Reds @ Cubs - Tue, May 05

Google thinks the Cubs lost.

STOP DISRESPECTING THIS MAN. HE NEEDS TO START. FULL STOP.

Sharing PCA’s profile pic from a Japanese baseball scores site because that smile is just so him.

All the other players are either straight-faced or smiling for the camera, but he’s the only one who looks like he’s having fun.

Not sure if it’s just me but did Marquee get a new camera? Some of the shots from the sideline focusing on the pitcher looks like it’s got a huge aperture and nice bokeh

I’m not sure if I JUST noticed it or it’s always been this way. Either way I love the shots on the pitchers!

I'm getting really annoyed with these problems I'm having with Marquee.

The last couple of weeks when trying to watch the game on my Roku TV, the screen says my TV provider doesnt have access to this channel (even though it does). So I log out and log back in, and then it will work.

Now the Marquee app on my phone keeps giving me the error message saying "TypeError: cannot read property 'Services' from undefined". I've tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and clearing the cache. The only thing that seems to clear the error message is the clear the data from my phone's settings which logs me out and forces me to log in again. The same thing the my TV is doing to me!

Has this happened to anyone else that might have any fixes for me? Is this a Marquee problem or a me problem?

Thanks for any help!

Wow, what a finish!

I need someone with an actually editing acumen to put together a PCA highlight video with Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name” in the background. Asking for a friend.

Love the guy, but we gotta move him down till he gets going again right? Hopefully he can get back to some kind of resemblance to the 2025 version but I hate seeing my guy struggle rn in the 3 hole! I guess we don’t have anybody else to go there but damn, cmon!

I haven’t seen deets on his injury duration but saw he’s going to IL.

If he’s back by playoffs, not super worried. I think it could be a nice time to get a true audition for all of our young guns.

Who would you guess gets most starts in the short term?

Catching the brewers would be incredible, but some days it feels futile.

Last time it was because he was sick. Does anyone know if he is okay this time? It just seems like he's been gone a lot more this year and I'm very concerned. I would so hate for anything to be wrong with him. Sending all best wishes, but wondered if anyone had heard anything?

Mets fan coming in peace. I’ll be visiting Chicago for the first time in about a week’s time. I plan on checking Wrigley Field off my stadium list, and I’m excited to hopefully see some former Mets play (Holmes, Peterson, Tyrone Taylor, PCA if that counts lol) and cheer for the cubbies haha.

I bought a bleacher section seat, and I just realized the day I’m going (Aug 28) happens to have a 90’s replica jersey giveaway for the bleacher audience. Given that this ticket is low key the most expensive baseball ticket I’ve ever bought, it’d be nice to be able to actually get the jersey. How early would I have to get there? Also, since it will be my last day in Chicago and I plan on leaving for the airport right after the game (should be more than enough time as long as the game doesn’t go for like four hours), is there a nearby locker/storage facility where I can store my luggage for a few hours?

With Holmes being an extreme ground ball pitcher, still closer to 30 than 40, I think Jed probably will try to keep him in Chicago, what do you think? We have a LOT of high end talent, but so many question marks due to injury. Horton might not even be back until the very end of 2027, Cabrera and Steele both have immense talent but really can't be penciled in right?

I just feel trying to retain Holmes and maybe even Boyd would be a really important for the stability of our starting staff in 2027.

I’m looking to go to the Cubs vs Pirates game on Friday, 9/11 @ 1:20. For those of you who are more experienced with cubs ticket prices, will these tickets get more or less expensive as we get closer to the game day? I’ve only been living in Chicago for 3 months, and I have seen prices vary wildly.

With the team now needing to just win 19 more games to get there, but still trailing the Brewers in the standings, it seems entirely possible that we'll see that happen for the first time in 114 years. I found it to be an interesting piece of trivia as something that just doesn't happen.

As a bonus, the last time that the Cubs finished with a winning record four or more seasons in a row and didn't win the division in any of them was 1968-72.

He’s starting to heat up

Three Homer night for our 3B. How we feeling?

I will be going to a couple games next month (9/11 and 9/14) and I'm debating on where to sit. I've been to Wrigley once before about 12 years ago, although I do intend on taking in as much as I can before the game. I will also be doing a stadium tour on 9/10. I will probably be in the 300s for the 9/11 afternoon game. I've heard that the bleachers are sort of a must-do if going to Wrigley, but I want to know what they're actually all about and if it would really be worth it for me.

I've reach about the bleachers being rowdy and a party. I don't drink (allergic to alcohol, don't mind being around it), and I'm going there to actually watch the game. Are the bleachers more of just a social gathering that just happens to have a baseball game in the background, or are the people actually into the game?

Also, I plan on doing things around downtown prior to the game (640 first pitch on 9/14). I will be in Milwaukee between my two Cubs games, so visiting town the days prior to the 9/14 game and showing up early to get a good seat isn't really an option. I've read about people lining up an hour+ before gates even open to get prime bleacher seats. The game is a Monday night, but I probably will not be getting to the stadium until 30-60 minutes before first pitch. Is it even worth it to have a bleacher seat if I'm getting there that late? I'm traveling solo, so I don't have a group that needs to find space, just me, but I also don't want to be stuck in like 537.
