Slashing .368/.455/.737 coming into the day and then goes yard for 3 more RBI
Looking like he could definitely be earning himself a future with the Cubs
Around this time last year, Cubs fans were debating if “King Tuck” was worth possibly 500M on the open market
Through 77 games:👀

Pete’s preseason extension looking PRITTY GOOD rn ‼️
@KevinC1086742@itsrosesm you becoming a multimillionaire doesn’t prove Reagan was good for America any more than winning the lottery proves gambling is a retirement plan.
tbh i give it a C+ grade, it’s pretty pure and it’s a pretty low stakes depth optimization by jed. cam was an older minor league first baseman with low power and high obp, and jayden murray is yk a multi option mid 90s relief arm that can do some good and turn it around in chicago, so yeah i actually kinda like this move, hopefully it doesn’t backfire

What swing changes has Pete Crow-Armstrong made? Let's zoom in and slow down Pete's swing.
- Left: April (hands higher, top of bat facing dugout pre-pitch, small stride)
- Right: June (hands lower, top of bat facing sky pre-pitch, bigger stride)
okay rn ur arguing semantics while dodging the point. yes, wealth is the value of assets. and why do assets have value? bc they represent claims on real things like land, housing, companies, resources, labor, and future income 😃 if everyone suddenly had a billion dollars worth of assets, asset prices would explode and the term “billionaire” would become meaningless. who controls the real wealth of society and whether working people can afford a decent life?
saying my comment is dumb is a lot easier than explaining why union membership collapsed, worker bargaining power declined, wealth inequality exploded, CEO pay went vertical, and real wages stagnated while productivity kept rising after the Reagan era. so if Reaganomics worked so well, why are working Americans less economically secure than their grandparents? it’s bc Reagan defenders never actually defend Reagan’s results, they just call people dumb and hope nobody notices that the middle class stopped getting a proportional share of the wealth they were creating around the same time Reagan’s economic model took over, it’s almost like the record isn’t on their side 🤔
okay but listen awareness by itself doesn’t actually change anything. people knew children were working in factories. people also knew monopolies were crushing competitors. and also people knew companies were dumping waste into rivers. so what happened next? there came antitrust laws, labor laws, food safety laws, environmental laws, and enforcement. you keep pointing to examples of government failing. i’m trying to point to examples where concentrated private power failed too. im not tryna say trust the government blindly, all i wanna say is that i don’t trust billionaires blindly either.
