Great job on not making the tag, Ronnie. WTF is he doing tonight....

Redemption for Ronnie.......Greg is by far the best fielding pitcher on the Cubs right now.

Greg might be the greatest fielding pitcher of all-time. He's been a defensive wizard tonight. I want him as our pitching coach.

I'd like to see him try. For another team.

Yes, he can!

 

I was standing by the visitors' bullpen during batting Marlins batting practice last year. Juan was playing catch with one of the Marlins pitchers.

 

Juan was standing on the outfield side of 2nd base. He threw one ball that overshot the pitcher and hit a little kid standing at the bullpen wall trying to get autographs.

Don't know about that, but it had better be the last time the old fart "sings" "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
