BCB After Dark: PCA or Busch?

Welcome to BCB After Dark: the hippest hangout for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in out of the heat. We’ll all commiserate together. We still have a few tables available. The show will start soon. Bring your own beverage. You’re gonna need it.

BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon.

Disregarding the Cubs’ recent defeat against the Phillies with a score of 5-3, let’s move on.

In a recent discussion, many of you expressed the opinion that the Cubs should retain Justin Steele and develop the team around him rather than considering trading him.

Now, onto lighter topics like jazz and movies, feel free to skip if you’re not interested.

To celebrate Independence Day and actress Eva Marie Saint’s 100th birthday, enjoy a jazz performance by the Airmen of Note from the United States Air Force Band with their rendition of “Hunting Wabbits.”

Watch the performance here.

Eva Marie Saint, the oldest-living Oscar winner and a significant figure in cinema, celebrates her 100th birthday alongside Independence Day.

Share your favorite films featuring Eva Marie Saint and your go-to patriotic movies in the comments.

Join the conversation by mentioning your favorite patriotic movie, regardless of the theme, like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”

Which brings us to a cheerful discussion on the potential futures of rookies Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch in the Cubs team.

While Crow-Armstrong has shown prowess in stealing bases and fielding, Busch’s performance has improved significantly this year, especially in June.

Considering their age difference and current performance, which rookie do you think will thrive more in their Cubs career?

Cast your vote and express your thoughts on their overall value, encompassing defense and baserunning in addition to batting prowess.

Have a wonderful holiday and join us again for more BCB After Dark.
