PUPA Podcast Doesn't Exist, Episode 71. Welcome to the d Welcome to Episode 71 of Podcast Doesn't Exist. What a week of baseball and what a week for Pete Crow Armstrong, a man of many names. Three names and one name at least. What's his middle name, Mitchell?
I've never actually thought about
this. So so many names Mitchell doesn't even know. That's crazy. We just call him PCA for short. All right. And his name
is not Peter.
Pete.
Yeah. His name is Pete Henry. Crow Armstrong.
Pete Henry. Now you know. The more you know, the more you know. Pete. Henry Crow Armstrong Might have fucked around and won the MVP this week. So the Chicago Cubs had themselves a week. More specifically, PCA Pete Henry Crow Armstrong had himself a week. The Cubs turned 150 years old this year. Did you know that? Probably not, because that is a niche fact that not people will know. But they did. They are 150. And on Saturday, they had a pregame ceremony to honor all the Cubs legends. One of the Cubs legends, Sammy Sosa Formerly known as Samuel Sosa. That's his real name, right, Mitchell?
I think it's Sam Well.
Sam Well Sosa was there and he told P. Crow Armstrong before the game Talking about Kerr Armstrong's season, he told him, Quote, I'm not satisfied. I want three out of you today. I need three home runs. That's what Sammy Sosa says to P. Kerr Armstrong in the very first inning. Home run. For B Crow Armstrong. Eighth lead-off home run. of the year for Pico Armstrong. The very next inning. Two home runs and two innings. Then in the seventh inning comes up again. Bam. That's three home runs in one game for the first time in Pete Henry Crow Armstrong's career. He has three homers in one game. And it was a week of home for Pete Crow Armstrong. It's funny 'cause actually came up again later in the in the uh game and they had a position player pitch to Pet Crow Armstrong and they're like thinking, Damn, this is gonna be a uh this is a four home run game coming up.
The guy throws a ball to him, he gets frickin' booed. Next day, Pete Karomstrong comes to the plate again in the first inning. Another leadoff home run that's counted up. That's nine leadoff home runs for PCA this this um season and it was just when you thought he couldn't get any better. He comes up again in the bottom of the ninth inning and he's facing a pitcher and the pitcher throws him a ball and notice he does do it. That's five home runs. What did you say? He does it. He does what he does. What did he done do it? He does what he does best. Pika Armstrong hits five home runs in two games. Three in one game, two in the next game, two leadoff home runs. And that is six hits. Five of them are homers in two games, eight RBIs in two games, 21 total bases in two games.
And this week he had an 893 slugging percentage. Over the past two weeks, 10 home runs. In two freaking weeks, 1,395 OPS. He's reached 3030 and now is eight steals away and two home runs away from 4040. Not to mention he's first in fielding run value, second and outs above average, and on pace to have the second most valuable season in eight. Cubs history. And how many years have the Cubs been around, Jack?
One hundred and fifty years.
How does PCA's recent performance compare to Shohei Ohtani in the MVP race?
One hundred and fifty fucking years. How many think Cubs players? What's how many players on a roster? Twenty five right now. So you could c multiply that by one hundred and fifty. We're talking about Close to Two thousand players. Close to 2,000 players have to be able to do that. I just put the camera on Mitch for a while. Guy doesn't know math for shit, man. Get him out of the fucking podcast circuit.
I have panic math. Like I can't panic math. I freak out. Yeah, you're not you're not clutch under pressure.
Unlike Picrow Armstrong, who this week was a big week for him. We talked about him last week because he got hot as fuck last week. Now he's been hot since probably June. He's been the hottest player in baseball by a mile, right? And he was encroaching on Shoei territory because when it comes to the most valuable player in MLB, that is Shohei's award. If you're gonna win it in the National League, you gotta be better than Shoe.
