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. 

[PeanutPunch33]

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.

[NorthsideAvenger]

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

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

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

[soccer10k]

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

[PeanutPunch33]

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.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

that DP ball in the 6th was a bee's dick from hitting the bag and being a disaster. wow

I wonder if Hottovy has mentioned that getting absolutely crushed on every single pitch isn’t the desired outcome to those two dorks. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Watching the 9th inning, it's weird how easy it is for guys to square up Daniel's fastball. What's the issue here?

I had to mute the broadcast, this is honestly the worst PBP man I’ve ever heard in my life. Worse than Zaidman

He's horrendous.  Like among the all-time worst bad.

[Butch Gernant]

Alcantara should go down and bring up BJ Murray.

Crow Armstrongs bomb was Schwarber like.

He’s second in baseball since April 14th with a 2.2 and a 131 wRC+.

[Brian707]

The PCA bomb was perfect. 

You had the best fans in baseball chanting "overrated". He hits it to East St Louis, does an epic bat drop. To top it off the redneck teenager Cardinal fan tried to throw the ball back but it only made it to the first row.

He’s underrated if anything due to the sheer amount of dumbasses who act like he’s Ke’Bryan Hayes or something.
