Have no fear, PCA is here

Joseph // 24 // central time cubby since 2022

[and-the-payoff]

Hi y'all! I've been watching cubs ball for a few years and really wanted to dig into some fan spaces this season. I've been watching spring training and just have so much excitement that it's hard to keep it to myself so I wanted to (hopefully) have some friends here!

Anyway, I'll disclose that while I do watch the vast majority of cubs games, I'm a more casual fan. I don't watch stats or predictions and I learn about trades from commentators; I mostly love players for how I feel about them, and if that means it's because they have a good mustache to remember them by after their first game, so be it! (Looking at Scalzo Jr.)

Some of my favorites are Swanson, PCA, and Suzuki. I do love most of the regular A-team guys too like Happ, Hoerner, Busch, and Amaya. I've also already been really impressed with Bruján. I do have some favorite pitchers like Imanaga, Steele (ofc), Assad, and I've been loving what I've seen of Ben Brown.

Anyway, I'll keep this pinned as an intro post for a while—which means it's subject to be edited or removed eventually—but just an FYI while I'm still a blank-ish blog. I'm only really scrolling through some main tags to find people so if you have mutuals to recommend: I'm all ears!

P.S. I've never had a sideblog before so I didn't realize it, but I'll be following from my main/fall out boy blog dancedance-miserable lmfao

What the fuck. How did that happen

[thelesbianthespianposts]

starting a series I’m calling “Stuff I like in Baseball”

The big stretch the first baseman has to do to catch the ball and remain on base

When a pitch rolls away and the catcher has to look all threatening at the base runners when he gets it

When the batter strikes out so bad and he can tell

When the fielder gives up trying to catch the home run ball

When the second baseman tries to catch a ball twenty feet above him

more to come

Nothing quite like talking shop with the boys. Got to watch 3 baseball games back to back and talk about my card collection and old jerseys and player stats with my dad and uncle

[and-the-payoff]

I just finished sorting my hundreds and hundreds of cards and these are undoubtedly my top 3 photos of all. Not influenced by who they are, just awesome framing and good pics

Got to see Imanaga pitch 4.1 innings in Nashville last night. Still reeling from that. Never would've expected to see him rehabbing at MY game

Walkoff homerun in the 10th from Vierling. And that out laced to 2nd from Mercer in the 7th was absolutely crazy

[and-the-payoff]

Just won super regionals for the first time btw. My little college team is headed to the NCAA World Series for the first time ever. Just btw

Kyle Tucker launches a homerun for the early lead, getting him to 11 on the season. Tucker would end up with 3 hits on the night, hopefully breaking him out of his recent slump. [5/20/25]

Happ makes an incredible catch in the 7th! [4/5/25]
