Cubs' Balk Drama & Playoff Fire | Chicago Cubs News

Cubs return to Wrigley after a brutal road trip, fueled by outrage over a missed balk call that cost them a win — and nearly sent Pete Crow-Armstrong flying into the stands. The umpires admitted their error live, but not before Crow-Armstrong had to be restrained, a moment that could’ve derailed his MVP push. It’s the kind of fiery, old-school baseball drama fans live for — think Andre Dawson’s legendary check to the league. Now, with playoff hopes on the line, the Cubs face the Reds before a big Brewers series, all while celebrating their 150th season with special events, $1.50 beers, and a new Founders’ Clock honoring their storied past.
