Huge hat tip to Nico. Webb got a little marmol-y there but huge by him too. 
 

PCA with comfortably the greatest cubs season of my adult life. Insane.

White Sox fans watching PCA begin and end the game with a home run:

What a rollercoaster of a game - Hoerner, Webb, and of course to PCA for putting it all together! Bookends

[PeanutPunch33]

I still got adrenaline from that game.  What a fun team and PCA better win MVP 

[Rcal10]

Fun fact. Nico had as many hits as the white Sox. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pete slumped for a week, didnt even take a walk, dropped 30 pts of OPS, and made it all up in a single night. Just absolutely crazy.

 

The best kept secret is he's a reverse splits guy this year. Keep throwing the lefties at him.

PCAs fWAR lead had dropped toa measly 2.0 going into tonight. Back up to 2.4.

Lol pete in his post game interview.

 

"I guess the fans were competing in the bleachers too"

Is that excluding Shohei? This shows Shohei at 1.1 behind PCA, which I assume is before today. He was 2 ahead of Yordan which matches your post.

Just PCA doing PCA stuff.  Lightning strikes twice.  What a Cub.

I'm choosing to believe that PCA was somehow informed that Shohei was 4-5 with 2 HR and 3 RBI today and decided he needed to match that output with his HR in the 10th.

Pete is unbeatable.  Every team will hate his guts by the end of the season.

[Jason Ross]

Getting old is a bitch. My old ass passed out with Webb on the mound, two outs and bases loaded (I stupidly got in bed). Missed all the fun.

Where can I find PCAs numbers against left handed sliders?

Anyone have a link to the White Sox call (radio or TV) of the PCA walk-off?

He mashes them. I can’t believe he got one near the strike zone on a 2-1 count.
