Of course South Bend is in my city the weekend I have no chance to go to a game.

The best thing about yesterday’s games is that the Cubs clearly are making strides developing pitching. It’s very encouraging.

So I don’t know how to insert a tweet, but this is pretty funny. From the other day.

 

Things got nutty before the game.

I'd have to go check...did any of us keep Thompson in the top 30?

I know it's not really the point, but I can't help but have the littlest bit of side-eye at Woods Richardson headlining that 'leaderboard' when his one outing was yesterday against Iowa and he gave up 4 H (including a HR and 2 2B) and 2 BB in 3.2 IP.
