@LifeWithDadpool @JomboyMedia It wasn't obvious to the umpires. And it's not reviewable. Players and coach need to take responsibility.

Craig Counsell is ejected after the umpires gift the Rockies a double play on a foul ball

@BeantownDiall0 @LegendOfWinning Brother LeBron was getting doubled and tripled because he was 22, alone and playing one of the greatest teams in the history of basketball lmao.

@LegendOfWinning Did you watch the finals LeBron coulda won this if he didn’t shoot so bad lmao he went stretches missing a lot of jumpers when he felt the driving wasn’t working he lost game 3 by 3 points 9-23 0-5 at 3 5 TOs lost game 4 by 1 point 10-30 2-7 at 3 6TOs lmao game 1 4-16 6TOs 2/6 3s

The further we are removed from this series, the more I realize how many people genuinely have not watched the 2007 finals.

@NotoriousRL @Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs Phillies also have the best pitcher in the National League rn while the Cubs have lost an entire staff to injuries. Cubs are above .500 with a AAA pitching staff and a slumping lineup but Counsel is the problem. Got it 😂

@_KingVig @Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs Phillies fired their manager and now they have a better record than us… sometimes change is good and the man leading the team needs to go

@Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs Yeah great idea man! Fire a manager for having a “losing season” when he’s lost 15+ pitchers to IL 😂 I’m sure another manager could come in and just zap the injuries away and make sure we have a great staff! FOH bro we hire a new manager and yall still gonna bitch.

@_KingVig @JonTeegs if I was GM and this team w the salary don’t make playoffs Id lock him out … fired! Id give til end of season to see what happens cuz as we all know it’s a long season and can turn back good quick. But if no playoffs id find a manager for lot cheaper. We can do better lol

@Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs If you count “smoking” as striking out 40% of the time I guess bro was on fire!

@_KingVig @JonTeegs I know buddy n I get all that… I hope he does great but I’m goin by what I see in his decision making. Then how many times u see fire in him ?? 0 ..They brought Alcantara up for a reason and it wasn’t to sit … kid had 15 HR and was smoking til… he sat the bench. 🤷‍♂️🤣

@jgbarratt @JesseRogersESPN You fans are hilarious. Giving up on the team in June after seeing the potential they have is the definition of fair weather fans! A month ago everyone was saying this team is destined to make a run. Don’t come back when they get hot!

@JesseRogersESPN They’ll probably start hitting again in July but hover around .500 all year and be eliminated in late August. Classic Hoyer high floor/low ceiling team. What sucks is they’re screwed for 3-4 years with the way Jed has built it and the farm is mid.

Alex Bregman on hearing boos at Wrigley Field: “Those can be directed at me because I haven’t come through with guys in scoring position. I have plenty of chances. Guys are getting on-base in front of me all the time.”

@24RJ24RJ @kscull @JesseRogersESPN Fuck that!! Who wants a player that asks to be moved down instead of working hard to improve?? Let the manager manage the team and take accountability for your shortcomings. That’s more than enough responsibility he’s taken on his shoulders.

@kscull @JesseRogersESPN Accountability is asking to be benched or moved down because he knows he’s a liability at this point. Words don’t mean much actions do and right now he is just saying whatever to try to conceal that hes a major problem.

@Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs Only reason Alcantara is up with the squad rn is because Shaw is hurt. He’s much more valuable to the org in AAA slugging homers to boost his trade value for loves at the deadline.

@Cammoflauge44 @JonTeegs Kevin hasn’t been ready to hit in the big leagues at all and everyone swinging on Cassie’s jock like he’s some superstar too and that fizzled out rather quickly at least for now. We have 2 gold glovers and one of our best hitters in the OF there isn’t much room.

@CubsSkipper @STL_Stats_Facts PCA has consistently had his best at bats in the majors in the lead off spot. I think it makes him consider quality at bats over just trying to crush the ball.

@STL_Stats_Facts Oh you missed the part where I said 45 days? “It’s weird that he bats leadoff.. even though he’s been really good at leadoff.. it’s still weird because it’s only been 7 days.” Lol

It's so odd that the Cubs have PCA as their leadoff guy, considering he doesnt get many hits, doesnt get on base very often, and is statistically one of the worst hitters in their lineup. But hey, i'll take it 😂
