I wouldn't get too hung up on Ross's idiotic statement of "playing the guys who got us here". The moron was planning to keep Smyly in the rotation by asking people to give him some "grace". Ross is straight up a moron but Hoyer isn't, if needed he'll step in and force Ross's hand like he did with Wicks.

Is now a good time to mention I've never seen Little Big League? As long as we're at it, I haven't seen Rookie of the Year either.

Well, they're two of the top 10 baseball movies ever, but the quality of baseball movies is extremely thin.

There are some pretty damn good baseball movies out there.

Rookie of the Year was bigger, obviously has the Cubs/Wrigley aspect, and has the more memorable moments.

Little Big League is the better movie.

What were you doing during your childhood, going outside and stuff?

Rookie of the Year is amazing, especially for Cubs fans.  Really like how it captures early 90's Wrigley too.  Little Big League is good too but a little less popular in terms of 90s sports movies, but features cameos from Griffey and Randy Johnson.

You should watch both, they're fun.

Yeah, like 4 maybe? Bull Durham, A League of their Own, 42 is really good also. Past that, it's a slew of comedies and melodrama. Little Big League is better movie, Rookie of the Year is a more fun rewatch.

Is it confirmed that PCA isn't being activated for tonight's game?  Not until Tuesday?

There was a report a couple of hours ago that he was traveling to Denver and trying to get there in time to be active for tonights game but nothing guaranteed.

What was your favorite moment of the Canairo era? Mine was Ross having a good laugh at bringing him in to face SF's closer. 

[Jason Ross]

That's exciting.

Such a stereotypical manager. If he had his way Hosmer would still be taking up space in the clubhouse and the Cubs would be 5 games under .500

Moneyball is very good. Everybody Wants Some! is about a baseball team but not sure it counts as a baseball movie. Eight Men Out, Major League, and Bad News Bears all crack my top ten too.

 

ETA: I’d rank the 90s kids baseball movies (1) Sandlot, (2) Little Big League, (3) Rookie of the Year.

The Natural, Field of Dreams, The Rookie was decent enough and Pride of the Yankees and Bang The Drum Slowly if you want to go old school.  I also remember liking The Stratton Story but I was pretty young when I saw it.

Why am I just finding out right now that his dad was also on Heroes?
