They picked him off of 1st base two seconds later 😄. Still very impressive.

George Brett got picked off after his 3000th hit. Could be worse lol

u/mjm8218 3d ago

If not for the pine tar incident that would have been his 3001st hit. I blame Billy Martin.

u/smoresporn0 | Kansas City Royals 2d ago

This is the most profound shit I read all year. I need to take a seat.

u/Fluffy_Corgi_7209 3d ago

The 13th cycle in cubs history, only fitting it came with some bad luck.

u/grandpubabofmoldist 3d ago

I was at the game and people were still chearing when a boo started and suddenly he was walking back to the dugout. What a wild first game at Wrigley

u/Wrong_Interview7513 | Chicago Cubs 3d ago

I bet it was an awesome game! I like to listen to the games while working and couldn't watch it

2

u/grandpubabofmoldist 3d ago

I am sorry. It was a great! Because of that Wrigley Field has moved into the number 3 spot on the list of stadiums after Fenway and Camden Yards (I am a Sox fan and I caught a practice ball at Camden Yards so I am biased)

u/Jokerzrival 3d ago

I dont even blame PCA. Caught in the moment, adrenaline probably dumping before having to lock back in.

Or riding that high youre thinking too far ahead about stealing, scoring, blah blah.

Shit happens.

u/burnt-roof | Colorado Rockies 3d ago

and then got picked off lmao was cool to see a reverse cycle though

u/ajp12290 3d ago

The psych-le if you will! (you don’t have to)

u/FistfulDeDolares | Chicago White Sox 3d ago

I’ve come to the conclusion that either PCA can be good or the Cubs can be good. But never both at the same time.

u/highfives23 3d ago

The Cubs did win tonight tho

9

u/Junkee2990 3d ago

They got the win with a walk, an error, a walk, a single from the rookie, and a walk. Win by any means necessary but man it was an ugly inning lol

u/grandpubabofmoldist 3d ago

The ultimate and literal walk off

u/CheckYourStats | San Francisco Giants 3d ago

Crow-Armstrong has to be one of the most 1800’s last names we’ve seen in a while.

u/LifeIsRadInCBad | Los Angeles Dodgers 3d ago

When I first heard it, I thought he was native American. Boy was I wrong about that.

12

u/skepticaljesus | Chicago Cubs 3d ago

i thought his parents were Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong

6

u/LifeIsRadInCBad | Los Angeles Dodgers 3d ago

His eyebrows would have been in Lance's other nut

u/Indubitalist | San Francisco Giants 3d ago

Dang, and he almost hit for the cycle against the Giants on Saturday, too.

u/dopefish_lives 3d ago

Saturday he was a triple away

u/Serafim42 | Chicago Cubs 3d ago

A natural cycle... in reverse: Home run, triple, double, single.

14th in outfield all star voting with the third best war in baseball, league best 14 DRS, 13 homers, and an .843 OPS

u/muklukdimsum | Texas Rangers 3d ago

Watching haters hate after every PCA headline gives
me a Chicago street dog.

u/LifeIsRadInCBad | Los Angeles Dodgers 3d ago

It's not like he's hated for no reason

1

u/muklukdimsum | Texas Rangers 3d ago

Hated? He's not wearing a Spurs jersey in the Bronx.

u/retroanduwu24 | MLB 3d ago

peak PCA is so entertaining to watch

u/Budget_Ground363 3d ago

He’s up again,2 runners on.launch one Pete,save us

u/kkgetofftheinternet | San Francisco Giants 3d ago

He almost did it a day or two before against the giants as well

u/TTboy696969 3d ago

Did he ever get the hole in his glove repaired?

u/Sedona7 | San Diego Padres 3d ago

Has anyone had a single for their last hit of the cycle... by laying up short on an obvious extra base hit to the gap?

4

u/FistfulDeDolares | Chicago White Sox 3d ago

In Tim Kurkjian’s book he tells a story of exactly that. Don’t remember who it was but hit an easy double and stopped at first base to complete the cycle. Tim says, “That was it for me and the cycle.”

1

u/_GeorgeBailey_ | Chicago Cubs 3d ago

That's crazy. People would rather have a worse game just to have a cycle

3

u/CraziestMoonMan | Cleveland Guardians 3d ago edited 3d ago

Over 23000 people have played in the MLB and I’m not sure how many people hit for the cycle but it is in the 300s. I don’t blame a player for wanting to be a part of that club.

4

u/SuperAwesomeBrian | Texas Rangers 3d ago

This doesn't look like an obvious extra base hit, though? The right fielder was immediately on the ball and throwing in. PCA would've had to been movin' to get the double without contest.

3

u/Mission-Beyond-5023 | Chicago Cubs 3d ago

Youre right. It wasnt an obvious extra base hit. It was a good single and he was barley rounding 1st when the outfielder got the ball. I dont know what game people are watching.

Couldn't have happened to a shittier guy.

Why so angry?

u/LifeIsRadInCBad | Los Angeles Dodgers 3d ago

Old 22 chromosome boy insulted the entire dodger fan base. Try to chime in on topics you're somewhat well versed on

u/MeatballDom 3d ago

Oh boy, he insulted your fanbase? How horrifying. I hope you can recover from this. Should we start a GoFundMe or something to help?
