maybe Im naive, but idk how many pro sports teams foster this type of environment within their stadium, connecting the players to the fans. maybe its because they did finally win it but it feels like theres much more than that. just a thicker fabric. just different here

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

how can you not be romantic about baseball?

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

This one belongs in a frame.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Michael Busch just hit a home run right to ANTHONY RIZZO 😂

Writing another chapter of Wrigley Field history.

See you next year.

@Davey_Baseball That was a brutal effort running to first base too.

[Alex Cohen @voiceofcohen2]

Come on, @MLBNetwork.

Greg -- Pete wasn't the worst player on the Cubs the first 2 months.

15 bad games to start the year. That's it.

First 15: .203/.243/.271, .514 OPS
Next 30: .255/.342/.415, .757 OPS
Another 30: .331/.404/.703, 1.107 OPS
Last 18: .385/.529/.708, 1.237 OPS

This game was the general formula for how the Cubs have to find some wins.

Score a whole lot of runs, hope it holds up. And sometimes it won't with this pitching.

The hope is that in a month the roster talent (with health and adds) gives you other ways to win more regularly.

PCA is an all star and somewhere, Becky from Orland Park is telling people at a BBQ after her sixth White Claw about how her yelling at him during that Sox game is somehow the reason why.

[Cubs Zone @CubsZone]

Craig Counsell lets Pete Crow-Armstrong he is headed to the 2026 MLB All-Star Game 🤩

[Jesse Rogers @JesseRogersESPN]

Here we go. Cubs home runs today: Suzuki, Busch, PCA, Conforto 2, Swanson 3.
-The 8 home runs tie the franchise record (done on July 4, 2025 vs the Cardinals).
-Dansby Swanson has 8 RBI, the most in a game by a Cubs player since Sammy Sosa in 2002 (9 at Rockies).

[MLB @MLB]

Go, Cubs, Go 🎶

The @Cubs walk it off for the MLB-leading TENTH time this season!

[Michael Hogan @MHogan42]

@Davey_Baseball That’s the type of win that really brings a team together too. In fact, you could say that about this entire week. Pitchers going down left and right and they went 6-1. Just incredible.

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Dansby Swanson’s 15 RBI tie 1932 Kiki Cuyler, in a 5-game series, for the most RBI in a series of any length by a Cubs player since RBI official (1920)

This is only game 3 of 4

[Michael Hogan @MHogan42]

@TheBlogfines Kind of just have to hold your breath or shield your eyes and hope for the best.

[Brett Taylor @Brett_A_Taylor]

Here's why the PCA play there is not the infamous Ronny Cedeño play. PCA did not overslide the bag - it was all one continuous play, with an umpire staring overhead and making NO CALL. It was absolutely nonsense application of the rule.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

There have been over 5 million total 18-game spans by players in MLB's modern era.

In none of them did a player have as many hits, doubles, triples, homers & steals as the @Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong over his last 18 games:

34 hits
5 doubles
2 triples
9 home runs
6 stolen bases

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG HAS HIT FOR THE CYCLE.

[Michael Hogan @MHogan42]

@brendan_cubs He should make himself useful and trademark the infield pop-out.

[Michael Hogan @MHogan42]

@CarlsBeef What levers do they have left to pull other than something big? Lineup changes have been made. Guys have been benched. Prospects have been called up. Nothing has worked. They’ve invested too much in this season to let this continue without trying something drastic.
