It's late, the lights are low, and the bats are hot—welcome back to BCB After Dark, your go-to spot for Cubs talk, late-night vibes, and a little bit of jazz. Whether you're catching up from the night before or just getting your morning coffee, pull up a chair. No cover, no fuss. Just good baseball conversation.
Last time, we asked you to grade Craig Counsell's job as manager. With 47% of you giving him an "A" and another 46% handing out a "B," it's clear the fanbase is feeling good about the skipper. No "D" or "F" votes? That's about as strong a vote of confidence as you can get without a championship banner. And with 35 games in the books, the sample size is small, but the early returns are promising.
Now, let's talk about the moment that had Wrigley rocking—Michael Conforto's walk-off home run. A pinch-hit, game-winning blast? That's the stuff of daydreams. But was it your favorite homer of the young season? Or has another swing already stolen that title?
We rounded up six candidates, all from wins, and all packing serious Win Probability Added. Some were no-doubters. Others? They snuck up on us, like Ian Happ's late-inning laser that didn't seem huge at the time but ended up being the difference-maker. Which one made you leap off the couch? Which one had your neighbors knocking on the door?
Drop your vote below. And don't forget to grab your Cubs gear while you're here—because every great home run deserves a great jersey to celebrate in.
