Cubs (Brown) vs. Cardinals (Leahy): 5/30/26, 6:15pm

[BKHoo]

Good defense tonight. (By the Cubs in case that was not obvious.)

[JHBulls]

Watched the catch back several times as it was impressive. The announcer called PCA Carl Armstrong, yeah? lol.

When PCA is at his best it's a sight to behold

His name is Pete Crow Alexander. He was a triple away from the triple crown.

To be honest, Palencia hasn't been as good as I expected, after what I saw in WBC.  The defense saved a run or two for him tonight.

The butthurt is strong with Cardinals fans when it comes to PCA. 

I also saw the "throw" by the Cardinals fan who caught PCA HR. I don't think that Cardinal fan had too many father/son playing catch moments in his life.

Yeah, an actual pitcher with good stuff and good velocity. Nice change of pace 

[Outshined_One]

I love PCA the same way I love Baez.

Been exhausting lately

able to watch some of the game now that I'm home and you guys weren't kidding about the announcer. He is unhinged

Ben Brown no home runs allowed in his last 51ish innings I think it was. Can he pass on that skill to Taillon and Shota? Would be great.

I mean I think the takeaway is it's mostly not skill

It felt great to watch elite starting pitching today.  We've been robbed of that this season with all of the injuries.  Very imperfect lineup and serious questions about roster construction, but if the Cubs have Boyd/Cabrera/Steele/Horton healthy, this team is probably as good as anyone outside of the Braves/Dodgers.
