Rahimi & Grote Show · Best of the Cubs: Pete Crow-Armstrong needs to make a few adjustments · 28 Feb 2026 podcast

Like, I mean, I've, I've coached both of my daughters, um, and their softball teams.

And, you know, that's, that is the biggest challenge of teaching kids at an early age is like, Hey, like it is, you are going to strike out.

You are going to fail.

It, it,

You just said, right, Ted Williams is arguably the greatest hitter of all time, and he's failed six out of ten times, and that's the best to ever do it.

So, no, I mean, that is the sport to me where failure is so prominent.

I mean, you know this, Speaks, but it is a team sport.

that is individual, right?

or anything, and basically was told that you needed life-saving open-heart surgery to be able to continue to live, essentially.

And so the fine folks at the Cleveland Clinic told me I needed to come there and have this procedure done, and I told them, that sounds great, but I'm going to wait until after the World Series.

And they were like, well, I mean, how do you know the Indians are going to make it?

And I was like, oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no.

This is about the Cubs, right?
