r/Cubs

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

I was born in Cali, but raised on Long Island. My father was a Yankees fan but never really watched he would just say he was a fan. So I basically became a fan of them too. I didn’t really start to watch baseball until this year when T-Mobile gave me MLB TV for free. And I’m always pulling for the cubs to win, I love watching PCA and Bregman. I’ve been to Chicago once and I just loved the city back in 2021. I’m always catching myself watching cubs games more than Yankees. And today it hit me that I’m cheering for the cubs more. But I want to know if it’s okay to switch. I’ve never been a bandwagoner and I really don’t want to be. But for the first time in 27 years im stuck. ( im a jets and Knicks fan) (also a la Kings fan) so ik struggle and stay with struggle.

I dont like that he has to wear the bright orange just to make sure he's seen all the time on TV.

Hes got money to sit anywhere he wants. Good for him, wear whatever you want, but the orange annoys me bc he's definitely doing it to be a jag.

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!

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!

Wow, what a finish!

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?

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.

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?

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

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.
