My grandpa passed 3-5-20, and he’s always been a diehard Cubs fan. He went to almost all of the games, and he’s always been happy watching a game. His funeral was today, and he was buried in a Cubs jacket/sweater, from when you won the World Series in 2016. At the funeral home, the workers also wore Cubs merchandise. If given the chance, he would always go to a game. He has a piece of art, of him and his 2 friends, about to go to a Cubs game. I wrote this comment to let you know, that one of your biggest fans has passed, and that you guys made him the happiest. Thank you for bringing the light into his life.
LMAO I can't take Bryant at bat doing the whole "oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God" bit from Rookie of the Year. That was gold 😂😂 Hoping to get to Wrigley for 2 D-Backs games in April. Watched them in spring training in AZ years and years ago, but always the dream to see the ivy at Wrigley, just a long drive from Ogden. Determined none the less.
Seriously, MLB needs to see how fun this is. As a new-ISH baseball fan, this really got me hooked onto watching more baseball. It's hilarious to listen to the banter back and forth, and since baseball isn't as fast paced as some other sports, this kinda thing makes it more interesting. Baseball needs to market their players like this and make it more fun for younger people!
@@willm3027 everyone cheats in one form or another. Houston just got caught. Dont think nobody else in the league tries to get an advantage, that's the name of the game.
tucci3tears yeah. And they can cut the communication at certain moments the mics in the QB helmets. Like say you’re at bat, your ear bud is off. That’s a possibility

@@tuccimane lol and your point is? trying to get an advantage base on your skill is one thing but it is totally different if you use technology. learn the difference.
Joe knows what he's doing, its sad that the Cubs over-rid what he was telling them to make the Cubs the team they needed to be last year. Joe will be missed, good luck with the Angels. This was great to see!
Completely agree. Most of the fans were on his side, but for the minority that weren’t, it’ll be a case of you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone. I love Ross, but Maddon has 4 DECADES of coaching experience, and always knew exactly how to calm the storm. It’s gonna be a tough act to follow. Would’ve liked to see Joe stay and Ross come on as bench coach. But Theo and Jed want to coach the team, too. Sad times for Cubs baseball.
Absolutely, but I feel Chicago getting rid of players and good coaches is the trend no matter what sport. Hope to see both Angels and Cubs have a spectacular season!
@@truthteller4442 there are some really clueless Cubs fans who don't remember life before Joe I'm assuming. He's still getting almost what he got paid for the Cubs and I'm going to assume that Rossi is getting about a tenth of that. They let Joe go to save money.
Just a baseball thing, no one calls the manager or coaches “coach” it’s either the first name for the manager or “skip” or “skipper” and names for the assistant coaches
@@Yesica1993 me too! My dad and brother and I used to love watching Cubbies games. Those brutal early 90s Cubs teams....😂 but in true Cubs fan fashion, we cheered em on!
@@pepper1188 Ross is getting a 2yr $5mil dollar contract which was what he was making as a player as well. He's way overpaid for having no experience. Couldve gotten Joe girardi for half that. Mike Shcmidt from the cardnials got 800k last year and he was coach of the year. Most general managers make less than a mil a year...
Everything about this was fun and great, but what I actually loved the most was when you got to hear how and why Rizzo thought he was going to get a fastball right at the beginning. It's a great way to give the viewers a glimpse inside the mind of a guy at bat.
I have enjoyed every year of Cubs baseball since 2016. 17,18, and 19 were exciting fun to watch baseball except for the injuries that hurt momentum. I am excited about 20 Cubs all the way this year....
You guys are killing me with these videos. My son is quickly becoming a Cubs fan and that is just unacceptable in our home. We are Pirates fans dang it. Knock it off already.

Best stadium! Lotta bars and restaurants all around the stadium too, then just hop on the el to downtown!
I think it was Rizz doing that to mess with KB through the earpiece. Gold either way tho.
Right on, the ivy will still be brown but no bother. Been a very mild winter so hope you get some nice weather. Some April games can be gnarly.
Runnamucker, warm up. You're going in.

“I miss you coach” 😭😭😭😭
That was so touching!
David Ross better
@@Ianthesportsguy91 5th like

That makes one person missing the coach
Do this during the regular season. I think ratings wouldn't skyrocket
Players will have access to cheating again.
Will M There talking to the broadcasters so how they going to cheat?

Seriously, this is the best thing MLB has done in a long time. I would watch live games if they did this more often.
Oh my God I wish they could be mic'd up every game especially Rizzo!!!
We need more of this. I could literally watch this ally day
And the ESPY Award for best mic’d up moment goes to.............. Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo!
The espy award will hereby be known as the Brizzo award.
@Justin Sime Love you, buddy.
@michealbabb lol, agreed!
And Freddie

It's so weird seeing Gramps in the dugout as the new manager. Laughed when they called him "Skipper!"
Virtually all baseball managers are called "Skipper". Where have you been.
Bluestar 1227 Allie said was he laughed headass
If “Skipper” is here then who and where is “Gilligan ”? Sorry but had to go there!😎
Love Maddon💙
Just a baseball thing, no one calls the manager or coaches “coach” it’s either the first name for the manager or “skip” or “skipper” and names for the assistant coaches
We miss you coach! We can’t thank you enough for the gift you presented us.!!!
Why can't we get this style commentary all year long? Love it
I love the cubs but it won’t be the same without joe
Koala Pears
Hey, David ross is better in my opinion 😂
Rossy is epic
Joe did his best to lose the World Series, luckily the players bailed him out
glad hes gone. the cubs were a train wreck last year
@@Chibeagle absolutely. He's a dufus.
Look at Napoli back there chatting it up with Happ. I love this squad
Omg I love them and the team! I was dying in laughter the whole time with my dad. So excited for this season!
One of my favorite mic’d moments from some of my favorite players... and I’m a Dodger fan!
This is as much of Cubs baseball I will get to see this year. What they have done to their long term fans is unconscionable.
Grew up watching games all summer long on WGN. I'm crushed.
@@JennaLeigh
Same here. It was one of the few things my dad and I could share together, was watching those games.
@@Yesica1993 me too! My dad and brother and I used to love watching Cubbies games. Those brutal early 90s Cubs teams....😂 but in true Cubs fan fashion, we cheered em on!

Ha ha! I can relate!
Thanks for contributing, Jessica. Really glad you're here.
They didn't even show Rizzo trolling the Astros at the plate shame on them
@Kevin L I’m guessing he was ACTUALLY watching the game…
Please keep this duo together! I'm a Yankees fan but this has to be the most hilarious duo ever
Anthony Rizzo is the best !!! Love that guy !! 🇺🇸⚓️
This is amazing! I want mic'd players in every game now!
I love you so much go Chicago Cubs I am a big fan of you guys
Things will never be the same without Madden!
BOOM Tough actin' Tinactin!
Jim Lewis Maddon
@@Itz_Cliffy Gonna go on a whim regarding Jim: He LOVES Brett Favre.
It was great while it lasted.
@@hoosierflatty6435 au contraire. I liked Troy Aikman & Emmett Smith.
I love how the MLB does these things on special occasions. Having players mic'ed up and talking to them while playing a baseball game.
whyd they cut out Rizzos dig at the Astros in the beginning?
We miss you Joe!!
😞
he was over paid and screwed the cubs from winning the division last year...see ya!
GOAT
@@Youngstomata If he was overpaid why were five teams clamoring to pay him pretty much the same. And what is Ross getting paid by the way? Yeah.
@@pepper1188 Ross is getting a 2yr $5mil dollar contract which was what he was making as a player as well. He's way overpaid for having no experience. Couldve gotten Joe girardi for half that.
Mike Shcmidt from the cardnials got 800k last year and he was coach of the year. Most general managers make less than a mil a year...
Pepper1188 cause he won a World Series, it’s the same reason the Blackhawks got rid of Joel Quenneville
Thank you cubs I asked for Kris Bryant mic'd up and I got it Thank you 👍😁
Brewers fan here after 2021 trade deadline and I actually can feel you cub fans pain right now damn
This is so fun I love this
That was the most entertaining baseball game I have watched since November 2. 2016.
0:14 what was KB saying?
Omg over and over
I heard something like a timing device:
"Oh My God, oh my god, ohmygod, ohmygod"
“Oh my god” repeatedly like the movie Rookie of the Year
@@chad6849 BOOMER
I'm almost 100% sure that was Rizzo saying that and not KB.
Yes. I love it everytime the Cubs are mic'd up. Little League Series, the Spring Training game against Boston nice.
This needs to be on every game baseball this makes the game 100x better
Watching these videos post 2021 trade deadline hits the feels different🥲💔💔💔
I would like to thank whoever decided this was a good idea because it was indeed a brilliant idea
This needs to be something done in the regular season..it's so awesome!
I love Joe Madden. Good dude. I wish the cubs still had the entire 2016 team still!!!!
If the mlb can keep the mics on the players and have them play at the same competitive level, id watch every game because this is awesome haha
this was awesome. makes spring training even more fun.
I'm a twins fan but this is awesome. Great group of guys that I will be rooting for
I want more that was awesome!!
this was awesome
Wish they could do this all the time! Good stuff!
3:37 good luck anthony!
0:13 I love how he just keeps saying “oh my god”
They need to put up the whole 6 innings of them mic'd. There was a lot more than 3 and a half minutes of fun and insight.
I love how baseball does this
They should do this during games
They should have more mic'd up moments this year in the mlb.
Everything about this was fun and great, but what I actually loved the most was when you got to hear how and why Rizzo thought he was going to get a fastball right at the beginning. It's a great way to give the viewers a glimpse inside the mind of a guy at bat.
This is what I want to hear all game!!
Miss you Joe!!!!! Go Cubs!
Aww! I miss Joe!
Almost went to this game
Coming from a Brewers fan these dudes are chill
This was golden!!!
How can anyone not love #TeamBryzzo?
Love these guys
This....was...awesome!!!! Way cool! 😎😎😎
This is soooo awesome!!!
I love Rizzo and Bryant!
This was fun need more
This should totally be a regular season thing. Maybe not every game, but the Sunday night ESPN games would be great with this.
This is fantastic
Do more I love it
It sounds like Kris and Anthony were having lots of fun out in the field.
ESPN's announcers were probably having a blast, too!
Joe will always be a hero in Chicago
This was great
I have enjoyed every year of Cubs baseball since 2016. 17,18, and 19 were exciting fun to watch baseball except for the injuries that hurt momentum. I am excited about 20 Cubs all the way this year....
Sloan Part is almost as great a place to watch a game as Wrigley.
3:23 - Perfect 3-1 put out! Mid-season form.
I love these ⚾💕
This was amazing
Godbless man we love Anthony Rizzo 😁
You guys are killing me with these videos. My son is quickly becoming a Cubs fan and that is just unacceptable in our home. We are Pirates fans dang it. Knock it off already.
This is some good stuff
Cubs have such a sick team.
That’s from A REDS fan too.
GO REDS
I’m joined by my colleague, Kris Bryant.
Such a funny and perfectly executed bit
This was so much fun today
Love this!!!
This was great 😂😂
Watching this after the trades…. It’s tough.
I love this video
Love it!
I love the aliases they had for travel games 😂 clever!
Every team should do that pretty awesome
love this
Not a Cubs fan .
"Pure So.Side love " but this was awesome 👍 Nicely done
Send him back to the cubs please
Goddamn I love these guys!
If you don't LOVE Anthony Rizzo, something is definitely wrong with you. A Chicago Cub 4-life!
I hate Rizzo he's such a dirty player
Jake Jeffries if you can explain with examples on how he’s a dirty player I’ll give you $100 paypal
these guys are straight up COMICS!
lmao Javy wasn't like nah. we're done talking
Why is Kris Bryant wearing the regular cap and not the st one
I want this all the time!
Anyone notice kris Bryant is not wearing the spring training cap?
Will this happen at more games?
This is dope
