The Chicago Cubs know they have something special in Pete Crow-Armstrong. There’s no real way to gauge, however, just HOW special. Earlier in the season, the “PCA” hyperbole was insane.

There are no velvet ropes or surly bouncers outside the Cubs’ 30/30 club, but it’s still so exclusive that only one other man has ever been admitted. And he was a pariah until this season, so it’s quite fitting that a second member should be joining soon.
Anyy time the Chicago Cubs play against the Pittsburgh Pirates it is a special occasion for veteran left fielder Ian Happ. Born in the Steel City, he went to high school at Mount Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Jameson Taillon brought out his A game. It’s easy to forget that he had a really great run earlier this season. Over a six-game stretch from May 14 through June 12, he made six starts — all quality starts — and went 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA over 39 innings of work.
