Just watched David Fry hit a 2 run Walk Off for the Guardians, There fans went nuts! Why cant we have that?
PCA that’s it for now. Imanaga never (99%) will be face of the Cubs, just not enough time to build.
Pitcher wise, Wood, Prior were face of Cubs. So you need to get couple of those something like 20wins, no-hitter, Cy Young, lead Cubs to WS, being unquestioned #1 SP for more than 4,5 years, etc pedigrees to be considered face of franchise.
PCA of the last 3 months is a Star, But He needs to do it for more than a minute to say Yea He is a Dude
No.
Hard to pick anyone on this current team to be a face of the franchise. Maybe PCA or Shota, but it’s too early to tell. Nico has an outside chance because of his love of the game and his defense. If he picks up the offense a bit, he could be it.
PCA jersey… He needs a different number. #52 is just a weird number for PCA.
NO
Sam selling Hims feels awkward…Opening day gets me hard
Not currently. Justin Steele probably will be
The only real face the Cubs ever had was Ernie Banks
Now none
If Swanson retired today I wouldn't miss him one bit . Boat anchor of the team.
I hear ya, Sam. The thing that scares is one day sometime in the future all these postseason games will probably be pay per view. Wouldn't surprise, it's getting to be all about the $$
Why would you buy a jersey in the first place . How old are you ? Is that important to you ? Do you really want to give Ricketts more of your money ? Other than. The starting staff there are no,stars on this team ! Stop pretending .
Totally agree with you on baseball vs football and can't believe it's not on national TV.
If Cody Bellinger is here for another year, I would get his jersey
I said it before and I'll say it again, I love Sam's enthusiasm and passion for the game.
PCA is my favorite, but in order to have one stand alone guy, you need to SIGN one and not just let free agents just go by time and time again.
Bellinger would be insane to opt out.
PCA has the chance to be this teams superstar. It'll come down to how well he can hit over 162. If he can't manage around an .800 OPS he'll probably be very similar to Kevin Kiermaier which is still a very valuable player just not a star/superstar.
The Cubs are like that Billy Idol song "Eyes Without a Face". Kind of like during the lockdowns in 2020-21 with the masks on. I was jamming that and the Police, "Don't Stand So Close To Me". Those were dark times. Felt like a Jedi when all the men in this country turned into brainwashed pussies.
Ok, don't take this the wrong way, but I LOVED hearing Sam read the hims ad. Lol go slower next time
I think Witt is better than Soto but I'm just glad you didn't forget to mention Witt in the top 5 best players in baseball.
